    What was Thomas Hearns walk around weight at Welterweight? He looked pretty damn big for 147.

    id say it'd have to have been about 165-170 in his welterweight days.

    Damn, that's what I was thinking. I bet 15 pounds of that extra weight was muscle too. He probably dehydrated him self like an s.o.b. on weigh in.

    no doubt,hes a big guy he must've worked his ass off to make 147 for as long as he did.

    He wasn't a particular heavy set man and I don't think he's the type to get fat.
    Probably 165.
    At most.

    when he wasnt training he didnt baloon up. so walking wieght woudl of been about 160 or so.

    he actually didnt come in fight night that heavy. i wouldnt be surprised if he wasnt over the jnr middle limit. he just got rid of all the wieght before fight night. through training and dieting.

    he always staayed in shape at cruiserwieght he trained well and wasnt really flabby but didnt show signs of lean wiry muscle. so thats shows that he was a skinny guy before hand and grew into his frame with a bigger diet.

    at 160 he was still very ripped for a former welter

    hearns was always a skinny ****, whether training or not. if he was 15 pounds over the weltereight limit then he would have found it too difficult to get back down. he would probably be in the early 150's.
