Even if a fighter needs 2 or 3 attempts to make weight...

It is a big deal because Davis was too fat and lazy to make weight consistently at 130 and now we know he’ll likely be too fat and lazy to make weight consistently at 135.

Boxing Is Great as a fan, aren't you even slightly concerned about Davis's continued struggles with the scales?
Personally, I think the guy is very talented but this weight thing has been going on for some time and has followed him into a new weight class which is unusual.
No one wants to be looking back saying "if only".

Thanks for the question. I'm not concerned much, because I know why he's been distracted. He has had a lot of personal, family issues for a little over a year. That's why you see him have his daughter close to him all the time now. I think he'll settle down at 135 or around it.

Thanks for the insight. Hopefully his personal troubles are behind him and he can mix it up with Lopez, Lomachenko et al.

He still made weight in my opinion. I dont see a big deal. Your thoughts?

... if it's not a big deal, why do you still ask for other people thoughts?...

making weight is overrated anyway. always has been. always will be. just fill yourself with iv fluid after the weigh in.

Have about 10 wanks before the weigh in that will lose some extra pounds

Christ some of these lads are inept

It’s unprofessional and more so for a guy mixing up who is in an article here posted this week saying this camp was easy. He also arrived two hours late and thus ended up getting three hours to lose the weight in total.

I’m with you. If there’s a scheduled time to weigh in then u need to be there. If u miss weight then u should get the 1hr or whatever is standard for the commission. If u are allowed to come back two hours later instead of the 1hr that’s been the rule for everyone else hen that’s a joke. If a fighter misses weight I’m all for the teams to come to an agreement if they can continue the fight. But if Tank couldn’t make the weight in the standard time as set by the rules then he has to forfeit sum of his purse if that’s in the rules. Junior just lost a million dollars. I know the commission gets extra fees for the title being on the line so maybe that’s part of this scenario. But if Tank is supposed to give up a portion of the purse for not making weight be it coming in late in the first place or not making it within an hour after his try then Gamboa is getting screwed out of big money. U can’t expect one fighter to show up on time and have to stand there dehydrated until the other guy actually shows up.

It is a big deal, no point in trying to sugar coat or downplay it. He has done this historically. It also tells us the sort of lifestyle he has been living, and how he would be in the future if this isn’t touched on.

You see all the little signs beforehand, some acknowledged it and try to deal with it, others would claim it’s NOT a big deal etc and that would make the boxer feel like meh no biggy.

We saw this with Broner, we saw this with spence when he went through a quiet shy talker, into getting drunk and looking worse every time he gets interviewed.... But nah it’s “He is just living his life” “Can’t they just enjoy a little” etc

You enable all of this stuffs and two years down the line you would jump onto another boxers bandwagon.

Fact is, in Tank Davis case it is a big deal for someone that wants to be a star. A star in name isn’t the same as a star in reality.

[Clegg]

It's not a big deal but it makes me question his dedication. As Ray said above, we saw how not living right affected Broner and Spence. I sense that Tank listens to about 10% of Floyd's advice, if that

[DaNeutral.]

LOL why are Tank fans trying to brush this over like its nothing? Tanks looked fat all week. I saw this coming. He made weight, eventually, the fight goes ahead as it should, eventually. But Tank not making weight shows us a lack of discapline in the training camp and fights can be won or lost in a training camp. Also there is no doubt Tank would of been weighed by his own guys every day this week so Tank will of secretly been working on dropping that weight all week when he should be doing other things. Its just a really good job Floyd and the PBC have organized another cherry for him rather than a real test.

But im a known PBC hater. After looking, observing, watching the weigh in im sure he didnt make weight anyway. They LIED. In the end, on his 3rd attempt he was mighty close to weight but he still didnt make it but they let it slide. Being that hater nobody will believe me but thats what happned.
