    More information:

    Dmitry Bivol at 21 was competing at 165
    He was 178 the following year

    Parallels abound. Same-day weigh-ins in amateur boxing point to Foster being a natural light heavyweight.

    Done with that guy. Just kitschy phrases that no longer have anything to do with boxing.

    No, Foster fought in an era that didn't believe in conditioning. But any day now, Bivol is going to challenge Juan Francisco Estrada for flyweight supremacy.

    Wilde couldn’t compete with the 200lbs monsters that inhabit his home division now. He could make work holding a spit bucket.

    I think you're underestimating Wilde. There's always the nonexistentweight and negativeweight belts he could nab.

    “Conditioning”
    He was 170lbs in the ring or he was “over 2lbs” rehydrated. Don’t make me send you to bed for your nonsense junior.

    2 + 180 = 182

    Just as I told Cross Trainer.

    He was 170 once, but 180 multiple times. Probably why the Anderson bout ended in a decision. He was dehydrated.

    No there’s not. Modern unborn boxers are 180lbs if you pour water on the packets they come in.

    No, no we aren’t dancing again it’s already over I already own your soul. Re-read all my posts, all of Greys all of Crosses and come to the conclusion you are my son and they are like your uncles? Or something.

    At first- it was brand new. If they were already making weight why risk it?
