"So cut they barely made weight" dude that made absolutely no sense, such a contradictory statement. implying that someone is "Cut" means they have a low body fat %... so how can someone make weight if they are "so cut".... If haye wasn't "cut" he would way much much more. I hope you got your words mixed up.
I mean that you need to have a very low body fat when you are making weight for cruiser. Guys like, gassiev, usyk, huck, bridies could easily make weight if you would lower the cw limit by a few pounds. I doubt that cruiser haye could have loosed 4 pounds more.
