    Here's another one i found straight away on google search.

    It seems to be in vogue to fight catch weight, what about that option?
    Catch weight is possible because I am getting older. The weight is coming on slightly, more than when I was in my Twenties. I mean I used to walk around at 12 Stone, so I probably could have made middleweight early in my career. I still find it easy to make super middleweight, so I’m not going to contradict what I just said, but I am getting bigger with age, so a catch weight fight would probably be a sensible option for me.

    I think Froch talks **** though. I’m half Polish, so I’ve got a fast metabolism. Like what lol?

    Thats only from 2014, also ive heard froch saying many times on twitter and youtube that he walks around at 170 + kinda weight. He was saying when the GGG fight was being talked about.

    Yeah, maybe many years before that he was actually walking around in the 170's. As of 2104 (the time of GGG discussions, he's on record saying 189lbs).

    The list of HOF fighters walking around 20-30+ Pounds above their weight class is endless. In the era of the "day before" weigh in you'd be stupid not to.

    Crawford v. Spence is THE fight at the moment.

    Crawford is already 30yrs old. Don't let this fight grow stale. Let's see two great champs IN THEIR PHYSICAL PRIME go at it.

    Pac gobbles a F-ton of rice during training...

    That aside, don't fighters need to replenish w/ carbs after hard training?

    They sure goddamn do!

    There's no glory in competing very near your "walk around weight". Good if you do, better if you dont.

    Lol! I know I was sayin. :D Many posters on here (The usual suspects) act like it’s BLASPHEMY when their boy ‘Bud’ gets called a weight bully. It’s pretty obvious why he is though.

    Crawford is not a cruiserweight, he does not have the frame for it....................he should fight Spence and Thurman, but instead he is taking the easy way out by fighting Horn, who can't fight at all............

    Terence Crawford will be a bigger faster stronger fighters with more pop at 147.
    That’s why Garcia and Thurman will avoid and try to get Crawford/Spence to fight.

    He just got to the weight class so he should, as others have had, get a chance to actually work his way into the division. Hell he is fighting for a title his first fight. Did Thurman and Spence do that?

    BaHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! Even if their weights got close, Crawford would have a height and reach advantage that Loma would not be able to overcome.

    Jeff "The Hornet" Horn walks around at 189lbs apparently.
