    What are you talking about you don't over hydrate, you hydrate back to what you were before the drying out process his ring weight is already set before the drying out to make weight starts, you cant go more than what you are, you don't half hydrate unless something is wrong like ODH fighting Manny where the body shut down and wont take back in the fluids from being to light.

      Which is why the "size advantage" bull**** that came out when he lost to Diaz was ridiculous. Those two are thw same size. Big units that cut to make 155.
      He's big, but he's not 'huge'. I get that you're preemptively exaggerating Conor's size to help dampen the image damaging effects for Floyd if Conor has his moments or looks good, but let's not exaggerate. He's a big guy, bigger than Floyd for sure, about the same size as Canelo and GGG, not bigger.

        Yeah he's about as big as them aka huge.

        He's heavier than them in the ring.

        Not saying it for any reason other than it being the truth. He said it himself; 170+ in the ring. That's huge.

          Connor is very long and wide for his weight a great build for a boxer, he is huge compared to Floyd, have a look at Connor talking with Kovalev on youtube he is nearly the same size standing beside him, yeah there is a lot of size difference in this.

          The stare downs were interesting Floyd head is tiny by comparison, Connors head is like a bull all bone and backstrap.

          There is no doubt Connor is a lot bigger than Floyd and will be very strong out the gate but Floyd has dealt with that his whole career.

            That catchweight of 152 certainly hurt him.
            Why and how did it hurt Alvarez? I didn't see him gas, get fatigued, lose his form, he definitely wasn't the smaller man that night. That fight had nothing to do with a catchweight, Alvarez just couldn't match Floyd skills!

              Gotta admit the sparring footage was interesting. Like a lot of people I was a little bit awed by that straight left hand McGregor planed into Paulie's face in the first part of the clip (not in the knockdown sequence).

              McGregor looks awkward and slow - but in a Steve Collins kind of way. Very similar to Collins actually. Which made me think about what Eubank said.. This has definitely been a prefight buildup of unique drama with many bizarre subplots.

              McGregor intelligently took credit for everything that's happened. He itemized every event that's gone viral.. Conor McGregor is incredibly bright. His intelligence might be the most impressive thing about him.. Too bad he's going to get embarrassed and destroyed.. He's hard not to admire..

              Here's that Eubank clip.

                Yeah, size is no issue.

                If anything he will just burn out faster.

                  Steve Collins is a million times better.

                  Where you honestly that shocked he landed on Pauli?

                  What shocked me was how slow he looked. He normally looks faster.

                    lol not shocked. Why were you shocked by how slow he looked in the ring? You saw the van Heerdan footage, yes?

                      True.

                      But when I watched his last 2 UFC fights he looked much faster.
