If thats the case, the so called 'small fighter' should move on down to the lower weight division. The fact of the matter is some guys are more merticulous with their weight cutting and have a genetic advantage in regards to how their weight is distributed etc. I cant blame them for that anymore than I can blame the guy with naturally longer arms, faster feet, great chin etc
Broner was a weight bully who got exposed when he moved to his natural weight class, since he could not compete at 140. Canelo also, since he had to roid at 160. I don’t consider Spence, Brook or Crawford weight bullies.
Holyfield roided to compete at HW against much bigger guy than himself. How does that make him a weight bully?
The ones who depend on it, have built their styles around it. Same as th guy with a long reach should build his style around utilising a jab and using range. I say that to say, if you have a genetic advantange you would be a fool to ignore it.
Canelo was a weight bully at 154-155 because he could not compete at 160 his natural weight class. Hence the comparison with Broner. Please tell me you just smoke too much weed, and that is why you cannot follow a simple argument.
That the smaller fighters could potentially just drain themselves to make an unnatural weight (which for older fighters, actually isnt a realistic option) to adapt to a weight bully in their division, doesnt mean the weight bully is not a weight bully. Thats like me bullying someone, and me saying well they can just leave if they want to, therefore its not bullying. Thats not how that works. Its fairly obvious when fighters are weight bullies, and that they go through extreme, extreme measures to do so. If they didnt know they were gaining an advantage fighting smaller fighters, they wouldn't be doing it. That the other fighters want to compete in a more natural division for them, doesnt negate a weight bully from the fact hes jumping through hoops to fight smaller men.
160 is not Canelo's natural weight class and you're a fool if you actually believe that. Fighting Khan was being a weight bully . Absolutely 100% Golovkin fighting Brook and Vanes makes him a weight bully. Trying to fight Cotto and then sitting on the couch rather than face another MW makes GGG a disgraceful weight bully.
How do you know what measures they go through to mae weights. How many times can a person go through extreme measures to make a weight, take callum smith for example. He is 6'3 which is the size for most decently sized cruiserweight let alone LHWs, is he a weight bully?
what a freakin clueless idiot.... Answer this smarty pants....WHY was Canelo fighting at 155 for a number of years? Because he could easily make 154 w/o a hitch? 3G is a weight bully because two guys came upo to challenge him? You have essentially rendered EVERY fighter who has ever faced an opponent moving up, as a weight bully. Idiot...
Good question. I think it has to do with the fact that everybody's body is different. So, some guys just have a natural ability to boil down and rehydrate back up effectively and without completely killing themselves, whereas others just can't stand the physical toll it takes on their bodies. I'm not one hundred percent certain, but that's my impression at least. I know for certain that as fighters get older it becomes harder and harder to do without consequence. I agree that there is a trade off there in terms of the luxuries of not cutting weight. It's definitely not for everybody, and as a fighter you've got to stick with what works for you in a division you are comfortable with.
Oh look . The forum hard man Lance is having another freak out. Like to think of yourself as an internet bully don't you? Pathetic wankstain. Remember when you were the forum whipping boy who was passed around from poster to poster while being publicly flogged in front of a global audience of millions?? The only reason you came back Lance_Uppercut is because all of your tormentors have retied. Now you think you can throw your weight around here once again. Don't quote me you sad old pric because this is the only response you'll ever get form me as i have no regard for your pathetic existence.
You done? Com'n Gilbert , you always run away. Stand up and defend your comments for once? Would you say this guy is telling the truth when he says Canelo is a natural welter /super welter? @ 4:00 This content is protected
