I think walk around weight does not mean that much. It can be misleading. Some fighters walk around between fights with lots of extra weight. Fat. Others like Hopkins and Mayweather walk around in shape and within 5 pounds or so of the weight they fight at. What percentage of their bodyweight is fat is a more meaningful statistic. Also when a fighter gives his walk around weight is that fully clothed after a big meal or with no clothes and empty. That could be 7 pounds or so different weights. I would guess Martinez wakes up in the morning weighing about 170 pounds with no clothes between training camps but that is just a guess.
