Natural weights of fighters...

[LEFTYGUNZZ]

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.

Dude the fact you can say that they weren't very good wins leads me to belive you are an arm chair quarter back. Cause hind site is always 20/20 and no one was really picking PAC to upset ODLH. If they were lots of people were calling them crazy. I did say ODLH would not KO PAC but I didn't pick PAC to win. In fact no one really thought it would be a land slide that night. I myself was thinking Hatton was a true 140lb and would give PAC all he could handle. I thought the fight was 50/50 pick em. Hatton did give him some trouble in round 2 but PAC hit him with a pucnh that might knock out a middle weght. Nuff said PAC has two legit wins against pretty stiff competition. The fact he jumped from 135 to 147 and fought a ODLH and won by shut out was amazing. Then he took on the TOP 140lb fighter in the world at his natural and shattered his jaw in 2 rounds leaving Hatton to pick up the peices. He also beat Diaz at 135lbs. These three fights all in a row pretty good if you ask me. All while he was moving up in weight. No tune ups before these fights to get used to the extra weight....Lefty

A little over 160

People often forget Berto started out fighting as a middleweight

True enough. Due to his height, he probably dropped down.

Does any fighter these days stay close to the weight at which they fight (i.e. 5 lbs. or less)? I know Mayweather does that typically (146 for his IBF welterweight title fight against Judah, both at the weigh-in and fight night).

Cotto is not that much bigger than Manny. I don't know why people think Manny is sooo much smaller, in natural weight, maybe, probably about 10lbs if that.

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.

those walk around weights is not they're natural fighting weight. remember they have to train, get in shape which means they are gona lose weight.
