When have Corrales and Hatton ever come into the ring weighing 130 and 140 pounds respectively? They stayed at those weight classes because they...
Ofc they didn't. Outside of fringe cases, most fighters staying long in certain divisions meant that it was their best weight in the same day era....
Corrales and Hatton won't be in his division in the same day weigh in era.
But he was a better boxer. And he could crack for a small fighter. 33 KOs in 57 wins. Duran vs Dejesus 1 was seen as a battle of punchers.
Both worse boxers than Dejesus.
But combine that with a longer reach than his (for once) and power and that's a recipe for trouble.
The Toney-McCallum fights are both so good that I need ask, which one?
In a 12 rounder, Hearns could be favored slightly. A prime Leonard had trouble landing hard leather on him for 12 rounds despite his speed...
Monzon by KO. But he isn't winning a decision if it by some miracle went to the cards. Hearns' boxing ability wasn't only down to his reach, and...
Listed as 76 inches in Toney I. I am going to run with that from now on. Long arms but not quite Hearns tier long.
GGG never weighed in over 170 pounds on fight night.
Neither man was best at 135. Crawford because of how much he rehydrated to by fight night.
Beterbiev is a better boxer than Benavidez and has more power. It is possible.
Wouldn't have stopped him.
My memory maybe faulty but he weighed in the same night as well for the Jones fight. Somewhere north of 185 pounds was what the commentator was...
