How good is a fighter if they need a 15-20lb advantage to be competitive?

    Ricky was never over 152 on fight night, that was the weight he was against Floyd and against Kostya, the only time Hatton was heaver and he said he felt sluggish was at 158 when he ought Collazo, said he would never be that again and wasnt.

    He never had a weight advantage at 140 he always came in at the normal weight JWW guys are on fight night low 150s, I have no idea how you arrive at this, you obviously have never known his fight night weights.

        If they can make weight then I don't see it as a problem.

          Yup, that’s my reasoning too. The heavier fighter is also at a disadvantage draining and boiling his body down to the limit.

            If you believe that your an idiot, Floyd has never been over 151/2 on fight night its so easy to prove, even weighing in fat recently he was low 150s lol.

            Notice very few people even bother to answer you, the troll label is attached and the majority will ignore your bs.

              Pretty much nonsense.

              Ricky blew up between fights, but he always cut the weight easily. The problem was the weight cuts were rapid (and weight gains), and lifestyle outside training was awful, so people worried about his health.

              Your post is just a personal opinion on his ability.

                    Mayweather stopped providing same day weights for the later part of his career.
