    I don't mean won titles or nothing just from what weight they started at to where they finished.

    I've just been browsing box rec and decided look up Hugo Pineda because he looked massive when he fought Trinidad and he started at featherweight and his last fight was at cruiser.

    I mean that's some jump. Any other fighters jump that much or more?

    What would be the point of dehydrating beforehand?

    To get in shape offcourse.But probably not dehydrating themselves just cutting some weight.
