Its absolutely possible that he could have dried out 10lbs and rehydrated, with day before weigh ins.

Originally posted by them_apples View Postyou honestly believe that? he was nearly 6 ft. They still cut mad weight back then. second day weigh ins are for health reasons. He was making 147 in his early 20's. plenty of fighters now could make lighter weight classes if they didn't eat so much and lift so much. Canelo for example.
If anything they would just weigh more now a days. Ray had huge fists and a big head. I know you rag on me for being a young guy who raves about older fighters, but you really don't give them any credit.
I rate Ray Robinson as the greatest fighter ever, resume and ability wise, he would cut a swathe through todays WW division but to say he couldn't make 135 or 140 at any point of his career is just silly.
and sorry about the other thread i troll a bit on here and take cheap shots sometimes. nothing personal.

Originally posted by juggernaut666 View PostI see what the confusion is in lamottas day Middleweight was 154 to 160 ...
So no link to the video footage of LaMotta being introduced as 155 then?
Originally posted by juggernaut666 View PostHis record clearly has him as 14 fights in as a pro as "MIDDLEWEIGHT" doesnt anyone actually look thhis stuff up before posting ?
That is still incorrect as the total amount was 19 times.

LaMotta only once went under the 155lbs mark, in 1947 against Tony Janiro he came in at 154½lbs and the only time he registered specifically at your number was against Fritzie Zivic in 1943 and your still half a pound out with 155½lbs.
To support your argument please provide the link to this footage on youtube in which the announcer informs the crowd that LaMotta weighs 155lbs.
