Moving up in weight doesn't mean you are bigger now

age smage,

it has nothing to do with it, Floyd could still make 130,

because hes not bigger now than he was then.

Nah, consider he was 22 or something like that when he fought there. He could make 140 if he wanted though pretty sure about that.

Both are smaller than the guys they fight now at WW and LHW, but neither could make the weight they started out at because they didn't start out with "adult" bodies.

Consider 22 an adult.

Legally yes, but not at peak physical maturity and not always for everyone....some people develop and peak at different ages.

How many spins are you going to put on this?


Read your thread title.

"Moving up in weight doesn't mean you are bigger now".


Last I checked,


147 is more than 130 which means he gained more weight, which means he got bigger.

Game over.

I specified that I was speaking the case in older fighters who have certainly stopped growing. I did this when other posters questioned younger fighters who have moved up as they aged though I should have put that in the original post....I am not spinning anything. Once you are at peak physical maturity if you more moving up you are not bigger but rather blown up or you were always bigger than the fighters who you were fighting. It is one or the other you cannot be smaller before and bigger later, but people try and spin it that way thus ignoring reality.

No, this is reality.


You cannot gain weight without getting bigger.

Its impossible.
