Seeing TheProudLunatic's (aka BodyBagz) ridiculous quotes is a reminder of (1) what an imbecilic loser this guy is and (2) why the forum needs to upgrade its ignore code so quoted posts are also suppressed (FYI Biledriver)

Great decision by his promoter and should be applauded. Hopefully Santos is compensated and Davis fined/ sanctioned.

Great way for Keshawn to not only lose respect as a professional fighter,
but also lose the respect of fans who went out of their way to see this fight.
Hope he gets his act together.
I think many guys these days, take being on wgt, not so seriously
because they think their opponents will cave into the pressure and allow the fight to go on regardless....
Ryan Garcia, Luis Nery, Chavez Jr, Broner, Salido come to mind...
There are exceptions of course, but the group above are universally known to be dirty and undisciplined...Comment

Why even mention weight when it comes to heavyweights, it's pointless.Originally posted by TheProudLunatic View Post
My point that eluded you was how they are supposed to be the cream of the sport.
Fight fans yell at guys like KD while Fury outweighed Wilder by 200 lbs
Every, not "almost" everyone, accepts this constant discrepancy
This is why HW's should never be on p4p lists.
They don't have to make weight.
Training is optional
Fury outweighed Wilder by an average of 41 pounds, that wasn't what won him the fight.
Nor did his weight help him when he lost to Usyk (career heaviest).
Also Wilder beat guys who had over 100 pounds on him, one almost 200 pounds...
Miller outweighed Dubois by 94 pounds, it didn't help him.
And just for context 41 pounds on an average heavyweight would be less than a 140 fight rehydrating to 165 (18% weight increase).
The average heavyweight is 6'4 and 235, Fury averaged 268 across the three fights (14% above average).
And it could be argued Wilder and KD had/have the same issue, lack of discipline.
Wilder COULD make cruiserweight and then people like you wouldn't cry about him being outweighed, he still would be though.
And lastly of course Heavyweights should be considered for P4P particularly those whom have moved up from cruiserweight/LHW e.g. Usyk, Holyfield, Ezzard Charles, Tunney so on and so forth.Comment

I didn't care about this match-up anyway, but Keyshawn definitely played himself here. To miss weight for a hometown fight by such an amount makes you question his discipline and desire. Hopefully, TR is already working on his 140lb debut in the next couple months.Comment

Big mouth guy who could not stop talking and trying to make out that he was some kind of promoter of himself and he skips making weight ? What a clown show, hope someone knocks him out knock him out outside the ring i do not care. Ought to have some kind of rule that if you skip weight by a certain amount (percentage%) ;then you get penalized. But hey drugs are flowing in the lead up to fights fighters are more interested in the ratings on social then in the rankings Boxing when will you get it right. And nobody cares about the fan anymore. Just take what we give you......................slopComment
