    What he weighed v Lacey would be ideal, but failing that does anybody know what he generally comes in at?

    At most 4-5lbs. I can't see him ballooning up 10-15lbs and carrying on like he does. He's way too active for that.

    Yeah? That sounds about right, he does boil down quite a bit. Anyone else?

    Joe himself has stated that hes best when he enters the ring at 178,ie ten pounds above the supermiddle limit....Will be interesting to see him at 175,the guys will be bigger but maybe joe will be stronger for not draining the pounds off....

    Joe was 178 on the night of the Kessler fight.

    he says his walk around weight is 14stone which is around 195

    In his book he says hes actually big for a LHW. God knows how hes made smw all these years

    Actually in alot of his fights he comes in over 180. His dad said in response to fighting hopkins a few years back how joe would handle all the wrestling tactics by nard and enzo responded that when joe enters
    the ring on fight night he weighs in at 182, so he said nard would have a hard time wrestling calzaghe around.
    At lightheavyweight joe would probably enter the ring at b/n 183-185.

    Yeah, I think this is where his pa deserves a lot of credit.

    Make you wonder whether Marciano would have any hope at all.
