What's with all this "natural weight" crap?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

If u turn pro at 19, and are fighting at the 130lb division, then that is your natural weightclass THEN. If 10yrs later, u pack on some pounds, and decide to fight at 147 or 154, how are u fighting out of your natural weight class? Your natural weight is whatever your weight is at the time. Not 10-15yrs ago.

I've seen many posters here make an argument about certain fighters fighting outside thier natural weight class, and i just didnt make sense to me.

So, just for clarity, when Manny Pacquiao weighs 146 on fight night for a 130 fight, is he a natural welterweight...or a natural superfeatherweight?

true.

Cause when you get older around 21 or a little after you start filling out your frame = more weight.

Everyone except Ricky Hatton...right?

As long as Manny keeps putting on weight while looking dead fit and performing at the highest level, that is a difficult question.

Wow you really are clueless, huh?
I would explain this to you if you werent such a lost cause.

Floyd walks around at aboutt 150 pounds and has for some time. Compare that to guys like Cotto and Marg who walk around at at least 160, even 170 naturally.
So ignorant, this thread is hilarious.

Clueless was your father when he didnt use a condom.

If u started your career at 130, and now fight at 147 (10yrs later), your natural weight is no longer 130. Your natural fighting weight is now 147. Some posters will argue that your natrual weight is the weight where u started fighting at.

Deevel, How about if MOST of your fights were at 130?

If most of your fights were at 130, but now are unable to safely/easily make the weight, then your new fighting weight is your current natural fighting weight.

What's so hard to understand?

So, given that Floyd could make 135/140, is that his "natural weight"?
