Yes but he did this before at lightweight and light welterweight, he was top heavy. If you watch the weigh in his legs are rather lean compared to the rest of him. Roach and Ariza stripped him down and rebuilt him more evenly. Roach was convinced that was the reason why he was super brittle around the whiskers.
Virgil Hunter raking in some huge paychecks over the years. So far 2 of his dudes(Angulo,Khan) will have fought Canelo. Berto fought Floyd with Virgil. So Virgil gets what 10% of the purse as trainer? Or is it more? Then I'm sure he takes a nice chunk of that Jay-Z money his God son gets!:yep
I wouldn't be surprised if Canelo uses Hydrochlorothiazide/HCT to cut weight. It stimulates the Kidneys and makes you urinate. But large does can be dangerous. One has to be very careful. Im not sure if the USADA/VADA people test for HCT. But its out of your system quickly.
if Khan manages to pull off the miracle these boards will be blazing with "PEDS" on every thread title :good
HCT doesn't enhance performance MVC. It will actually make you more tired after your workout. Its stimulates the kidneys and you urinate alot. Its very easy to get dehydrated with HCT so one must be very careful about increasing the dosage. People whom take to much and get dehydrated and end up needing an IV!:deal
Fat isn't as heavy as muscle. Maybe he wanted it that way. If he were to have bulked up it would take away his one advantage, hand speed. Muscles require oxygen and will make you tired.
