Impressions of a photographer who saw Canelo's weigh gain after the weigh in

[_Maxi]

No he wasn't he was 167 for Mosley and Mayweather, 165 for Hatton. Golovkin fans love to exaggerate so he doesn't look bad with his unwillingness to budge from 160. Claiming he'll fight anyone from 154-168 for years and then refusing to do it.

And he was 172 for Trout and 174 for angulo

At this whole topic and all the GGG fans in here. If he's 180+ on fight night he's to big for GGG, he's a small middleweight remember? So he should be fighting Chavez instead of GGG because they're closer in weight

Wake me up when Danny Garcia's father is fined for talking to his son between rounds, assh0le.

He didn't even make 154 vs Angulo. They had to throw him 100k because Canelo couldn't lose that extra pound.

I have a friend who works in the commission (wont mention his name for obvious reasons) and he told me Canelo was 193.5 the night of the Khan fight and 197.4 the night of the Cotto fight.

"Like when Vegeta first witnessed Zarbon's transformation." For any DBZ fan this was the funniest **** you'll read all week.

Alvarez gained 19 pounds after weigh in against angulo, and 18.5 pounds against Trout, and performed well in both fights.

So don't come here with that 10/15 pounds rule.

I don't think he gained weight to 180 after weigh in, but just wanted to post the opinion of the guy who actually works in boxing, and was shocked to see Canelo's transformation. He claimed he looked so huge compared to the day before that 180 didn't seem unreasonable. He's not affirming anything.

Will agree to disagree; north of 15lbs in a night, to me, is putting someone at risk for the situation to turn out badly (drained in the ring or sluggish for putting on too much weight).

Never been in a boxing locker room where they do the day-of weights, but rumor has it that those weights are nowhere near as formal as the "strip to your near skivvys" weights at the official weigh-in.

I'm going to assume this thread is some GGG fanboy propaganda.

As usual, tbh.

'Alvarez is this giant man, therefore he should have no issues agreeing to give Golovkin the full 160lbs (even though Alvarez has already shown that he can still make 154, and Golovkin and his camp have humg their hats on this nonsense about Golovkin being a small middleweight who could fight at 154)'

Love the DBZ comment

You're the one who looks like an idiot if you think a guy dropping 25lbs is impossible. Gatti used to make 140 and come into the ring at 165-170 all day long.

source please.
The most controversial weigh-in for Gatti was clearly the Joey Gamanche fight, where he "weighed in at 140lbs" (rumors abound that the scale was gimmicked to allow Gatti to actually weigh several pounds above that) and ended up weighing 160lbs, unofficially, on fight night.

If you have a fight where Gatti was actually rumored to have weighed in that high, the information would be greatly appreciated

If you actually read the post, rather than simply harp about the headline, you wouldn't have just played yourself.
