List of Fighters That Get Stronger As They Go Up In Weight

[iPhoneKiller]

Don't forget Diaz @135 & Hatton @140

Sorry I meant to add hatton already and that made it 50%, but if u add Diaz at 135 then jmm at 130 it remains 50%

PAC lands more punches at the higher weights too, so I don't see how he is a 1 punch ko'er

I wouldn't say DLH was getting "dropped" as you put it plurally. Maybe once, but not like that.

Paz was caught using steriods (maybe explaining the weight gain) + Paz wasn't KOing guys. I understand Paz had that bad car accident, maybe that explains the use of roids. But either way, some question whether or not he put that weight on naturally...

I don't remember Archie Moore starting at 147lb. I'll have to research that, but for now I'll take your word for it.

Not sure if E Charles's KO % increased as he went up in weight... I'll have to research it if someone doesn't beat me to it first.....

He got dropped twice, once against Narciso Valenzuela who had lost 4 out of his last 5 fights, and then was dropped against an unranked Giorgio Campanella in a title fight. not a ton, but, it definitely didnt reflect how good his chin was for the rest of his career. listen to old commentary of his, people had questions about his chin for a while.

Moore did start at 147lbs, or at least 148lbs.

didnt know about Pazienza and the roids. when was he caught?

so now he takes on weak competition as he moves up, yet he is getting stronger... that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. How can you possibly tell if he is getting stronger if he is facing "weak" competetion?

Quote me where I said Pacquiao got stronger. I'll wait.

I've pretty much stayed consistent with "Pacquiao has kept his power" throughout the whole thread. So don't put my words in my mouth.

Pacquiao has kept it from 106-150.

Pac went from 106 to 150 while keeping his power.

But coming from 106 and knocking out much bigger B and C fighters is still pretty weird.

Don't see any where that I said "Pacquiao got stronger".

Pac only has 1 or 2 fights where he has KO'd a guy with one punch.

So he doesn't have 1 punch KO power. I don't know where people get that from.

Also, I don't know how much PED's really helped Shane out. He looked diminished more than anything.

Pac, Martinez, Mayweather, RJJ, DLH, Calzaghe

It was after his car accident. He broke his neck. I think it was before or after the Jones fight...

[SplitSecond]

explosive fighters can put on plenty of weight and keep or even increase power
stamina issues usually arise tho

It was roids?

Athletes often use HGH to get faster recovery on an injury. So if he broke his neck, he could have taken HGH if he had a surgery. HGH is a PED, but you know when an athlete gets caught using PED's, fans don't even bother looking in to what they were taking and just label it as steroids. Some of the most harmless drugs that won't even enhance your performance or banned[HGH will enhance your performance]. But things like diuretics like Chavez Jr and Guzman was caught using, that has no effect on your performance in the ring. But I don't know what Paz was caught using, just wondering if you know?
