A 4 division champ in the pros is when you go up 10 lbs in weight?

So Estrada coming down from 112 to 108 to fight Gonzalez would be comparable to what?

That's like Joshua going down to 147 to fight Khan after the dispute regarding Khan's wife.

How is 112-115 (3lbs) the same as 168-175 (7lbs) But 108-112 (4lbs) the same as 135-140 (5 lbs)? Maybe I'm not understanding the math you're using?

I don't think you'll get a reply on this one

Stop ignoring the facts, he's not putting on that weight, he's just cutting 3 pounds less. And for the record 3 pounds is like 2% for somebody that weighs 130.

Or maybe he was still at an age where his body was still growing.

122.8lbs 30 days before the 112lb fight vs Arroyo, he's shown wearing some type of suit to help cut weight too. Arroyo 120.2lbs.

The weight difference is a percentage of bodyweight.

The math is simple.

For example to find the difference between going 112->108

Divide 108 by 112. You get 0.964

Then you can multiply any weight class by 0.964 to see what the equivalent weight difference would be.

140 * 0.964 = 134.96

160 * 0.964 = 154.24

168 / 175 = 0.96

135 * 0.96 = 130

See the pattern? Each weight class on average is an increase of 4% in body weight over the previous weight class.

Ok I get it. Thanks

He probably lost 10 pounds of water that day too.
