    Probably, so you have predictions?

    I don't know, I was just told Marciano trained like a Spartan to come in at 185, which he weighed only 6 times in a career that spanned roughly 15 pounds.

    I didn't know I thought that. I thought Marciano was a heavyweight but I have been misled apparently.

    A heavyweight in the 1950s.

    If Seamus hasn't posted it enough there doesn't appear to be anyone under 200 pounds in the division anymore.

    No but you only need to be 190 pounds to fight there. Probably. Maybe.

    Also I would like to retroactively say that Terry McGovern is a junior bantamweight and super Bantamweight champion.

    That may not be true and Marciano was under 190 for most of his fights.

    Ok.

    Water weight. All these guys today are cut and drop 10 pounds plus on average for weigh ins.

    Kovalev is 188 of lean muscle in the ring too. He makes 175 easy.
