I think corrales obviously starves himself to remain in lower weight........morales, gatti, cotto, any other guys that are just too big for their weight class?

spinx came in huge too, like 10 pounds over the 147 weight limit or something.

Also Oscar De La Hoya had to go through serious hell to make 147 and it will be even worse if he tries to get down there again.

Vargas and Freitas most likely.

Freitas walks around at 160 or 170. Im serious. By fight time, he might have to drop 30-40 pounds from what Ive heard.

Vargas has blown up at times, and I would not doubt him being close to 190-200, when not training.

That could be potentially 50 lbs over his fighting weight.

Larios,Cotto,Gatti - Always have trouble making weight

Celestino Caballero(5'11, 122lbs) and Diego Corrales(5'11, 130-135lbs) - Both of these two have to starve themselves to make weight.5'11 is like a natural Welter or Middleweights height :eek:

Some people just have great metabolisms. I mean they still go through hell as much as the next guy but they lose much more weight in doing it.

Vargas case is even crazier. If you see him on interviews, like after 8 months of no activity, he baloons. He balloned when he hurt his back, and was not training. I would definitely say he was close to 200 pounds.

against Joval, I guess we will see. Im sure they will talk about this exact subject prior to fight time.

Thomas Hearns when he was a amateur 6'0 and 132 pounds!!!

Carlos Zarate was 5'8 and a bantamweight

definately Corrales

Remember that guy they showed on the undercard of Hopkins-eastman

Kingsley Ikeke-6'4 middleweight!!! That guy was huge but i dunno how he weighed only 160

Morales - look how fat the guy was at the press conference..
Corrales - he walks around weighing at the super-middle weight limit..
James Toney back when he did have to..

KT loses about 25 pounds to make weight each fight and enters the ring between 10 and 15 pounds over

Seriously?

I'd expect that kind of thing from Arturo Gatti, but I didn't know Kostya Tszyu was like that too...He looks like a small guy, though..I couldn't imagine him being 165lbs.

He came into the 2nd Mitchell fight weighing at the jr middle weight limit. That's why him & Cotto are "stronger" than the other 140 lbs. guys. We were right about Chop giving Cotto hell in that fight this past weekend, lol!!!!

Cotto definitely. He looks 20 pounds above his weight class. I wonder how much he actually weighs during fight night.

my votes' also for Cotto & Corrales, chico, just cuz it has to be being that tall, and cotto just cuz he friggin weighed so much the day after weigh-ins

Cotto was wrong for weighing that much against Corley

How about Cintron,he's a huge welter.Its that true about Morales being fat after fights? :eek: Remember when gatti was 100 pounds over the limit and almost killed that guy named gamache that was insane.

That was also one of the ugliest knockouts I have ever seen.

Gamache dropped like a sack of potatoes.

Jermain Taylor looks like he's having trouble making Middleweight...He is a big Middleweight, he can probably afford to move up to LHW.

It was scary wasn't it...his eyes turned blank he was out from the first shot.
