Raoch: Clottey is going to weigh like 165lbs in the ring

[Carpe Diem]

Are they gonna make Clottey pay if he come overweight? I hope they do.

[Mushroom]

Clottey was threatened to weight no more than 154 lbs on fight night or his whole purse will be taken away as punishment.

Is this actually true?

[Siggy]

Is this actually true?

use some common sense dude. of course it isnt.

i think clottey will come in closer to 165 than 155 on fight night.
his trainer's statement about coming in 155 is just a smokescreen.
after clottey re-hydrates, he will weigh on fight night what he'll weigh on fight night. it aint like his trainer will be weighing him the day of the fight and if he's over 155, he'll make clottey sweat it off.

Water-weight and muscle-weight are two different things.

Pacquiao is just as ripped at 147 for the weigh-in, as he was for the weigh-in at 130 against Marquez just over a year ago.

Mayweather fought at 130 only weighing 136 against fighters at 130 who weighed 144lbs. Does this mean those fighters, such as Castillo, could suddenly fight at WW a few months later and look just as ripped at the 147 weigh-in. Or does this mean Mayweather wasn't a real 130lb fighter back then since he was usually 8lbs smaller... No, You have to understand those fighters are cutting water-weight and hydrating back up, which is why they don't look ripped in the ring on fight-night.

Pacquiao, despite being only 3lbs bigger on paper, looks like a totally different fighter. He looks like a natural WW now. Those secret blends from Ariza are working very well!

Its not that complicated, he just isn't cutting any weight anymore, he is actually no bigger now than when he fought JMM at 130.

His body looked ripped then and it does now, he is physically a big LW who doesn't need to make weight at 147 which is close to what he walks around at and actually on FN weighs less than some LWs.

IMO he is actually less ripped due to not draining as much. As you can see in the JMM II fight his cheeks are sunken in and you see every muscle in his body. I remember watching Cotto weigh in and noticing the body fat difference.

Really?

Interesting.

It backs up my statement. He looks just as ripped. No sign of fat at all, and he's 12lbs bigger in the second picture. It appears to be pure muscle. He was 130 in pic 1 and 142 in pic 2.

He's going to be even bigger in this fight against Clottey. According to Ariza, Pacquiao is going to be bigger than he's ever been in the ring. Maybe he added another special secret ingredient to his special blends.

I heard there's no drug testing at all in Texas.

If you have watched Pac, then you'll know that he actually is less ripped.

LOL no sign of fat? look at his abs, look at his cheeks, he is obviously less dehydrated and has higher body fat during Cotto weigh ins. Do you know how much bigger someone looks if they gain 12 pounds of solid muscle?!?
