When you move up in weight you lose power?!

[The Great Shark]

If you use steroids it gives you more than enough power to put out even the best of them.

show your mom the pic of you smoking DRUGS on an open forum. i dares you. look man. pac has been putting on 16lbs and change on the day of the fight. go look at some boxing history and youll see fighters from 25+ years ago didnt put on 20lbs on fight night. there are peds to help you drop serious wweight and pac is on them. you cant weigh in at 130 and get to 146 on fight night naturaly. if that was true than we would have seen it during haglers time.potassium weight drops wont get you 20 pounds

putting 16lbs on day of fight?! wtf are you talking about?! pac walks around weighting around welter weight, eats hellllaa just to keep it that way. your statement is a cold ass fail. fcukin FAIL! and stop talkin about my mom like you know what she approves. WEED is my prescripted drug, stop cryin about it.

can you name a legit 7th time champion? honestly though? dude got a ww belt at a catch weight--diamond my ass. look a little closer just cus its on paper dont mean jack--jack. dont let urself be manipulated man.

you discredit him for 2 pounds? please slap yourself

GREAT! you want a cookie?

I would say you loose speed more than power.

I would say you loose speed more than power.

of course, i agree. pac was naturally quick, he might've lost speed, but he still make the fighter look like he's in a turtle race.

i've always thought you gain it or at least carry it. correct me if im wrong, but the heavier, the harder, right?

You would hit harder just not as hard as a fighter naturally from that weight class to begin with.

Sugar Ray Leonard
Roy Jones Jr
Floyd Mayweather
Joan Guzman
Bernard Hopkins
Kelly Pavlik(@ 168)
Etc

All these guys will tell you one thing that they lost a little bit of while going up in weight. Power. Their KO ratio went down dramatically. If your power keeps rising as you go up in weight and you're a veteran/not a up and coming youngster like Khan/Ortiz(who's bodies can still grow into WW with the same power), and you went through many wars in the lower weights, then you went up unnaturally.

[PB32]

You don't lose it as such, it just may not be able to hurt the bigger guys as much as it did the smaller ones.

Well said.

wow, so youre saying you CAN NOT gain power going up in weight; more so losing the power? and the fighter has to be unnatural to keep his power if he's a veteran?!

wtf?

Nah...i dont think so...you might get a little slower but mainly you might get stronger i dont know...its when you move down weight is when you lose muscle.

Not totally true bro, I am losing weight yet still getting stronger at the same time in all aspects of weightlifting/bodyweight exercises... But to the TS, no thats not necessarily true either, if you lift weights you should be getting stronger as you move up in weight, thats usually how it goes if im not mistaken... However, you wont get as strong as Manny Pacquiao did when he went up in weight because he used steroids.
