Could well of been Edwin Rodriguez though I may of got the numbers slightly off that or he blew up even more another time.

Slightly off topic, but i read about a UFC fight once featuring Thiago Alves.

''Thiago Alves came in at 170.5 on the scale for his fight tonight against Martin Kampmann at UFC on FX2. The incredible and possibly Guinness World Records worthy part of this whole tale about how much a man weighs is this: According to Alves' nutritional adviser Mike Dolce, Thiago regained nearly thirty pounds in three hours. There is even a picture of feet on a scale and everything to prove it.''



I don't recall the fight, so don't know the ins and outs. Or if it was true or just a story from their fight camp. Pretty crazy though.

Khan said you got your numbers mixed up. He said Canelo was 274 lbs! Lmao

Khan is numerically dyslexic, he meant 427 lbs.

"I climb into the ring at whatever weight that's going to give me the win, whether it's 180 or 190 pounds - if I think it's the appropriate [weight] for me on the day of the fight.

Canelo.

At middleweight cutting 25-30 lbs and regain most of it come fight night is Kindergarten
Chavez jr, Abraham, Canela, Jacobs and so on
There are many size cheats using high dosages of bloating gear then diuretics then IVs
That's why the 24hr weigh in rule was made for, fighters should not kill each other

Winky Wright was bad for it too

James Toney put on about 20 lbs when he fought Ernest mateen. That was not too long after everyone was surprised he put on 17 lbs for the RJJ fight

I don’t know how much Gerald McClellan put on overnight but I’m sure it was a lot. Michael Moorer too.

I remember reading reports that Canelo weighted in at 185lbs come fight night with Golovkin.

It kinda feels like he is exploiting the whole weight gain thing.

Any other specific examples of fighters who came in ridiculously heavy on fight night? What are your thoughts?

Gatti vs Gamache he was 159 after weighin 140 and nearly killed the guy.Never(and ive been watching boxing looooong time)have I seen a guy get hit with a 3punch combo that ALL were thrown hard as poss and ALL land so clear.No time for ref to do anything but he hit him full force with all 3 and was out after 1st.Cooney v Norton Mercer v Morrison even Griffen v Paret the ref fell asleep this was just a 3 pnh combo that landed brutal.
