How Do We Compare OUR Weigh Ins to UFC Weigh Ins?

For example, Cotto and Alvarez look thin at 155, yet still look healthy and both are bigger framed come fight night of course...



But then we got a guy like Conor who in 2014 looks like today here:



But then in Jan of 2015 he looks like this against Silver..



to this against Aldo in Q4 of 2015:

Damn he looks like a skeleton in 2015. If he looks anything like that fight night floyd definitely knocks him out in 3 or less

Boxing requires more endurance over a longer period of time. Size matters more so in MMA than boxing. Guys in boxing won't cut 25+ pounds. It'll wreck their endurance. In MMA you have more variables to control the fight and not exhaust yourself. It's more of a sprint, slow down etc. Where boxing is constant.

This is Conor against Silver at 145... Isn't safe to say that Conor could not have fought at 147 Welter against Floyd?

Conor probably is doing less weight training, more cardio, and simplified his diet. He was walking around 172, and if he loses 7-10 lbs he can easily make the cut. He's a long guy, he isn't very dense.

this is Conor at 154.5 under UFC testing... I couldn'T find reports about USADA and McGregor vs Alvarez as much as Mayweather vs McGregor
