    We all know that the likes of Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacquaio and Mayweather are fighting at their optimum weight classes as justified by the fact that they all come in at 150 fight night. 3 pounds above their weight.

    Now I ask. How well would the following do if they were to fight in their hydrated weight classes instead?

    Brandon Rios (came in at 160 last night) - Middleweight
    Matthyse - Junior Middleweight
    Bradley - Junior Middleweight
    Chavez Jr - Light Heavyweight
    Donaire - Lightweight

    I could see Donaire having the best amount of success.

    Donaire doesn't come in at over 135lbs.

    The rest would lose and lose handily. The though of Brandon Rios fighting Sergio Martinez is ****ing hilarious. He'd be doing that impression he did of Freddie Roach, only this time involuntarily.

    Bradley doesn't normally weigh 159. He was 147 vs Pacquiao and 150-152 vs Casamayor

    Chavez Jr vs. B-Hop would look like Chavez Jr vs. Manfredo.

    I don't think Bradley would be too bad at Junior Middle, it's got alot of fighters but no one head and shoulders above the rest. Donaire wouldn't be too bad at lightweight, I don't think he would win much though.

    The rest on that list would get owned, I think Chavez Jr would be a cruiser too :yep

    Donaire a lightweight? He only came in at 129 against Arce, so why are you bumping him up to lightweight? And why is Rios a middleweight and Bradley only a junior middleweight, when Bradley also came in at 160.
