    Hatton used to rehydrate to the low 150s....not unlike a lot of the other top 140 lb fighters. The difference would be that he would show up to camp weighing like 180 lbs. Losing 35 lbs in camp is one thing. Losing it the week before the fight is something totally different.

    It came out of Chavez jr's mouth in the spanish post fight show of golpe a golpe. He said he had to lose 35 pounds to make weight for the fight. (During the whole training camp, since camp started).

    You mis understood my post.

    I think Sergio weighed about 169 and Chavez was around 182

    Is that a guess or do you know?

    I think he meant since the beginning of the camp not water before the weight in. He looked like a fat **** two months ago so that wouldn't surprise me.

    I'd say Chavez was in his 180's looked just as big as his previous fights

    So if he was 159 on the weigh in, how much can you weigh more after rehydrating?

    In his previous fights he had been coming into the ring at 180. I doubt he changed his ways especially when knowing he would be taking more hits.

    Did he actually weigh in at 180 or were these more guesses?

    Nope, his official fight-night weight was 181, against Rubio I think.
