    :shock:


    Thats mad and in retrospect the weight dropping could have played a part in his injury


    What about Juanma, Arum may have been exaggerating, but he said that Lopez was 185 (!) when he entered camp

    Sot Chitalada used to walk around at 11 stones but got down to 8 stone. "Only" 3 stones but a lot as a percentage of bodyweight.

    Yeah, Atkinson was big in Thai boxing at the time and is the reason we got to see so many Thai title fights on British TV around that time.
