Amateurs don't blow up after the weigh in. I never said they did. I said they can cut SOME weight. But again that's not the point, refer to my previous post. I never said anything about natural vs walk around weight either. Like Hopkins did, GGG uses nutrition, discipline, and exercise to keep his weight lower than what it would be. That's very smart. My argument is that he could easily be a light heavyweight if he wanted and in fact would be if he did not take the measures to remain lighter.

Sure that's the case for anyone in boxing, but odd you'd wanna make an example of one of the lesser drainers. Hopkins himself used the same discipline to stay at Mw till 40 and kinda break the Mw defense record, which is now kinda in jeopardy. And he's naturally bigger than Ggg. Ward was growing into 175 while 186 fight night vs Barrera etcAmateurs don't blow up after the weigh in. I never said they did. I said they can cut SOME weight.

There was really no demand for Hopkins to move up. He had already fought Jones and lost. Jones was the king at 168 -175. There is demand for GGG to move up. No doubt Andre Ward is the bigger man, but he is not the harder puncher. So you will not see a mismatch like Brook vs GGG. Furthermore, some of Andre Ward's weight gain is due to his 2 year inactive period. He has had 2 fights at 175 and people are acting like he's been at light heavy his whole career. The weight class difference between them from a "natural" viewpoint is 1.Sure that's the case for anyone in boxing, but odd you'd wanna make an example of one of the lesser drainers.

Uh ok whatever. They're 15lbs apart fight night. First things first, let's see if Ward can get past Kovalev next and score his first quality win in many years, career best also.There was really no demand for Hopkins to move up.

GGG doesn't gain much weight because he has tiny flamingo legs.Amateurs don't blow up after the weigh in. I never said they did. I said they can cut SOME weight.
