From everything I've heard, Bellamy was slimmer and quicker when he came into the league and ate his way into being a much lesser (irony intended) player than he could have been because he carried too much weight throughout his career. If that's true (and I wasn't there to see his Chicago years), then it makes a lot of sense.
