Paul Williams gained 17 pounds in one day. HOW?!?

They drink some type of drink, I would get the name in a minute..Personally i think its a disgrace when fighters like Williams, Clottey, Margarito..Gatti (use to do it) does this, There should be some regulation on this type of activities.

Cotto drinks "PEDIALITE" immediately after weigh in. It's for hydrating the body, replenishing lost fluids, electrolytes, and aloids. As long as the fighter makes weight....they are within regulation. Some dudes can mangage that cycle quite easily, but sooner or later (Like Cotto at 140) it takes it's toll.

Fighters doesnt use laxatives, thats makes them too weak.

I beg to differ, lol. All it does is clean out your waste system.

Just to be fair thou, Quintana Came in at 158. Which is 10 plus pounds also after weigh in.

Still though, Williams went up dramatically. I think it effected his speed & stamina. He didn't throw nearly as many puches as he usually does

^^^ i gained about 8lbs after i was sick by just eating and drinking.

****, after I had mono, I had lost 15 pounds in one week. I was 6 foot at the time, and only weighed 130... I dropped down to 115, and I didn't even work out or anything. I was a junior in high school at the time. There is just a bunch of excess weight that a normal person's body has, that can be easily lost.

Anyways, Williams has nothing on Joshua Clottey... I'm still waiting for someone to top what he did when he fought Diego Corrales.

147 ---> 170

WOW!

2 gallons of fluid and a steak, no problem.

On a side note... how cool would it be to be so dehydrated from making weight that you can drink 2 gallons of water, and not have to pee, at all?

Okay, realistically, probably 3 gallons, a quart an hour or so, and he probably pisses a gallon. He could get an IV, but that would suck after a while. He is definitely dehydrated like a mother at the weigh in or else there's no reason to come in that heavy for the fight.

It would suck to be in the ring with a full bladder and get hit with a low body shot.

Well I don't think you should be blaming the fighters because just about everyone does it. It's the system that is in place.

I guess you need to ask why there is a 24 hour weigh in the first place, and what the pro's and con's are between 24 hour weigh in and same day weigh ins.

i think they changed the rule to the ones we have now because of the mancini duk koo kim fight

[Dorian]

Miranda was 168 at the weigh ins and fight night he was 192

[F-22 Raptor]

He sat around on BoxingScene all day.
