Comments Thread For: Manager: Jacobs Was 172, 173 Against Arias; Jackson a Bitter Man!

The whole weight classes issue in combat sports is a farce, everyone knows it and nobody cares. What is the point of having a weight class when a boxer doesn't fight within it? You train and fight at a higher weight category, but to belong to a lower weight class all you need to do is to weigh in at the lower class upper level just to balloon up again right after you've stepped off the scale. This is ludicrous.

172 173? idk man Danny is a big guy, he's got a large frame and pretty jacked. Im 5`9" 170 with hardly an once of fat on me and I'd bet i'd look small as **** next to danny lol. On fight night Dannys gotta weigh somewhere in the low 180s. Not that it matters anyways Danny was levels above Arias regardless.

There is a thing called bone density that maybe you should consider.

so Jacobs was the same weight as Golovkin when he fought Rubio...

[b00g13man]

Doesn't matter what weight he was as long as he made the weight......end of Jackson!

Basically. Don't understand why people are crying about it.

Jacobs wasn't as big for Arias as he was for GGG. He's 100% vegan now, even between camps, and that's helping him keep his weight down.

How do you know? He never weighed-in on fight day for either GGG or Arias.

He looked the same to me, definitely bigger than 172/3, closer to 180 IMO.

he could weigh 500 pounds on fight night, if he makes the contracted weight the day before. fight night weights seem to be a trending obsession these days

Golovkin would have knocked Arias out. Jacobs couldn't even drop him.

[Squ□redCircle34]

No way, more like 175 or 180 on fight nite!

Jacobs looked a grown man fighting a high schooler!

Arias had to be like 167 or 169...tops!

Modern culture of excuse making

Lets get one thing straight! This talk I've been hearing in a number of threads about 190 pounds is pure ******ed. 2 cups of water equals 1 pound. 1 Cheeseburger equals 1 pound. So lets build a scenario of how this looks. 40 cups of water (20 pounds) and 10 Cheeseburgers (at 1 pound each) weigh a total of 30 pounds. No way in hell does a guy in one day drink 40 cups of water and eat 10 Cheeseburgers before round 1, period! And that's assuming he doesnt even use the restroom!!! If he has to piss and poop any of that water and food, then we are talking about loading up on 50-60 cups of water and 12-13 Cheeseburgers to reach a ring entrance weight of 190! No one can possibly drink that much water and eat that much food and gain that much weight in a day after a weigh in. Not to mention losing some weight from light exercise, warm ups, calorie burning in the day between the weigh in and round 1. This also proves that there is no way Canelo could have gained the type of weight people claim he did when entering the ring.

Arturo Gatti weighed in at !41lbs for his fight with Joe Gamache. A day later HBO weighed him at 160lbs for the fight. Some boxers just have the ability to make the weight and then gain an amazing amount of weight in 24 hours and still compete at a high level.
