What Makes Someone A Weight Bully? (Serious Question)

Successful, usually, because they have a talent for hydration and dehydration, more so than because they are great fighters. In an era of day of the fight weigh-ins, having to fight men their own size, they might be much less successful. You had the same thing going on as they weighed in with 12hrs to rehydrate though not as much gain, unless you weigh them stepping into the ring and they must be the same, you are going to have perceived weight bullies, in reality, they are just big in the weight class, while there is a range in every weight class it will always be there.

What are some of the determining factors you look for to determine what makes a guy a weight bully? Is it 1 thing or do you have a list of things said fighter would have to have done to be labeled with this distinction? Elaborate.​ No such thing, just an excuse casual boxing fans people use. If you can make weight. Thats your weight.

Nothing. It doesn't exist.

but seriously, a weight bully is someone like charlo, who canelo fans said was huge for his weight and was actually a lot bigger than canelo himself and may even bully him as the bigger guy in the ring Charlo and Callum Smith were both huge weight bullies that Canelo had to deal with there's a reason Callum is KOing guys at LHW atm, that was always his actual division. he just drained himself to beat on smaller guys...until he couldn't do it anymore Benavidez is another blatant weight bully that the ginger will put in his place, mfer should be fighting at cruiser

Bumped up

I think it applies to two types of fighters. One being the guy who is the bigger man and literally picks on smaller fighters or calls smaller fighters to come up and face him. The second is the fighter who can get down and make the weight, but overnight balloons themselves up two or three weight classes. I can't think of too many recent ones that do this consistently, but a good one that comes to mind was Arturo Gatti. Just look up his fight against Joey Gamache. He almost killed the dude. I believe they said he gained 24lbs or something over night. Imagine Gamache gained, MAYBE 4lbs overnight or something. That's a frightening size difference and in the case of that particular fight, it was. I'm pretty sure following that fight, some organizations made rules that you couldn't gain over 17lbs overnight.

Lol very true Honestly there’s so many, you have fighters who’ve beaten multiple world champions, even HOF’ers being labelled “cherry pickers”.

Stupid terminology invented by fanboys. Like calling a fighter “green” who’s had 30-40 pro fights. Lol very true

Nothing. Either you make the contracted weight or you don’t.
