Do boxers lie about how much they rehydrate to?

Look at what Joshua Clottey said on Facebook (this is actually him btw, Asian Sensation confirmed it): I take that fight in short notice 1month so it was very hard for me to make the weight and on the day of the weigh i weigh 9pounds over so i have only 2hours to make 147 so after i make it the food, drinks and anything just go to my stomach easy so the day of the fight i weigh 175 but i told the person who weigh me to make it 170 pls are u people happy now and its pass so lets forget it cos its remind me of Corrales R.I.P -Joshua Clottey talking about how he rehydrated for the Diego Corrales fight. :wtf:

No offense to Clottey, but he's kind of "ducking" me. I asked him again. Hopefully he'll answer. I'm curious to giving passes is a regular thing. That would be pretty cool if he answer's questions like that. It's not like he has a huge fan base.

30 lbs isnt possible... that's like eating a whole thanksgiving turkey all by yourself with the stuffing in the turkey. Yea seriously i just dont see how its possible. I find it sickening enough when they gain 15-20.

if thats really true, then Clottey is a freak of nature. how is it physically possible to lose 9 pounds in 2 hours, and then turn around and gain 30lbs overnight? I understand the whole waterweight thing, but damn. not even I could do something like that, and my weight fluctuates 5+lbs a day normally.

I think it's safe to say when can trust the numbers most of the time, but putting 30 pounds on overnight is scary...

What's just as crazy is that he lost 9 pounds in 2 hours.

I call horse radish. Or defective scale. There is no way he came up 30 pounds in a day. He would have been slow, sluggish, bad movement, and lower power. 30 pounds is ridiculous, that is drinking almost 4 gallons of water and NOT going to the bathroom.

It's odd that they'd bluff about it, but 30 lbs in less than 24 hrs is ****in ridiculous.

Diego Corrales went up to 160 too, but 175 is just crazy.
