    I remember seeing a picture of I think Sandy Saddler, who was a Featherweight, he looked like he weighed about 190!! An remember in the 40's, they weighed in like 5 hours before the fight, so they couldn't dehydrate as much.

    I want to find that picture again, cause it seriously looked like Vitali Klitschko was in the ring with Mickey Ward.

      Fernando Vargas at Jr.Middle....he usually enters the ring at 165-170, this is one guy who truly has to kill himself to make weight. To bad he doesn't have a Middleweight chin, at least not anymore after the DLH and Trinidad beatings, but he does have Middleweight power.

      I too, wonder how Hopkins makes weight as well. Sure he comes in at or below the 160lb weight limit, but he's comes in at around 175 on fight night [his lightest weight ever was the 169lbs vs. DLH]. Just look at him in the weigh-ins, he looks like a damn skeleton, then he steps into the ring the next day looking like a bodybuilder.

      Tarver - This guy walks around at 220lbs and shrinks himself down to 175 on his 6-foot-2 frame.

      Tzysu & Cotto - two 140pounders who step into the ring at 154-155lbs and completely overpower their opponents. Cotto also looks like a skeleton come weigh-in time.

      Mayorga @ 147 - I for one do not believe he should campaign at welterweight anymore, for someone who walks around at 175-180, this would be too much strain on him. 154 would be a good weight for him. Even middlewight isn't out of the question if he ever develops a semblence of defense and boxing skills. He had the power to hurt Trinidad.

      Diego Coralles - a 5'11" lightweight. Bigger than DLH was during his lightweight days. He'll move up in time, I sure.
