Gatti gained 17 pounds on day of the fight with Joey Gamache and brutally KO’d him. That fit gained a lot of attention and there was talk of changing rules and weigh-in protocols over 17 pounds. Pazienza insists he was putting on 20-30 pounds on the day of some of his fights. Spence and Crawford each walk around at 180+. I would bet Floyd was at least 165 or better for his fights with Marquez, Manny, and several others where he refused to get on the scale day of the fight.

We need to revert back to same day weigh ins.
Khabib and other dagestanis pioneered weight bullying strategies in the UFC. They damn near killed themselves to make weight and end up putting on a Devin Haney level of poundage after weight in.
Maybe Canelo deserves some credit too

I don't know man. I can't judge until I see him with his next fights against competitive opponents. I have to see him with Jamaine Ortiz, Richard Commey, Jose Ramirez, Catterall, Sandor Marin, etc. Even Masayoshi Nakatani will do for me. You know, fighters that Loma, Lopez and others fought just for comparison purposes, not retired Gamboa or Linares. Let's see how he will do.

He was also bigger than Prograis, who never even touched Haney anyway.
