It seems unlikely he rehydrated 40 pounds, but I wasn't there to be able to say for sure. By using the eye test, Gerrard looks like around 180. But who knows, he might be a tad smaller or a tad heavier.
As I say Toney rehydrated to 182 from 168 and looked really bad. The theory that McClellan was 20-25lbs bigger than Hagler, thus giving him an unassailable size advantage, relies on him losing and regaining nearly twice the amount of weight that had reduced Toney to what he was that night. I'm neither boxer nor medical man but losing that much weight and quickly regaining it ('quickly' as in by the next day and a half) seems to me a recipe for disaster. For McClellan to rehydrate from 160 to over 180, as is routinely being stated here, and yet remain effective enough to beat one of the best middleweights ever requires a leap of faith that I'm not prepared to give to a man who lost to Ralph Ward, Dennis Milton and Nigel Benn, with all due respect to those men.
Yes none of us are yet here you are............. Look forward to your next exciting thread. You've started around 40 BF24 threads in not much over a year that are ALL about Eubank Sr. Another half a dozen or more about Benn. Is there something you want to tell us We just aren't that stupid.
There it is. We have a self admitted liar in the camp. Well, hard not to admit it after being caught out so badly and tripping yourself up multiple times. Nothing you say from this point forward will be believed or respected. Oh hang on, it never was! Credibility zero. Amusement value - middling but predictable.
Camp? Strangely mistaken. I am not in your creep society. I'm above that, young man. You legend of the game you.
And yet, here you are, typing away. Tough to say you are above this board when you are just another poster here like anyone else.
Broken cheekbone, broken jaw, broken nose, all ligaments on side of neck torn off, urinating blood for three days and x-ray showed a shadow on the brain. This content is protected That wasn't human. Even Benn says he slipped into a zone where it wasn't him and he couldn't feel the punches, and his own shots were being let go at the right times with everything behind them without any prior thought. Even then, McClellan stayed on a knee. He beat himself in a way by quitting and not going out of this world on his shield (like Ali or Eubank would). Benn was Hagler's favourite fighter long before the McClellan fight though.
Well he's pretty good at reporting everyone else i am told but we will rise above him. Give him enough rope........
One of the funniest things happened earlier this year. He told me that he wasn’t a fan of Chris Eubank. Ha! What can you even say to something like that? And what about Atberry?
