    Yeah, Marquez too.

    When those 2 guys were fighting at 130, they were weighing in the 140s on fight night.

    Ortiz weighed 164 on fightnight against Floyd at welter.

    Hatton woulld come in at 155 having weighed 140 the day before.

    Margarito weighed 165 having weighed in at 150 against Pac.

    The list is endless.

    Dawson was 185 when he fought Ward

    I say,if you can make the weigh in the day before, more power to you.

    Gatti/his team cheated the scales for that fight though IIRC.

    Iran Barkley has to be up there. Dude was huge at middleweight, and even fought at HW.

    when they refuse to do fight night weigh ins, must mean they really put on the lbs.

    The biggest, confirmed, difference I've seen is 21lbs from Gatti and Clottey (who went from 149-170 overnight).

    As I recall, there was a rumour that Cazares went from 108-130 when he fought Calderon. Given the percentage of his body-weight that is, it would be quite staggering. The size difference between both guys was almost comical - I remember seeing Cazares a week or so before the fight when he still had about 14lbs to lose and he was absolutely shredded.

    If I remember correctly no one really knows how much gatti weighed at the actual weigh in so we can't really tell how much weight he put on. I don't think he ever made weight to begin with. Didn't he jump on the scale, someone said "yep he made it" then he jumped right off and started chugging water immidiatly and refused to get back on the scale saying that the water he just drank would throw **** off. Then he threatned to sue Gamache if he pulled out.

    Yeah, the commentators mentioned it before/during the first fight. Which is the biggest gain P4P that I've heard of, if it's true. Calderón being a small light flyweight only made the difference look like more.

    Chávez Jr. went up by about 21lbs vs Rubio, which is lot. I wonder if some of the cruiserweights reach 230lbs on the night...

    Dont know about the cruisers.

    Any cruiser that has gone up to heavy,tends to weigh no more that 220 even when they can eat and weigh what they want.

    Haye was only 210 or so when he went up.

    Adamek over time has gone up to over 220.

    Banks is around 220.

    Huck came in at 208 against Povetkin

    Seriously?

    I mean, I do think that. He was a very physically strong fighter, but he seldom used it. Given his counter-punching style I think he could have been better if he was if he was less muscular. It didn't affect his lateral movement in any way, that much was clear. But maybe it would have helped his workrate some.

    on the other spectrum, Mayweather (vs Judah) and Bradley(vs Pac) both weighed the same on the day of the fight as they did at the weigh in

    Pac was 147 on the night of JMM 2 after weighing in @ 130. Anyone know how much James Toney weighed on the night vs Jones Jr as he was supposedly really drained for that fight.

    I know Chavez Jr. was 181 for Rubio on fight night. He looked pretty defined for that fight. He looked a lot more bloated for the Martinez fight. I think he weighed 185 or so for that one.
