    I don't want to insult Mexicans, but there is no way for me to understand how boxer can gain 10 kg / 22 lb during the 24 hours. I doubt that it is some kind of Mexican witchcraft (see Canelo and Chavez jr.)....Or some strange herbs ?

    I don't really follow MMA but it seems the culture there is different in regard to weight cutting. Where a boxer might refuse the fight night scales, it seems almost a point of pride to cut a **** ton in MMA. Seen some people mention as high as 30lb

    Look at this ****ing ghost at weigh in

    MMA/UFC is a pure garbage - that is my opinion, and nothing can change this.

    Isn't that the case in the weight divisions Spence, Crawford and Loma are currently in?

    It is questionable, I don't know, but I feel that Crawford and Spence would do better in 147 and 154. I've already told that I had been waiting for Lomachenko-Garcia match, and it is impossible at 130. OK, I made a mistake, I should tell : I wish this fight, so, Loma move up...
    Although, Loma is olimpic champion in lightweight, and I am not sure which is the weight limit for this division in the amateurs...

    Well IV used to be legal so they had help rehydrating, I don't think they are ballooning up as much as they used to

    I didn't bring height in to the equation I was just pointing out that GGG is 5ft10.5 which is not a short middleweight at all, in fact it's well above average

    Golovkin is not a small middleweight at all, and his teams claims are quite pathetic, he's rather large in the division, thats why he refuses to fight Canelo @ a catch weight and he claims Canelo is bigger than him? Canelo is a very average sized middleweight

    Speaking of Lomachenko looks like his management don't want to pay Salido the $$ he deserves for the rematch THEY NEED.

    Any catchweight is disgusting for me. There are 17 weight divisions in modern day boxing. More than enough...

    I'm sorry Mr. ******, did I say something that was inaccurate that you would like to point out?

    Until I see Crawford in with a "natural" WW, I can't see him anywhere but 140.

    I think several of the guys currently at 147 are too big and strong for him.
