Carlos Monzon ring weight

Not always but often.
If Monzon was coming in at 162 against fighters who were 165 or 170, it might be safe to assume he wasn't much bigger.

 

Alan Minter talks about full bodied middleweights here. Towards end of video, after the fight.
He puts the ring weight of a middleweight at 11st11 to 12st here, if I understand correctly.
165 to 168.

He was wrong about Hearns, or perhaps he was right about Hearns at that particular time, 1982.

A gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds .. I would imagine over a course of 8 hours you could easily drink 2 gallons if you are extremely dehydrated .. You will urinate some of it out .. But, as you said, your body will absorb most of it .. In the end ,, all it really is is weight going in(water and food) vs weight going out Carbon dioxide(exhaling), sweat , and urine

 

Yeah, I think water also with certain carbohydrates, banana or something, in a dehydrated state, will get quickly processed and shuttled into the blood and depleted/dried muscle tissue. Especially in a strong athlete, a finely tuned machine, very efficient.
Whatever the science behind it, anecdotal evidence and received wisdom seems to confirm that boxers were weighing in at morning or early afternoon then coming to fight late evening weighing several pounds more.
Obviously these days with 36 hour weigh ins it can be a lot more weight, but 9 or 10 pounds on a middleweight back in the old days, in some cases, was possible.

 

And Brusa clearly states that in the article I posted..as Brusa says, he busted his ass to make weight . .He was with Monzon since the beginning ..developed him, trained , and managed . .After 15 years with him ,, he certainly knew his own fighters weight

 

Yeah, no reason to doubt it.

 

I do know about fluid intake and liquids, I go to the Dialysis clinic three days a week for 4 hours, on my days off, weekends, Tues, and Thurs, I have to watch my fluid intake.
