Is it no coincidence the greatest fighters of our era fight at walking-around weight?

I'd be willing to bet Hopkins never is outside of 5 pounds of fight weight, ever.

Now Mr. Hatton on the other hand....

 

Check the tale of the tape. He weighed 156 for Oscar, then weighed 169 on Fight Nigh. Was 159 for Keith Holmes, then 172 on fight night.

 

walking around at 160!? no way the guys always in shape and eats to try and make 154 (which he cant)... where did you hear he walks at 160?

 

pedjr's walk around weight against pee was zero. he walked in the moon.:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Considering Hopkins walking around weight is ~185lbs even when he was fighting as a middleweight then you are absolutely wrong.

 

He wanted to minimise the size issue and show that it was his boxing skills that would win him the fight

 

This weight limit cheating has got to stop................

 

You're right.
When they were at 130 lbs, Marquez would enter the ring at 138-140 lbs.
Pacquiao would enter it about 4 lbs heavier than that.

 

They spend more time training on their skill than they do conditioning to make weight

Makes sense

Don't forget Rigo and Lara

 

get a grip on reality. GGG is not one of the greats of this era. smmfh.

 

Every single one of them had more KOs and dominated the lower weight divisions much more then they do know. The reason these guys don't cut weight is because they want to show people they can fight at heavier weight classes and get more money. If Mayweather where to go down to 140 then he would destroy people even worse then know and we may see some KOs.

 

pretty sure roy jones would cut a lot of weight for fights.

 

The disadvantage you get from no water around your brain is a lot smaller than the advantage you get from the weaker punchers. A super middleweight is much more likely to knock a 168lb walking around weight person with full brain protection from water then a middle weight fighting the same guy with less water.

 

Hopkins drains to make weight more than the others listed...
