    Fight night weight is only a relevant metric if it is real.

    Half of the fight night weights listed are absolute BS. 170ish is what the big guys come in @. Hurd probably does walk to the ring closer to 180.

    Why do you have this thing where Canelo is huge and Hurd is average. Do you have eyes?

    It’s not a good or bad idea, it’s a non-sensical idea. First of all it isn’t a dirty trick unless he is using peds to make the weight. Second of all do you know he has an ibf belt which means he can’t rehydrate to a certain point after the weigh in. So Hurd and his opponent really come in at a similar weight. Don’t mistake walking around weight to fighting weight.

    Billy joe said he was 200lbs before the akavov fight yet he isn’t a ‘big’ MW and looks smaller than Hurd.

    I just think Hurd doesn't have much time at 154, you can only do that kind of weight cut and perform when your in your young prime. 1 fight to many it can catch up with you. Will he clear up 154 before we find out -probably but chicken charlo wont want to find out and play the long game as his team know that Hurd can't stay at 154 forever and then the belts be vacant and they can sweep them up.

    I just assume all boxers lie about their walk around weight.

    Naz and Kell Brook walk around @ 190+
    BJS has been known to walk around @ 210+

    Difference between Hurd and those guys is he is still ripped to shreds

    Yeah, and? Horn is a Welterweight who's no bigger than Spence or Brook, Hurd is bigger than..... everyone at LMW and MW and is comparable to most SMW in terms of sheer size. Oh dear!
