That was what was going on earlier when Jacobs was being compared to Marciano with nothing else to back it up.
That's correct. I wouldn't consider someone like Daniel Jacobs as a classical middleweight. He's bigger than even his contemporaries. What I was...
No, I agree that the process today enables fighters to drain more weight. You can refer to my past posts for that. I'm taking the conservative...
Case in point: the post above mine. Anyone want to defend that Bob Foster wasn't cutting to make light heavyweight, or is it just snark we're...
No, because cutting water is not some new discovery from the 2000's. Foster, before winding down as champion, only fought to knockout victories....
Let's pull on that thread a little more by naming the rare few middleweights who exceeded the 180-pound mark. In a compilation spanning 4 years,...
Okay, so no response to any of my questions, but plenty of snide comments and out-of-context numbers. Gotcha. Your own questions were answered,...
@Kamikaze You would also have to believe that water weight is an advantage in the ring for you to make a statement like "Jacobs and Marciano are...
Okay, both of these are true statements. But what do they prove? They don't prove that Tiger was training down from 167 when he was much younger....
It depends which era is being discussed in relation to this one. A lot of names have also been thrown around. I don't think it's unjustified to...
What are you saying? I never made any claim about advancement. I acknowledged their use and prevalence in the modern era.
I think I see where we disagree now. You take the fight night weights at face value. So, when they give out Chavez Jr.'s weight as 180 or Jacobs'...
Early in his professional career, I'd say from around 185-190. Later on, 185-195. Dick Tiger weighing in at 167 isn't proof of his difficulties...
Okay, point me to where I went astray. As far as I'm concerned, I'm the only one here substantiating my statements with their weights on the...
On average? No, on average lightweights aren't 150+ on the night. In modern times, it's usually contested between 145-150. Even Brandon Rios...
