What Makes Someone A Weight Bully? (Serious Question)

[Santa_]

I'd say somebody that takes illegal diuretics to make weight and then blow up 15-25 pounds by the time they step in the ring the next night.

but seriously, a weight bully is someone like charlo, who canelo fans said was huge for his weight and was actually a lot bigger than canelo himself and may even bully him as the bigger guy in the ring

Charlo and Callum Smith were both huge weight bullies that Canelo had to deal with

there's a reason Callum is KOing guys at LHW atm, that was always his actual division. he just drained himself to beat on smaller guys...until he couldn't do it anymore

Benavidez is another blatant weight bully that the ginger will put in his place, mfer should be fighting at cruiser

Nothing. It doesn't exist.

Nothing. It doesn't exist.

I tend to agree with this. I'd prefer if boxers fought at their walking around weight, but since there is a sport within the sport of losing as much weight as you can the only thing that matters is if you can make weight for 5mins or less the day before a fight.

What are some of the determining factors you look for to determine what makes a guy a weight bully?

Is it 1 thing or do you have a list of things said fighter would have to have done to be labeled with this distinction? Elaborate.

No such thing, just an excuse casual boxing fans people use. If you can make weight. Thats your weight.

Successful, usually, because they have a talent for hydration and dehydration, more so than because they are great fighters. In an era of day of the fight weigh-ins, having to fight men their own size, they might be much less successful.

You had the same thing going on as they weighed in with 12hrs to rehydrate though not as much gain, unless you weigh them stepping into the ring and they must be the same, you are going to have perceived weight bullies, in reality, they are just big in the weight class, while there is a range in every weight class it will always be there.
