    I mean, we didn't have to witness the likes of Chris Byrd insisting that Wlad Klitschko loose 3,4,5,10, 11lbs, a stone in weight just to make a fukin fight.

    Or Evander Holyfield tellin Lewis ''You'll you'll get ya shot as soon as you shift 10lbs in weight because OMG your so much heavier than me''!!



    Catch Weights are undeniably Gay.

    There are enough lower-weight class-divisions to make ANY transistion (south of Light-Heavyweight) a ''fair'' one.
    The thing is though mate, if you have no excess body fat, how can you lose even 3 pounds? Either lose Muscle tissue or dehydrate, neither of which are good. Look at Frankle Gavin, the Geezer missed the Olympics because he simply could not shed a single ounce more from his body

    H I think you missed the point there. Boogie is agreeing with you by saying Pacquiao should put on the 3lbs, not that Cotto should lose them.

    Exactly you are right mate theres big difference losing body-fat. I got to about 8 percent body fat, and if i would of lost anymore weight i would of been noticably weaker.

    And especially because boxers have much lower body-fat percentage than most normal people. I mean take an average guy he probably is what 15 percent bodyfat ?

    So he could lose 3 pounds no problem because he's body-fat is higher, then get an athlete or in this case a boxer. Who is lets say 7 percent body-fat.

    Which is a low percentage which takes extreme training, and dieting to get that low. I don't think he could really lose any weight without being weaker.

    I mean just for your ab's to show some definition, you have to be 10 percent body-fat. And that isn't even that easy, so try and get even lower which alot of athlete's do. And then when you reach your limit.

    Try and lose weight its not as easy as people think. Even if its just a couple of pounds.

    Read the post I quoted on And you will see why I thought you were talking about weight loss - It's the only post I read and it only talks about Loss not gain, so pretty easy for me to misunderstand

    It really depends on fighter's gene and past history. Mosley is a young 37 years old, and Cotto is an old 28 year old. You can also make the same case with other numerous fighters like B-Hop or Morales when he was 30. Donaire fought as high as 122 but he won his title 10 pounds below that. And recently Viloria had to go down 3 pounds to win his first title.
