    Natural weights of fighters...

    I was just wondering what their walking-around weights are.

    For example, according to Roach, Pacquiao walks around 155. Cotto walks around at least 160 or so if not more, I'm pretty sure Mayweather's natural weight is 150.

    Anybody know what Berto or Clottey walk around as? Or Bradley, Hopkins, Marquez for that matter.

    I've seen Pacman as high as 160, cotto(I believe before he entered camp for the Clottey fight he was like 169 or so) gets up to 170 sometimes(according to HBO). I hear hopkins stays in the 180s, the others I'm not too sure of.

        You can't knock Pac for his impressive resume, but the fact is, he had a distinct size advantage over the likes of Marquez, Barrera and Morales. Everyone thought that DLH would destroy him, but Pac is much bigger then people realize.

        Pac is a good fighter but he is flawed. His wins over DLH and Hatton aren't a very good barometer of how good he is, or isn't. Neither of those fighters were very good.

          So who do you think would be a good litmus test? Mayweather? Cotto? Bradley? Williams? =P

          Anybody know what Berto's fight night weight is? He's built like a tank, no way he's 147 or even close to it on fight night.

            Saying that pac had a distinct size advantage is disingenuous and borderline lying. I don't think pac ever had 10 lbs on any opponent. 1-3 lbs, maybe, but not like what cotto will have on pac in nov.

                I've heard that Baldomir walks around at 190 even.

                  A little over 160

                  People often forget Berto started out fighting as a middleweight
