Do You Respect Fighters That Starve Themselves To Get An Advantage?

[sparked_85]

Pavlik and Taylor and Hopkins are huge ****-off middleweights.

[VIVA MEXICO!!]

Just wondered what you guys thought about this. If so name some fighters who do this.

i have no respect for mayweather at 130 and hopkins at 160.

Bernard Hopkins (did).

You don't know **** from shaving cream(no wonder you're a Scary Joe fan)

Hopkins gained fewer pounds after the weigh-in than anybody around..

Tito put on more pounds after the weigh-in than B-Hop..

Hop weigh-in less than Oscar.

Hopkins hardly gains weight when he's not fighting..he always close to his fighting weight..

The real question should be, Who DOESNT cut weight to fight at a certain weight-class?

i have no respect for mayweather at 130 and hopkins at 160.

Those guy didn't drain to make the weight.

Go back to the Home Depot parking lot you ****in scab.

What about Margarito at 147?

Or was the weight ducking him too?

Few can cut as much as Cotto..

He wins his fights on the scales..

Look at your name, and carefully rethink your opinion so as not to look like an uneducated hypocrite.

I look at Hop a little different, he was always in training and said himself he went to middleweight because the big guys hit too hard, that being when he lost his first fight at light heavy, his words not mine, also look at any Hop fight on HBO when they announce the weight at fight night, you never see HOP gain back alot of weight, he weighed less than 160 sometimes coming in at 156 for the weigh in, if you know anything about boxing you know you dont cut weight that much, you dont take away your strength when you dont have to, which tells me Hop was very comfortable at 160.

I like Hopkins but



Archie Moore did it as well.

I respect both of them.

Jake LaMotta starved himself too, he was practically a super middleweight, too big for a middleweight, too small for a light heavyweight.

[Left Hook Tua]

most of our heavyweight NEED to starve themselves......

imagine a tua who stayed 220. a peter at 230.
