from what ive read charlie phil ********* lost like 30 some pounds in a few weeks. thats a lot of weight. but who has lost the most before a fight?lamotta claims he used to blow up to 180 190 and he was a middleweight. thats a lot of weight to cut.
that has got to be bad for the body and mentally draining always worrying about weight weight weight.
chris eubank - 30 to 20 pounds before fights. wieghed 220 (with clothes on albiet)in 1993 roberto duran - 60 pounds before leonard steve luevano - 30 pounds but sometimes only less than 10 pounds duke mckenzie - wieghed 140 in his flywieght days but up to 154 when out of a fight. james toney - story's are varied we knew he was struggling at 160 but it seems he was a 190 pound guy making 160. so 30 odd pounds floyd mayweather jr- to make 130 had to not eat for 4 days. he is under 160 pounds now but back then he was a solid 140 odd guy i think the lamotta thing is not real wieght draining. he was a fat man outside of fights. where as nowadays we can have solid guys get rid of all there water and ....other bodily stuff. to make a wieght division. then have a day of refilling,rehydrating and rest. and be fresh and ready for the fight next day. eubank said he could only have 5 sprays of water the whole day he was training. at the end of the day he once dropped a plastic bag and didnt have the energy to pick it up, his trainer picked it up and took him home. they go to the wiegh in at 168 pounds. then chilled all day and drank as much water as he wanted and ate what he needed. just not eating isnt really wieght draining it's just making wieght.
