Comments Thread For: LIVE STREAM: Canelo Alvarez vs. Liam Smith Weighin

[Hype job]

170 is not muscle weight, it's rehydration weight.

I specifically talked about his inability to make 154 for his height, which should be easy af. He is broad yeah and that's a natural body shape, some people are just like that but a guy that short should be making 11 stones with ease. Do you realise how small 5'7'' is? I think thats the average height for women in the UK.

Yeah lol, he's 5'8 though, or 5'7 and a half.

when mayweathers taller than you, you know you're short lol

Seriously though, this is a major modern day problem where guys who could easily make other weights dont because of poor weight making and too many divisions. I guess thats a discussion for a different thread.

Yeah, these guys don't live that 24/7 gym rat life of fighters from the past. Back in the 80s they had same day weigh ins, they couldn't afford to balloon up so they had to stay in great shape year round.The only guys of our era that were true professionals in this regard that I can remember are Floyd, Pac, Hopkins, Wlad (heavyweight but kept his weight consistent) and Marquez, they also happen to be amongst the best of our era.

smith looks a lot bigger than Canelo, and Canelo is a huge light middle.

Smith doesn't look bigger than canelo though. His body frame is small canelo looks a lot bigger it's just Smith is a bit taller. Canelo isn't even a huge jmw, adrade both charlos and jrock are like 6ft+ jmw with a good size frame. I don't know how the they make jmw tbh.
