    Ive seen him from a distance plenty of times, but I've only seen him up close once when I saw him in Seattle(have no idea what he was doing there) and he is huge. I don't even know how he makes 147. He's short and stubby but the guy has meat on top of meat on top of muscle on top of more muscle. Anyone who's actually seen him in person would say he walks around at 180-185, I'm kind of exaggerating with the 180 thing but he's pretty big, I think he cuts a little too much weight

    Most boxers have chicken legs. That's how they look so big but weight so little.

    Think of the thin waist were gym regulars have extra 10 lbs of garbage & a shade of abs, while car driving, sedantry average joes have extra 40 lbs of garbage on their waist line alone. Then do that for all the body, boxers cut weight include muscles & only keep useful muscles that with some boxers it tend to have a protruding appearance & retains the frame of a heavier weighing average joe

    An example of how muscle is shaped & cut down to bare minimum is the asymmetry in the photo of Devon Alexander weigh in (best detected at weigh in, before water weight increases symmetry), his biceps go along with his stance

    If it weren't for all that muscle mass I'd say he should be in the 135-140 range naturally. But the dude is a bit of a body builder so he's probably more like 155 and cuts down to 147.

    He is skinny naturally but obviously has great muscle bulding genetics. If you have ever seen his wrists etc you will see what I mean.

    It also explains his lack of pop too.

    Guys like him get jacked quickly

    You'll be suprised how at how low your boxing weight class would be.
    Those walking around 180 now would probably be ww-jw. If they are in shape maybe middleweights.

    those walking around 150lb would be lightweights. Not saying you'll fat but the weight drops off you like nobody's business when your training to fight. Also proffesional boxers are usually more muscular through years of core training.

    He used to avoid meat during training prior to a fight but not any more.

    He's around 156lbs on fight night. When he has relatively low body fat in training camp, he's around 165lbs. Before training camps, he's genuinely 'fat'. He probably weighs 180lbs.

    I've met him a few times, and been to a couple of his fights when he was fighting at the Aguas Caliente Casino...

    You probably saw him while he was in camp.
