What logic again? You don't even know what you are talking about and here you are talking about logic. You should've have stayed in school.

How much did JMM weigh in those fights?

He was 140

I actually posted this in another thread, but it's relevant here IMO:

Ok, it seems like there is a misunderstanding of cutting weight. As someone who used to wrestle, I know how it works.

A fighter shouldn't be anywhere near the restricted weight until the final moments of the weigh in. About 24 hours before that moment, the fighter should be around 5-10 pounds greater than what they need to weigh in. To lose those last few pounds, said person will start cutting. This means dehydration (by not drinking or sweating) and selective nutrition. This ensures that come weigh in, the fighter makes weight at their biggest possible size. During weigh ins, the fighter is nowhere near their regular weight, but drained for maximum size come fight night.

An expereinced cutter knows how much they can cut, so they'd maintain a certain weight until it comes time to cut. If people's claim of Cotto comming in fight night at 152-155 is true, that is how much he needs to weigh right now until the 24 hours before (or however long it takes Cotto to cut) of wiegh ins. If he's 155, it doesn't mean he needs to lose 1lb per day, otherwise when it is time to cut, he'd be WAY under 145, and rehydrate back up to 145.

i know i borrowed them from u...sorry

also...can u get Cotto's last 3 fight weights on fight night?

*sigh*

you my friend have no logic to use.

This is NOT a Mayweather thread....I posed the QUESTION about Pac's last 3 fights and why he weighed 147 lbs?

What on earth does Pacquiao weighting 147 lbs in his last 3 fights have to do with mayweather?...lol

How long u've been watching boxing?? 135 pounders rehydrate to 140,143,146 or whatever...

[Syf]

i wish people would fight at the actual weight the division implies... Cutting weight seems almost like cheating, to me.
