    Yes Scott Harrison was huge for the weight. He must've rehydrated a lot of weight after the weigh in.

    The Charlo brother who fought Trout looked huge for 154. He looked about 175. Not saying he was as sometimes size can be deceptive but he did look really big for the weight.

    Lemieux looks like a jmw to me?
    Ffs he would be hella undersized @ 168. Ggg looked a good 5 lbs bigger to me

    Anthony mundine, started as super middle, and went down to junior middle looking like all bones, lost all power, still had speed but wasn't the same fighter...planning a fight at lightheavy v danny green..

    Actually looking at it, Lemieux is one of those fighters that weight is deceptive. He just has a really large core, and I don't think he diets. Guy looks rather bloated when he gets in the ring.

    CRAWFORD was too big for 135, it was an absolute joke.

    How much did he rehydrate against Gamboa again? I totally forgot, but wasn't he close to a JMW on fight night? :lol:

    Chavez Jr (posterboy of being too big)
    G. Jones (troughout all his weightclasses)
    Alvarez (obviously stating the obvious)
    McClellan (how the F did he make 160 with same day weigh-in?)
    Quillin (damn that fight with Sefara, or whatever that dude's name was)
    Broner (up to welter, where he was just so-so)

    All good calls. Daniel Geale is alleged to have come in at 182lbs against Cotto and that was a catchweight fight at 157lbs.

    Quillin was only 170 against Rosado IIRC. What did he weigh against that Aussie Chippendale?
