    I know a lot of people on here sometimes will have second thoughts on picking a fight just based on how a fighter looks at a weigh-in. Also, fans might say a fighter is "ready" for a fight based on appearance. Can you name some fighters that were shredded but tended to fade?

    I'll start it off: Steve Cunningham and Ike Quartey.

    When did Cunningham fade? Not even once he was beaten badly. Not even against Adamek. He lost a convincing decision but that's all. And that's the only convincing decision he's ever lost.

    I mean fading as in getting visibly tired, he's still won anyways for the most part. He was completely exhausted late against Huck(so was Huck), he was noticably tired in his second fight against Wlod(still won), and I didn't see his most recent fight, but according to the RBR on here he was breathing out of his mouth pretty early in that one as well.

    oscar was ripped because he had no water or fat in him
    he actually burned muscle
    think david reid he use to do it too and his career was over like jones burning off his heavy weight muscle
