Roy Jones Jr. Unofficial/In-Ring Weights?

The fact he was a steroid cheat should do it.

 

the real solution is probably just to drop the inbetween weight classes, the weights wouldnt be so tight to begin with then.

Plus now you have much more depth in a division when for example you merge light heavy and suppermiddle like the way it was before.


Also bear in mind that a lot of times guys cutting actually hurt themselves more so. Theres a reason that lets take Floyd, theres a very good reason that he made Canelo fight at 152, even though he will weight more on the night for a man to dry out like that weakens him.

 

Marc Ratner weighed Roy in at 193 for the Ruiz fight, but it hadn't calibrated properly.

There was no way Roy weighed 193, because he started camp at 192.

The day of the fight, Ratner weighed him again on the same balance beam scales, and he weighed 199 with clothes. Ratner shared a joke with Mackie Shikstone, admitting that he'd messed up the first time.

Thomas Hauser reported for Seconds Out, that if you subtracted three pounds for Roy's clothing, he was 196 pounds.

 

It would probably have been an intriguing clash of styles to some hardcore fans.

But Roy said it would have been a very lacklustre fight for most viewers.

He said they'd both have been waiting on each other, being very cautious, resulting in little action.

 

lucky for those jokers theres no really need for a heavyweight weigh in:yep


however Loudon there is video of Roy himself saying he was over 200, hes with mackie when he says it I believe

 

Yeah, it's all on the same documentary - The Sweet Science.

But less clothes, he was in the high 190's.

Would you like to see the return of same day weigh ins, if it was deemed safe enough?

 

well they s****ped it because they were more dehydrated.

But yes I would welcome it if they also went back to the old divisions.

that way theres more room to not be killing yourself over a few pounds

 

I agree.
