Now i have dig a little deeper in to the weight issue surrounding Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather. Now you will see at the bottom that Floyd naturally faught at higher weights. He even faught at 150lbs one time but later said that he was stuffed like a turkey and he probably wont do that again. You will also see Floyd never jumped more than 7lbs up at a time. But everybody is wondering How did this guy Move up 15lbs in one year and is destroying guys worst than he was at lower weights. Nobody in the history of boxing has done that........ Not even the known steroid users (Mosely,Jones,Vargas). Even though these boxers he has faced, have been cherry picked he still has done some great things. And dont forget hes Movin up like this and hes only 5'5 1/2.... Pacquiao - Mayweather 19yrs old 112lbs 131lbs 22yrs old 122lbs 130lbs 25yrs old 125lbs 134lbs 28yrs old 128lbs 139lbs 29yrs old 129lbs 146lbs 30yrs old 144lbs 150lbs 32yrs old ??? 146lbs
1 problem...you are comparing a fighter that drains himself to make weight against a fighter who doesnt... That will not give you an accurate comparison...Weight on fight night would be accurate...because that is the true weight... And not the weight a fighters creates to manipulate the rules...
After Floyd Mayweather Jr. amateur career, started at 130. Pacquiao at a teenager started at 106 then moved up. He was still malnourished when he was at the lower weight class and when he had the proper nutrition to keep his body healthy he drains himself to make 122, 126, and 130.
Your right Hating isnt my Thang.... Thats why i dont do it. This thread is to point out the facts. Which fighter in the history of the sport has went up 3 divisions after all ready going up 7 and have a knockout percentage of 100% in those 3 divisions? No one... So when your asked to take a drug test because things seem fishy, why would you act surprised.... I would be jumping at the Drug test because if im so good with out drugs then i would be worried about somebody else takin them to trying to beat me.... Im NOT saying Pac is using Steroids.............. Hes just ACTING LIKE SOMEONE THAT USES STEROIDS.............
the problem with that is it implies whatever your fight night weight is, that that is always what your truest fighting weight is, JMM is no welter too bad floyd hid his fight night weight
Your fight weight is the weight you choose to fight at for a particular fight. The weigh in provides the weight you work at to meet your contractual obligations... This has nothing to do with JMM It was was a comparision between Pac & Floyd. I stated that the thread creator is using the weight from fighter A that drains to make weight vs Fighter B that doesnt. That will not give you an accurated comparision of their weights...
