Comments Thread For: Jackson: Jacobs Was a Cruiserweight, Had an 'Unfair Advantage'

[////]

You guys asking for same day weights forget why they were banned to begin with. Guys who waited until the fight to rehydrate then collapsed and died.

We need a multi-tier system based on variation rather than bodyweight. There should be a 2 day, 24 hour then fight night weigh in and each division has a maximum amount a fighter can go up and down over that period without being DQ'd for endangering their own health.

10 pounds to the little guys from WW down is a lot, 10 pounds to MWs and above is nothing, Floyd and Manny were giving up 20+ pounds away in some fights.

Jackson is always looking for an excuse......never the truth

[Mammoth]

You got guys at 140 who show up fight night at 160. I don't know why Jacobs makes everybody cry so hard.

I wonder how many of these Snowflake Fan Boys will post "STOP MAKING EXCUSES" posts after Loma beats Rigo...

My guess is that Rigo fan boys and anti-White racist Loma haters will turn into John David Jackson on December 10th...

Screen shot their posts on here today to remind them of their hypocrisy.

Of course Jacobs looked bigger - he was taller and Arias keep fighting all squatted down like he was trying to touch his chin to his knees. Maybe Arias should try to drop 6 pounds and fight at junior middleweight then.

No. He did not look bigger because arias was “squating”
He looked bigger because he’s taller AND his calves, quads, chest,arms,shoulders, back, traps & neck are bigger then Arias’s. If I spent more time on boxing forums instead of real boxing gyms (which I don’t and never will) I’d give you a bad rating or bad rep or whatever you computer warriors call it for such a ****** cmoment. Jacobs dehydrates about 20 pounds to make 160. He enters the ring weighing what a cruiser weight does (anything over 175 pounds).
I’m a big Jacobs fan, great guy, great fighter... but call a spade a spade.

I'm all for same day weigh ins, but this is just an excuse.

180-185 is pure speculation on Jackson's part. No way to tell.

plus, it's a weak excuse..... who fkn cares?

if the bigger middleweights are too big for Arias he needs to move down

[Binomial]

Doesn't matter, he out boxed him for 12 rounds
