So tired of hearing boxers complain about how hard it is to make weight.

If its that hard to make weight then guess what?....You're in the wrong weight class dummy. If you have to step on the scales looking like a corpse then you need to move up and stop complaining. This goes for pretty much all of Robert Garcia's fighters. Thank you! I've been saying this forever, you got 140lbers coming in at 165 on fight night. And yet a TRUE 147lber can get crap for picking on a "smaller man" This is crazy man

Move up or eat clean, lazy ass mofos in boxing man. They just want a size advantage sap as much weight because of the day before weigh in and do a 24 hour hydration to gain back the size. They need to bring back same day weigh ins with water testing to see if they have enough fluids in their body if they dont they cannot fight, like they would do in wrestling. They are so lazy, back with same day weigh ins boxers would rarely balloon in weight only a few did it, now its common the majority of boxers will balloon in weight. The heavyweights today are even overweight, back in the day the heavyweights wanted to be as lean and fit as possible weighing no more than 215 at times, now these guys are lazy thinking since their is no weight limit they can eat whatever they please and weigh in 240 plus pounds. Only a handful of boxers today actually stay in good shape, Rigondeaux, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Marquez, Golovkin, Hopkins, Klitschko, Andre Ward, Froch, are just a few that come to mind.

Hard to lose weight is still reasonable but health come first.

Does this means Fighter A loses "because he was weight drained" excuse is invalid? hmmm..

Fighters need to be training year round, even though i dont really like floyd mayweather i respect his work ethic. I understand that they have money and are young so are probably out partying and not training between fights, but they need to change these habits and sacrifice more to be an elite boxer.

When its done right its a very big advantage on fight night , thats why they do it , if your not endowed with great ability or great power its means a lot to be the bigger guy on fight night . Its easy for you to sit behind a keyboard and make judgement . The bold is true because most of the time they're rehydrating to a higher weight class than their opponent come fight night. I know it's allowed for the moment but it's an unsportsman like advantage in my opinion.

Yea either that or stop fvcking getting fat between fights.. how hard is it to eat clean and exercise? I can see having to lose 5-10 pounds..but 20-30 is ridiculous This! If they maintained their bodies between fights that wouldn't happen

Kell Brook struggles to make 147, and has done for a while. He's just afraid moving to 154 will hamper his chances at any major success as the division doesn't offer nowhere near the options like 147. Kell Brook is huge at 47, he's absolutely shredded at the weigh in.

It is not the walking around weight that is the issue in my opinion..it is the fact that they are not dedicated to their craft and blow up between fights and do not take care of themselves properly..That is why a lot of fighters have stamina issues

ITT: people who never had to make weight for boxing/wrestling/kickboxing/muay thai Why'd you delete that post proclaiming that you're 4-0 with 4 KO's at 147 Golovkin?

When I boxed I used to blow up about 30 pounds in between fights Chavez style. I used to fight at 147, night of the fight I was around 175, and then went up to 180 or so after it. I did it for the size advantage, I was walking thru everybody. But I had an injury and took a break and just left the sport for good. I still do some sparring, kinda regret leaving the sport. 4W (4KOs)-0L.

Dam right. this should be adressed more often
