    In the heavyweight division...........Danny Williams started his heavyweight career at about 230 but went up to 288 against Skelton.

    That's a pretty camp stance on Sketons part.

    You got a pic from the actual fight cuz honestly with the clothes on he doesn't seem that fat there.
    PS:Skelton is gay.

    :lol:

    He carried the weight very well. Even at 288 Danny wasn't "fat".

    I'll see what I can dig up.

    Well there is some fat there but can't say he actually looks worse than Skelton.His body allos him to varry the weight well probably.Doesn't look fat at all.

    They'd be getting in shape for the fight though, not the weigh-in...

    There is no need for them to rehydrate AFTER they weigh in because they don't have any weight to make. Also, dehydrating isn't something that is optimal to do in order to get in better shape, so cutting weight for them by dehydrating doesn't make much sense.
