I couldnt help but laugh when I read that "magically" talking about having more power in the pros than in the amateurs. If you think that it happens "magically", you should stop watching boxing and start watching curling for instance, or whatever, because you have no clue about this sport.
Make sure you apply that to every boxer — their ‘natural weight’ shouldn’t change at all over a dozen years ... this was 2007, genius.
He wighed 207 pounds 2008 as a heavyweight. With rehydration he would make cruiser today without problem. He is a natural cruiser these days.
I recall watching at the Olympics as a lanky, skinny, clumsy novice, losing easily to Clemento Russo of Italy. He looked terrible. I would never have thought he would have gone on to do the things he's done. He is a manufactured product, protected by the WBC, but he deserves a lot of credit for his improvement.
He hasn’t weighed below 210 since that first pro fight. I’m going to assume you’re trolling because I don’t want to believe your IQ is that low.
From wiki: At the Golden Gloves he defeated highly touted cadet world champion Isiah Thomas - a southpaw from Detroit - and David Thompson, of Brooklyn, NY in the finals. At the U.S. championship he defeated Quantis Graves and won the final 31–15 over southpaw James Zimmerman of San Jose, Calif.
He weighed 212 1/2 for Fury. You’re literally just making stuff up. You do realize they record weights so you can look them up, right? You have no freaking idea what you’re talking a bout. Usyk is a cruiser.
