Did Alvarez-Jacobs prove the weight differences impact in boxing is overrated?

[MartialMind]

If Jacobs really did weigh almost 20 lbs more than Canelo on fight night and still lost does this prove that minor or perhaps even major weight difference between fighters are overrated?

Boxing is sometimes criticized for having different belts every 5 lbs, so is this all for show then, in that weight impact is overstated?

The DAZN announcers said they estimated Jacobs was in the 180's range during the actual fight.

How much do you think Canelo was then?

[Vlad_]

No. But GGG did prove it when he knocked Jacobs on his ass.

[DaNeutral.]

Canelo was 206, dont believe Golden Boys scales they tell you what GBP want you to hear. I hear those scales take mexican batteries. PEDS.

Fighters don't put on more than 18-20 pounds. That's the human limit. At most he was 180 and canelo at minimum 175. I believe both were pretty close.

[KO MX]

Jacobs was 186 lbs and Canelo 175 according to ESPN deportes

I have never seen a fighter rehydrate more than 20 pounds EVER and those are very extreme cases. I call that B S.

When fighters gave the fight night weight, no one ever weighed more than 20 pounds... Not humanly possible.

[The tucker]

Jacobs looked dry and flat and some spots. He was even throwing arm punches early in the fight.

Even Hearns his promoter said it looked like Jacobs put too much on too fast and looked bulky and should move up to 168.

That’s because you haven’t seen many fights.
