Spence walks around 176? wtfffff

They're both the same weight. Huge Welterweights that should probably be fighting at 154 Brook walks at about 180.

I think it would surprise a lot of people if they knew what many fighters walk around weighing. Back in the early 90s I wrestled at a small Div 3 college and it was not uncommon for guys to drop 25lbs in a week to hit a weekend tournament. Given in boxing, the training camp is several weeks 30 to 40 pounds is doable. Sustainable, not really. There are probably a good portion that get down to 5% body fat and then wring out another 5 to 10 pounds of water weight just to make weight. Yeah, my nephew walks around at 188,competes in MMA at 155.Barely gets any money on the cage rage circuit, nearly kills himself. Takes growth hormone and other stuff. Is it worth it? I don't think so.

You gonna have to cite sources if you gon make claims like that... Just a couple of guys from the St Thomas boxing gym, before the Golovkin fight I believe Eddie Hearn mentioned it as well. You saw what he looked like in underwear at the 30 day weigh in for Golovkin. 176 without much fat. If you think he bulked up two divisions of lean weight in the few weeks between being scheduled for a welter defence and agreeing to fight GGG,then you must think he had some good drugs. He's alway had to shed alot of weight. He's heavier than Spence for sure.

Folks saying he's a cruiserweight. They cut weight too. Cruiserweights walk around from 205-220, that's far above 176. Are there some numbers for Cruiserweights around? I was always interested in how much cruisers cut, because when Bellew moved to heavy for Haye, he weighed in at only 213 pounds and had a good amount of excess fat.

That's just not true. This is what Kell said after the 30 day weigh in 8/20/2016 http://www.skysports.com/golovkin-vs-brook/news/34037/10543267/1 "I'm normally heavy. Not as heavy as I am now but with the science behind it, I've been working my legs with the weights but keeping the speed and movement. I've been using all the ring and probably a bit too much, getting used to moving a lot because anything that can happen on the night. He was referring to the fact he's normally lower that close to a fight, because he has to make welter. I know a few people who know Brook quite well. He definitely didn't bulk up to look like that. He's weight when he starts camp is always around the 185 mark. He's still doing alot of cycling,and weights, but that was because he had big problems running after the machete attack on his leg. He'll definitely make weight, but if it goes more than six, he's is trouble.

He's a big boy. Wonder how much longer he feels he can make 147. I also wonder if he has ever had to adhere to the IBF's second day weight in rule. I think that's why he's in a rush to get his title shots. He know his time at 147 is limited.

No he didn't Hatton used to weigh around 152 on fight night. Losing weight for the fight and cutting weight for the weigh-in to put it back on aren't the same. Lol thought it was a joke about cutting cocaine.

No he didn't Hatton used to weigh around 152 on fight night. Losing weight for the fight and cutting weight for the weigh-in to put it back on aren't the same. They aren't the same, but Hatton used to have to lose more weight. That's a fact.

Nah he rehydrated to 165ish but he walked around at atleast 170. No. I saw him in person in between the berto I and Floyd fight. I asked what he was weighing. He told me about 165 and it seemed right. This was before the Floyd fight was even signed so he wasn't in camp yet.

most of your favorite fighters walk around way heavy. how else woudl they put on the 10-15 lbs after they weigh in? your best weight is the weight at whcih you do your best sparring. that's not your walking wieght, or your weigh in weight. it's when you're ready to fight. guys shed weight over weeks, and then during fight week will skip meals and limit water intake if the muyst. sweat a bit, then weight in. over 30 hours you put on the weight and, ideally, get to that magical number where you do your best sparring. Hey man not seeing you often nowadays, hope all is fine :boxing:

Pretty sure they stepped on the showtime scales. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Floyd_Mayweather_Jr._vs._Marcos_Maidana first fight marcos was 165 fight night. I just found weird that Maidana put on 12 pounds of muscle in comparison to the Lopez fight... weird. Maybe he had clothes on and cell phone etc. Maybe he was with gloves on etc.

Folks saying he's a cruiserweight. They cut weight too. Cruiserweights walk around from 205-220, that's far above 176.

Heard someone say that he(Spence) said this at the press conference? that is a lot of weight to cut wow most of your favorite fighters walk around way heavy. how else woudl they put on the 10-15 lbs after they weigh in? your best weight is the weight at whcih you do your best sparring. that's not your walking wieght, or your weigh in weight. it's when you're ready to fight. guys shed weight over weeks, and then during fight week will skip meals and limit water intake if the muyst. sweat a bit, then weight in. over 30 hours you put on the weight and, ideally, get to that magical number where you do your best sparring.

Na. Ortiz was usually walking around 165ish Nah he rehydrated to 165ish but he walked around at atleast 170.

That's because he's noticeably taller than Brook. Sure, but by a few inches at mos.

The surprising thing is he doesn't even look chunky at the weight, like Brook does. That's because he's noticeably taller than Brook.

I think most welters probably walk around at 170+ ..... I know for a fact Cotto and Clottey did back in the day and they weren't as tall as Spence. I think Maidana and Victor Ortiz did too. Na. Ortiz was usually walking around 165ish

He'll definitely need to move up soon then, he's not exactly all that young in boxing terms, 27 years old. We'll probably see a sense of urgency from him to fight Thurman next if he beats Brook. His window is relatively short. No way he continues making WW for long. Maybe moves up next year. And yeah, 176lbs sounds heavy, that's like the maximum weight you want to be at that height. Higher than that and you become a fat yank.

These guys walk around 175ish and upwards, but they all fight at 147... TBE walks around at 160ish when he was retired!!!
