Where you settle down in your "man" body and fight most effectively while being able to make the weight without making sacrifices is your NATURAL WEIGHT.
Floyd fought in the lower classes in his early 20's. He wasn't in his "man" body yet.
As soon as he hit his late 20's and early 30's he could no longer make those weights.
JMM in his late 30's could still make 26' and 30' comfortably in his man body, and it was his best weight.
Is how a fighter looks carrying that weight. Floyd looked like he could carry 135 against Castillo. What fight were you watching. Just cuz he really struggled but he had a messed up shoulder. And, Floyd looked good in the first half with the jab. Floyd look like he could carry 135.
Roy looked like he could carry 200lbs well.
JMM did not look like he carried 147 well. Did he to you?
And, if a fighter can still make a lower weightclass. For example P-Will could make 154 and maybe make 147. So he is not a true MW. He can fight at MW. But, he is not a true MW.
JMM before going up to 147 could of still make 130. Do you think JMM could make 140? Do you thinkg JMM could still make 135?
Do you think Floyd could comfortably make 140?
Do you think Shane could comfortably make 140?
Do you think Cotto could comfortably make 140?
I don't think they can. So they are true WWs. It is really not a hard concept to understand.
And, honestly do you believe JMM could beat Delvin Rodriguez at 147?
Please Explain.
1.What makes somebody a true (insert weightclass)???
2.What are the qualifications to be a true (insert weightclass)???
3.What characteristics does a person has to have to be a a true (insert weightclass)???
4.How can we tell if a fighter belongs in a (insert weightclass)??? or not...
Jrosales, JMM look fine to me.
You act like JMM never weigh 140+ in his fights before.
I bet if you check his fight night weight, He has been 140+ for a couple of his last 5 fights.
Like I said before, being effective has to do with your opponent very little with the fighter..
If a fighter moves up or down and fights a Mediocre fighters at a higher or lower weight effectively and look good doing it. does that now mean they prove they can fight beat everybody at that weight class...???
In addition, yes I think JMM would look impressive against Delvin Rodriguez
When they lose then that it not their true weight class
For instance Pacquiao doesn't have a weight class since hes beating up everyone but when he loses then his weight class will be 135 or whatever else people like to say
