no in low level fights theres no stress on making weight at all, most prospects dont have to make weight until they start reaching the higher levels of the division, eg jason quigley is a middleweight prospect and weighed in at 166 for one of his fights
He was gaining 20lbs fight night for half his career? I may have to reassess my assessment of his abilities...
Well that was then, this is now :smoke I gave you a source that said these days he's dehydrating from 195-198. Your turn to give me one that says it's actually 185-188. :smoke
il talk actual evidence of him being able to make 178 with same day weigh ins as adult instead of the hearsay of an a second rate austrialian:smoke wasnt his ring weight against johnson like 187?:smoke
I doubt he was draining that much in his early days at 140, but by the end it was near that amount (17 lbs vs Corley in 2005 and he had 4 more fights there without ever stepping on a fight night scale). Rehydrating that much is a good sign he was fighting below a weight that had become his new "natural".
I haven't seen anything to suggest that, source it please :smoke I'll take Caparello's word, he seems like an honorable bloke :smoke
il look it up,, blake also didnt say he re hydrates to that, he said he trains down from that, big difference:smoke anyway when we start hearing about ring weights we will see for sure:smoke
Golovkin certainly doesn't NEED Cotto and Canelo to be "top premier elite fighter". He's already a " top premier elite fighter" and higher on the pound for pound rankings than them, silly.
So his highest light welter fight night weight was officially 157... Maybe he is a solid 147er overall. Maybe...
Well that was 10 years ago.... I very much doubt that he'd be able to make 147 ten years after weighing 157 on fight night for a 140 lb bout.
We all know Floyd isn't really a 154 fighter. Is he the same size as Julian Jackson? Fight night at 185 is just right for a 175 boxer so I think we agree
He would struggle now. He should drop the belts and fight on against other marquee names who can't make their fight-weight any more.
