Turned pro at 169 lbs. At hw he was weighed in at around 215 lbs. Thats a mass increase of 46 lbs. Is there any other cases of a fighter putting on that amount of weight?
Unrelated side note on Toney. Did anyone else think even though he made the cruiser limit in his last fight he looked way fatter than when he was 200+ vs Holyfield? It almost felt to me like he lost mostly muscle/water.
I was thinking about the same guy. Plus I think his first fights as an amateur was at light welterweight (64 kg - 141 lbs).
Johnny Nelson's first bout was at 164lbs and boxed weighing as much as 206 later, and he was in very good shape
