    No **** it's common. And you are still lying. You don't even have any proof or an example. For the most part, 3G stayed active and was always within 160 even a month away from his fight night.

    You want to hate 3G, that's fine. But making stuff up?? Does that make you feel better?

    Foolish of you to think someone is lying when you have no proof of them lying. I have no reason to lie, and this is nothing to do with not liking GGG. This was known info that GGG has walked around way heavier than 160. GGG actually came in fight night against fighters like Canelo and Daniel Jacobs weighing 180. So, if he's in shape at that weight, then it's not far-fetched he could reach up too 200 pounds when he's not training for a fight.

    You said 200 pounds. No **** he walks around heavier than 160. That's his fighting weight for ****'s sake. And no, he did NOT weigh 180 against Canelo or Jacobs. Jacobs came in heavier, as they even said they would. Jacobs looked much bigger when they fought.

    Now you are just ASSUMING?? After making that claim?? You have nothing to base this on other than your assumption about a fighter you hate. Convenient....;

    You are making it up. Jacobs came in at 180lbs or more. Jacobs avoided the IBF mandatory next morning weighin on purpose. You you aren't allowed to gain over 10lbs. GGG came in at 170lbs. That was his normal 2nd day weighin weight. The most GGG ever weighed on the 2nd day weighin on record was vs Rubio, he weighed 173lbs. GGG looked a little chubby before the first Canelo fight. What ever he weighed at that time he weighed, thats just being fat. GGG was as natural a middleweight as they come. If he didnt get down to 160lbs for the weighin he would look fat.

    He doesn't but i do, i have all those fights on dvd, when HBO used to show how much they weighed the next day. Canelo stopped allowing the next day weighin weights to be seen because it exposed him in his lies about being too small to fight GGG. Canelo came in at 174lbs for the Trout fight.

    I never trusted the guys who refused a fight night weigh in. Oscar used to do that all the time!

    Canelo did it because his main excuse for not fighting GGG was he had to grow into the weight.

    If you do some research instead of being lazy. You can find info stating he was weighing 180 against Jacobs. So stop being lazy and look it up. Stop assuming I hate him cause your wrong. I'm not a fan of his, but I don't hate him.

    Yes of course. The most avoided fighter of his generation. Record for MW defenses. Only lost due to corrupt judging.

    GGG was a bit unlucky as he was a complete beast in his prime with no legends to fight in his weight division at the time...... anyone that was great either avoided him or was in a different weight class

    In my opinion, in his prime, he could beat James Toney, Hearns. Hagler etc...
