You mean "compared to you".

 

Shocked, shocked I tell ya.

 

Fighters talk cap about their weight all the time.

Enzo Maccrinelli said he walks around at 196, and yet he just weighed in at 197.

Seriously it is beyond me how you can think that someone only loses 2lbs after a gruelling training regime. There are hundreds of fighters who keep themselves in shape between fights, and still lose 15lbs from their 'walking around weight.'


Seriously if this guy wasn't from Philly you wouldn't be banging on about him.

 

Floyd Mayweather has never weighed over 150 lbs. in his life, yet he fights at 147. Andre Ward also fights at around his walk around weight. Why is this so hard for you to believe? I would think with your degree in Sports Medicine, you would be able to grasp this concept.:roll:

 

I aint finding it hard to believe he weighs in at what he does, Im finding it hard to believe he loses 2lbs of weight from the time he starts his training camp for a big fight, to when he weighs in, which is what your saying.

 

No, it's what he said. The same is true for Mayweather. The guy walks around at about 148 and fights at 147. Your body is like a thermastat in regards to weight. There's a set weight that your body wants you at. If you go above it, your metabolism speeds up get you back down to your normal weight. If you go below it, your metabolism slows down. Drastic changes have to be made to your diet and/or exercise routine to change this. So, if Cunninham works out pretty hard all the time(not out of the question considering his Naval background) than it's not out of the question that he would only lose a few pounds during training, especially if he increases his caloric intake. But what do I know, I don't have a degree in sports medicine.

 

People dont train at 100% all the time, it aint possible. While he will keep himself in good shape between a fight, suddenly going into a big training camp will mean he will lose a significant amount of weight.

Im of the belief that there will be a significant difference between Cunningham's training intensity, as well as his diet, when he is in camp (I dunno how long his camps are before a big fight) and when he doesnt have a fight set (now for example.)

That is why I wont believe he loses only 2lbs after a hard training camp.

Like I say your using his quotes which is fair enough, but then Iv heard a load of boxers talk a lot of yang about their weight.


Also Mayweather weighed in at 150 for De La Hoya, but I thought I remembered hearing in commentary that he was slightly heavier come the fight night, despite weighing in way inside the limit.

 

you'd suck off anything that has links to the calzaghe name.

benn tko11.

 

Actually, after the fight he commented that he weighed 148 on fight night.
