Well "natural" might be a misnomer. Common sense it means you don't have to drain to make weight, but in boxing terms it's like the opposite, usually means you're big at the weight without sacrificing much effectiveness (stamina, chin, etc).
Rigo is awesome at 122, but he's smaller than most guys there and could have started lower if he wasn't so used to the amateur same day weighin regimeComment

That's a good point, I'll problably always think just fight at the real weight let's say Cotto-Pacquiao was in no way affected by the 2 pounds Pacquiao put himself in the situation where I have to question it. I don't even count JMM for Floyd so I'm not biased.You gotta have a sense of proportion. Pac had won belts in a record 6 divisions before asking for his first CW. Most everyone else is asking for CWs much earlier, including fan favorites like Mares, PWill, Cotto, JMM, and now Rigo.
Did you know Vic Ortiz has 0 top ten wins at a regulation weight, at 140 or 147? He's 1-1-3 against top level comp, with his only win coming at a catchweight.Comment
