I certainly wouldnt go to those extremes but my thoughts that a literal interpretation wouldnt take into account the fact that hes so well built. There have been examples of smaller jumpers where the effect was the opposite

I dont buy the nonsense that Denman was really as fit as a fiddle. PN doesnt send punters away and he was quite clear that the horse was above his normal weight. although PN's definition of fully fit maybe much more searching than that of a less astute trainer
