    Fighter Weights between Fights

    Recent cases of Morales and Hatton got me wondering.....

    Ok so we all know the guys who baloon up. What about the fighters that are actually lighter when they arent fighting?

    Both Klitschkos look a good 10-5lb lighter between fights. Vitali more so.

    Toney? How much does he drop between fights?


    What about Pac? What weight does he walk at?

    Mayweather usually puts on the last few lbs weight when he stops camp, and he's in camp two days after a fight! That's what I heard.

    Carl Froch walks around at 165 and fights at 168, and even though he looks like about 180 in the ring he doesn't actually weigh anymore than 169-170.

        I don't know about that one chief, I believe is the other way around.

          Carl? When he stops camp I guess, like Mayweather.

          He likes to be strong at the weight and for him that means coming up rather than coming down then shooting back up, he thinks he could make 162 if he ate six small meals a day instead of three big meals a day.

            Meaning, he's obviously not burning calories when he stops training.. so the food is staying on. And he's not filling himself with any junk, but good food.

              And out of training, he simply doesn't eat as much.

                I remember in the last 3-2 weeks before Mayweather fights, he was at 150 and he had already been training for a good while. i doubt Mayweather has to add weight.

                And pacuqioa i remember he was in the 150's or more before the Morales fight. He probably balloons a bit higher, considering he came into the ring at 144.

                I would have never guessed that Klitchko has to gain weight.

                  He was down to 140 at one point in camp for Baldo, and he was force-feeding himself the night before the weigh-in but couldn't believe he was only 145 the next morning (he expected to be 148) and 146 by weigh-in time full to the brim.

                    No ****en way. Do you have a link? Damn thats light as hell -for him fighting at welterweight. I doubt thats true. He looked just as big as Bladomier in the ring.
