Understanding weight. 154, 155, 157....

[Dr Rumack]

GSP explains it very well here.

Go to 4.45




Your body doesn't react the same way when it's heavier. When everything is about split-seconds then that's something you have to take seriously.

Because most fighters are weight bullies. Fighting nowhere near their walk around weight. I'd say Floyd, Pac, GGG, Ward, Kovalev fight near their walk around weight. I've never seen these guys looking fat when they don't have a fight scheduled. Bradley comes into a fight in great shape but even her gets fat when he's not training

Well, you're willing to go to 154 if you have the advantage and 164 when you have the advantage. But you won't go to 155 for certain fighters or 168 for other certain fighters because you will lose and the media creation is over.


That's how it works. All the whilst it's called trying to unify the MW titles, you know, "integrity."

Also if you can beg you way into a fight with Cotto or Hopkins in the meantime, so be it.

A lot of casual fans trying to be be or think like a purist hardly ever talks about in ring tactics and analytics. I love it when posters talk details be it rounds, the seconds, the defense, the offense, etc..

The boring is just ''oh he's just scared or blah blah'' as it relates to the fear of the real life from these posters...

Talking empirically about fights is best, and I don't mean the result or the record, but details of what happened in the ring, the round, and the time, and the strategy.

I blame myself. I should be editing more videos on comparisons. I should be doing a split screen analysis of theoritical fights.. My hard drive died months ago and since then I felt bummed out to start anything fresh. had lots of saved media on it for upcoming videos.

Canelo is likely naturally bigger than GGG. Just an observation.

Absolutely. GGG puts on 7-11 pounds, something like that from weigh in to fight night. Candelita puts on 20 plus pounds coming into the ring weighing what a super middle weight might weigh.

I have zero doubt that he is substantially bigger than GGG on fight night. He looked like a giant compared to Cotto in the ring and Cotto is a legit 155 pound boxer.

Since when is 5 a "few"?

People went crazy over Pac vs Cotto 145 CW. That's two pounds. 5 pounds is crazy, it's one pound away from being an entirely different weight class.

It would be one thing if Canelo was asking 157, 158, but his current demand is absurd.
