    No, Gvozdyk is near enough a CW dimensions wise.. Smith too.. he's just thick set but a comfortable LHW.. being 15lbs out 30 days before the weigh in isn't a big deal at that weight when you consider numerous lightweights and welterweights are over by more than that 30 days prior…

    This weight bullying bull**** is getting out of hand.


    Hurd was supposed to be the biggest weight bully around, and he got found out.

    Being 190 30 days before the light heavyweight weigh in isn't a huge deal pal.. example? Crawford.. for his light welterweight fight with postol he was 150.. he's a LWW.. Charlo.. 173 for his 30 day weigh in against Hogan for example… He's a middleweight .. you getting it yet?

    Bivol is small LHW

    Around 190 is the norm for the light heavyweight, what aren't you getting? Splitting hairs over a couple of pounds is pretty sad… I said dimensions as well, I suspect the Ukrainian probably walked around at over 200lbs and is longer and taller than AB.. all this is pretty standard and common knowledge, he's a comfortable light heavyweight mate obviously

    How can a man who walks around under the next divsion's limit be a weight bully? You have guys walking around 5 or 6 weight classes above the limit they fight at and yet Beterbiev walks around under the limit of Cruiserweight, but he's a weight bully?

    168 really is the most useless division in the world. 168 to 175 is 7 pounds and 175 to 200 is 25, how does anyone think that makes sense

    Beterbiev is a boxer who could have performed in the old cruiser class at 190 pounds. That said Smith Jr is also a big light heavyweight.

    Simple solution. make them weigh in and make weight every day for the week leading up to the fight.
