The return of Christopher Mark "The Fighting Collegian" Algieri

Isn't it kind of obvious that naturally smaller men punch with less force and also cant absorb the same amount of force?

So while yes if you drain too hard you will just sap your own power and chin. But if you are tall and skinny and make weight then why not cut weight and beat on the smallest men possible.

 

Don't know why Algieri keeps boxing. He'd probably make more money as a nutritionist.

He could become a nutrition coach for boxers. That way, he'd still be in boxing.

 

Should of come out to Moby.

 

I pretty much agree. But lets say for example a fighter wants to make 160 pound limit for example. Hes a ginormous Middleweight and he basically lives an absurdly disciplined lifestyle. No snacks, desserts, cookies, alcohol, etc. Always trains and watches his weight. He able to boil down to an unnatural weight through self discipline and pick on smaller men. Does this sound familiar? That's Bernard Hopkins. Should he be ridiculed for boiling down and keeping weight off his naturally larger frame?

 

It's a slippery slope though I would think. Because most fighters cut weight and keep weight off. Some are just more disciplined than others. And/or can dehydrate their bodies better.
