      canelo must have to do a lot to shrink down to 154/155 and then still be sharp on the night with an extra 20lb. The numbers are pretty crazy, can anyone here comprehend themselves adding 20lb over night, what you must have had to strip away to get there.

      I doubt you'd see canelo bothering with any ibf routes that require second day 10lb max rehydration. must just have very good genes for it

        Hopkins beat DLH at 157, I think he might've been able to drop down to 154 beat a champion there. Maybe, that's the only guy that comes to mind.

          So how come when asked if he can make 147 again he instantly said yes?

          He looked in great shape at 146. Weighed 148 2 days before the weigh in.

          That's not a drained fighter.

          Stop with the excuses.

                      These guys are shedding a ton of weight and still dominating. BTW, funny how, when a big guy sheds weight and fights smaller guys, he's a bully. When he does it and loses, he was "drained".
