Hurd walk around weight 178-180

Average boxer taking the advantage of his size and using it against smaller men

 

In my opinion boxers should just fight at the weight they normally walk around on and aren't fat. So for Hurd, he should fight at light heavy,

Ricky Hatton should have fought at heavyweight

 

It'd be interesting but also very dangerous for the smaller fighter. Wilder is an especially dangerous choice because he's fast for a HW and hits very hard. Someone really slow like Valuev would be give the small guy a far better shot.

I think some smaller fighters could dance their way around for quite a while without getting caught, but when they are it's the end of the fight. If it's a clean shot they'll be in hospital, and death is a serious possibility.

 

True. But a) at least he's honest about it, and b) if he has the gift of cutting a lot of weight easily, in the end there's no reason why he shouldn't use it to his advantage.

 

This generations JCCjr

 

I think Wilder's earned his respect now, somehow he's improved because he did look truly horrible in many of his earlier fights (Nichols, Sconier; even vs Molina, Szpilka etc. he did not look good).

I think Lomachenko would have a chance of lasting one round, after all he's got good legs to stay away, but you're right that none of those names would have any chance of beating Wilder.

 

You are a bit of a provocateur lol, we all know who you're talking about

Anyway, it's not necessarily dishonest. Fighters often use 30 and 7 day weigh-ins as a dry run for the real weigh-in, i.e. to check how well their body loses weight. Only fools believe that that's the true in-ring weight.

 

Who gives a crap, what’s wrong with someone using their physical advantages?

 

Because boxing is meant to be a fair contest of people of roughly the same size, if you have one guy cheating the system to fight much smaller guys and win it damages the integrity of the sport.
