Fighters who rehydrated lots of weight after the weigh in

[Vadrigar.]

For his junior lightweight fights, Diego Corales used to come in at 154.

Can you think of any examples?

Arturo Gatti made a career of it.

Seriously! He spent most of his career fighting well below his optimal weightclass and he would dry out to make the weigh in then rehydrate to the point where he was a Middleweight fighting a Lightweight come fight time.

Nah, I was laughing at the sentence itself. I see what you mean though, it's pretty sneaky especially if you refuse to get weighed, like Floyd did for Marquez.

Poet already called it but the first name that comes to mind is Gatti.

Ricky Hatton.

Gerald McClellan is the one of the most commonly cited examples - a middleweight for the weigh-ins but the hydrated up to the size of a cruiserweight for the fight.

Edit: Joshua Clottey too, I honestly hate it when fighters balloon up in weight between weigh-in and the fight, it is can be seriously dangerous and can cut their prime short, bring back the same day weigh-in or there should be very slim margins for rehydration.

McClellan was indeed king of this crowd, but another example is Mosley during his LW days.

Roy jones he sai him self he would be 160 on fight night and go hydrate to 175
