    I've heard recent claims of Gatti beating his wife after he retired. :huh

    that's true about toney. although i wonder if he has to lose that much weight because he was naturally much bigger than the middle/super middle limit, or because he was a lazy ass at training and dieting (like hatton, who's a natural junior welter but balloons in between fights).

    and what about pavlik? is he really a natural middleweight? i haven't kept track of his fight night weights but he looks absolutely massive in the ring.
