Not neccaserily IMO, If your putting on good weight, then its like adding more weight to your car by upgrading the engine. Muscles will be stronger to provide more of a driving force to power players.
You don't start starving yourself in order to get faster do you? So in the same way, adding weight doesn't neccaserily mean your slower.
Theres an advantage in increasing your momentum as well, which means an oppenent will need to provide more force to stop you.
