    I think I read that Golovkin walks around just a few pounds over

      I thought Froch cuts down from 180?

      Cotto is close to his weight for sure he weighs only 165ish walking around which is what he weighed at 140 when he drained himself.

      Golovkin also walks around near his weight, people don't realize GGG is not a huge 160 pounder, he has no business at 168 or 175 since he only walks around at 170.

        Any fighter that can make the weight limit is fighting in their real weight class. The rules state that as long as they make weight they are permitted to fight there.

          I think he is referring to their walk around natural weight.

            Look at him in the Maidana fight, he looked just as big as Maidana on fight night, yet Showtime had him weighing 148. Look at his abs at the weigh in for that fight and then look at them during the fight. He put on a considerable amount of weight.

            The guy couldn't even make 144 against Marquez and he tries convincing people he's some tiny welterweight.
            Just because you choose not to give him props doesn't mean everyone else has to. If people believe it let them.

                True, but i meant more of fighters naturally weighing around the weight they fight in without having to severely cut weight and diet. For example Floyd and Pac you see in the 24/7's or youtube clips eating large meals and not having to suffer. While someone like Chavez jr. or Rios making weight but grantee its a b*tch to come down.

                  Nah, I'd rather inform the people he's misguiding and lying to.





                  Look at the difference in the abs. You think he only put on a couple of pounds after the weigh in?

                    I honestly don't really care. If he says that's what he weights then that's ok with me. It's actually not that critical or important to try and discredit him. You made a couple posts as if it is was something real important to tell others "oh man Floyd lying". Everyone else mentioned in this thread is ok but Floyd HAS to be the one lying. What's next to nitpick about? His name not REALLY Floyd Mayweather?

                      Didn't Floyd come in lighter on fight night than the weigh-in for one fight? or was that DLH?
