    Canelo walks around the same weight too.

    Even as an amateur, Beterbiev was outsized by the likes of Usyk and Michael Hunter.

    Just saw their press conference and when he and Smith Jr. were side by side Beterbiev looked like a sledge hammer compared to lean and lanky Smith Jr.

    If they make the weight naturally then that’s their prerogative. That’s why I don’t believe in the weight drained excuse if you make the weight then your good to go. If he wins he’s a weight bully but if he loses many will say he’s weight drained.

    Well if he makes weight it's fair game.

    Thats not walk around weight, thats 30 days before the fight. Canelo is 168-175 pounds at 30 days. What does Amateur have to do with this? Classic fanboy deflecting and bringing up things that are irrelevant

    There is no such thing as a weight bully. Once you accept that fact, it saves a lot of trouble.

    That's from 5 years ago from GGG1 mate.

    Beterbiev is not a giant LHW. Kovalev used to walk around much higher than Beterbiev.

    We dont even know Beterbiev's walk around weight, all we know its probably 195 atleast, 190 pounds only 30 days before a fight.

    Seems like everyone has about the same idea how to be strongest on fight night by trimming down over the final month. A pound or two 30 days out is just a little water or if they kept their belt on while weighing in.

    If a fighter makes weight I don't see the problem. It's when rehydration clauses rear their ugly head that **** me off.
