You boys aren't getting my point at all. If you fight at 147 and make it easily then you move up and weight in at 160 on the scale your a middle weight but not a proven fighter at that weight. My understanding about McGregor was that Diaz was a late sub who was supposed to come in above where McGregor was contracted to fight and then went up from there two spots! So McGregor said fine I'll add some pounds and lets do it. Well his power didn't translate moving up!
Hagler at 160 was not a big one punch man so going 15lbs. above his weighin weight would have been a ****** move! Spinks at that time was making 175 with a lot of effort and was at 190 come fight night. Hagler moving to 175 a full 15 above an easy 160 then meets bell time and your in with 190? Are you ****** to accept that? Yes you are!
I'm not a fan of anyone! I am a former trainer & gym owner and a life time boxing fan, of the sport! I don't care for Connor or Mayweather they act like fools to me and the generational differences are huge! I'm from the era when you had real boxing sports writers who wrote about coming fights and they did the promo & hype. Today the fighters can't speak without acting out like "hood ****" so they get nothing from espn or any other sports outlet on tv without having to pay for it! If you can't speak with sense and need to say "man" every other word while talking to a female reporter who the hell wants to listen to an illiterate moron!
This is the era following Tyson so everyone wants to talk tough but fight soft!
You didn't hear Louis or Robinson say anything about their opponents other than they better be ready! Ali talked crap to promote and did get insulting but didn't cuss every other word so the media had no problem covering him.
Mayweather, Broner, McGregor, Fury all have to degrade, they need to belittle their opponents if thats the way you feel about them why the hell are you competing against if they garbage?
I really don't care about these individuals, I'll watch Roman. GGG, Lomo and Koval or Ward because you don't get the ****** act and tough guy BS!
