Hurd is taller and more muscular than james degale who fights two divisions above him tonight.
hell hurd is bigger than kovalev, a light heavyweight
how the hell is he fighting people the size of Lara, brook etc 5'9

weight divisions are a piss take these days, there is no skill in being a weight bullyThere is no such thing as a weight bully. That's just a term crybabies made up as excuse for losing. Hurd is not bigger than DeGale and that's a ridiculous statement. They all weighed in on the same scale and Hurd weighed 153 to Lara's 153.5 and DeGale weighed 167.5 which is 14.5 pounds heavier than Hurd. Hurd is a full grown 27 year old who easily makes the weight limit with a pound to spare. He has done nothing wrong and hasn't bullied or cheated anyone. If you don't like the current rule of weighing in the afternoon before the fight then say so. Meanwhile Hurd is legal within those rules. Hurd has no magical mythical power to comfortable gain more weight than Lara after the weigh in.If Hurd gains too much weight between the weigh in and the fight it will do him more harm than good. Hurd has a very tough job beating the skilled Lara. If Hurd wins he deserves full credit for a great victory and doesn't deserve to be called an unskilled weight bully.
It's probably not that far from truth. DeGale was talking about moving down while ago and is not a big 168.. while Hurd is enormous at weight(Probably looks bigger too because he has Heavyweight sized head...).
