Thurman: "Pac Too Small To Handle My Power"

Basementgymboxing. Usually they only have data from HBO and Showtime fights. They're starting to include PBC cards on the major networks too though. :thumbsup

 

Thanks. Brook vs Porter now Brook vs Rios soon, we are really watching SMW/MW fights.

 

You're welcome.

Just about, I don't really consider their unofficial weight the actual. But it's interesting to see how heavy these guys get.

 

Except that he entered the ring at 163 pounds for his last fight with Alvarado and 159 pounds for his other two career WW fights.

Just look at the link Ducklerr posted, guys. There are plenty of WW's that show up at 159+. Nothing out of the ordinary. It appears that the weight jumpers that I have already said above are pretty much the ones that really don't approach or exceed 160...

Victor Ortiz is a recent WW titlist who comes in well over 160.

Andre Berto has always come in at high 150's to 160 and above.

Jan Zaveck used to come in at 160.

Shane Mosley used to come in at 160.

Small WW Josesito Lopez came in at 159 against Maidana two years ago. Small WW Mike Alvarado came in above 160 for his last fight.

Luis Abregu came in at 159 for his last televised fight against Sadam Ali. Sadam Ali's last opponent Santana apparently came in at 167 pounds.

Even Lamont Peterson's 143 pound catchweight fight with Danny Garcia saw him enter the ring at 165 pounds.


This whole awakening to in-ring weights the last year or so is fascinating to me. It's like you guys are in denial for some reason. And there isn't even a logical agenda to support for being publicly in denial of it. I just don't get it. It is what it is.

 

I don't have an agenda... I just said that more of the top 10 or 20 welter don't come in 160+ than do :conf

 

Yes but you've made it sound like a WW entering the ring at 160 is abnormally big when on the contrary it is ordinary and routine. Maybe not for the current top 10. But for the division as a whole 160 nowadays is not out of the ordinary.

You're cool man. I really wasn't making that last statement in regards to this particular conversation or to you at all. More just in general... and I guess maybe a little bit at you, hahah, as explained one inch above.

 

:thumbsup

I would just say that IMO any fighter in any division who is routinely cutting around 10+% of his rehydrated weight in order to make the limit is usually big for his weight class and has likely either fought at a higher weight in the past or is a strong candidate to make a permanent move to a higher weight class in the future. I don't consider it in any way anomalous for a welter to come in over 160 a few times, I just doubt they'll sustain it for long.
