All they doing is not drying out and they are training through camp at a higher weight , its easier for them because they dont have to stay on edge to make their lightest weight , you kids make laugh how you hang onto numbers but you dont understand what the mechanics of the numbers are , you got to understand the weigh-in weight and fight night weight , and how can be manipulated and how it can help you or ruin you , its not just numbers .
4 pd at weigh-in to a SMW is like 8 pd to a WW , Ward with a 164 CW against such a smaller fighter and being as elite as he is it would add up to much For Floyd with Ward being 175-185 on the night , there would be near a 30 lb on the night difference .
Now change it a little its a 158 CW and Ward weighed 160 , Ward would come in around 165-170 , because his to make 160 body does not have the mass to get the water back into , go look that HW that went down to 175 , forget his name , look at Oscar another case , weight in boxing has laws that control it , the numbers must be clearly defined for sound reasons other wise your fighter is gunna get belted just like Oscar did , going up in weight will never hurt you , even Roach didnt understand that when he said JMM will be slower and forced to slug , kinda back fired on Freddie there , he out smarted himself and should have learnt after Bradley , coming up dont weaken them .
