Why does weight class matter in Pac-JMM? It doesn't! Evidence.

You have no clue what carrying weight means. Please log off. There's a detailed explanation post above yours. Carrying weight = bulking up, JMM doesnt need to bulk up, hes simply fighting his normal weight except not dehydrating, which is exactly what Pac is doing.

Yes, Im sure 2years and 3months of steroid abuse couldnt have put much weight on him

Here's one for you, within 2 years, PBF managed to go from LW to WW. You dont think within 2 years of retirement he would have gone up quite a bit of weight, enough so that he initially agreed to 144 and found out "oh ****, im bigger after 2 years, cant make the weight for ****!".

 

Fool, Ive been boxing for 7 years and bodybuild for longer. I know exactly about weights.

Well what are you asking for? You are saying dehydrating makes you a weaker fighter...I agree. Hence why Pac doesnt wanna dehydrate. JMM dehydrates, it makes him a weaker fighter. Solution, dont dehydrate!

Normally that kind of scenario doesnt play out well, because for example, if JMM didnt dehydrate and weighed in at 145 instead and fought at 147, his opponent would be weighing in 147 and fighting at 155. Pac on the other hand is exactly in the same boat as JMM, hes gonna be within 3lbs of JMM fight night and weigh in.

The key point here is, neither needs to dehydrate, neither needs to bulk up to the weight and worry if they can carry it and neither will be at a massive weight advantage. This is effectively a 135lb and a 138lb fighter fighting at 144lb BUT neither guy is forceably trying to add extra bulk so they weigh more fight night, they simply come in around their fight night weight.

 

Because he had to bulk up for that weight...that is what carrying weight is all about. In this instance, he doesnt need to bulk up in weight, cos his opponent will weigh the same regardless. He just has to not dehydrate himself...which is a good thing.

If I usually weigh in 135lb and fight night hydrate to 145lb, my natural weight is 145lb. However, I dont fight at 145lb because my opponents would hydrate to 155lb. So if I wanted to fight at 145lb, id BULK up to 145lb, that is forceably adding weight, so then on fight night I myself weigh 155lb. Now this is where the term "carrying weight" comes from, how much has much physical attributes improved relative to the weight?

In this scenario, I dont need to bulk up. If I come in at 145lb, I will weigh in at 145lb and fight at 145lb. Im not dehydrated, feel stronger AND my opponent doesnt outweigh me by 10lbs.

 

He doesnt have an argument. I presented facts, its the truth, its up to everyone else to counter it.

Both will weigh in the near the same on fight night, thats enough proof for me. I could see the argument for JMM if JMM had to bulk up in order to be the same weight fight night, as that extra bulk he would have to carry. However, he doesnt need to bulk therefore there is no extra weight to carry, just his usual weight which is the same as Pac's.

 

When did PW weigh in at HW? He can weigh in at HW but he would need to bulk up 70lbs...how well will he carry that 70lbs bulk...I dont know. Chances are, not very well. Thats why its not his natural weight, cos he has to FORCE his body to move up to that weight.

JMM doesnt need to bulk up ****, he will carry the same weight he does for this fight as he does at LW come fight night. He doesnt need to force his body to add weight and worry if he can carry that extra weight...he doesnt need to cos his opponent wont outweigh him by more than 3lb.

 

Hey, to quote your boyfriend:

"Men lie, women lie, numbers dont lie" - Pac weighs the same as JMM :rofl
