How far north of their fight night weight does the average boxer walk around??

[Hype job]

List some famous boxers, on average how much heavier than their FN weight do they walk around at. We know some guys stay close to it like Floyd/Manny/Marquez/Hopkins..

[lightsout15]

10-20 lbs for most boxers. Mma guys cut way more weight, 30-40 lbs. That one guy in ufc almost died just recently, trying to cut weight for a title fight.

[Left Hook Tua]

fight night weight is usually around 15 lbs higher than weigh in weight.

maybe lose another 15 lbs. in camp.

so probably 30 lbs. above division limit.

so a normal WW probably walks around 170-180.

a normal LW probably walks around 160-170.

With the diuretics these guys are using these days, the cuts are pretty extreme.

25 + lbs is pretty much normal now IMO, I think there's guys clearly cutting 30+.

yeah, weight cutting massive amounts of weight is prevelant in UFC and these guys never gas. Something is fishy there, in boxing guys will make a big deal about a few pounds, but some UFC fighter cut 40 pounds in a few days or something extreme like that and he still won.

But they used IV's I don't know how they can do that without passing out.

This is an example of what happens to UFC fighters who walk 30 pounds heavier than what they fight at dude sapped all the fluids from his body and had no electrolytes he thought he could just lie in bed all day until weigh in and than drink some fluids to make weight and suffered a massive seizure

UFC fighters don't really have any negotiating power so they cant complan Abiut weight, and they have less weight classes so its only natural they have deep weight cuts.

But yeah drugs are probably more prevalent in UFC apthan any other sports organization in the country. UFC has there own nutrionist that basically hands out diuretics to all the top fighters, UFC even had there own Dr. Perscribing steroids for years.

They weren't even telling athletic commissions About it.

But make no mistake about it, boxers are doing this **** too.

[boliodogs]

I don't know their walking around weight and it will vary a lot from boxer to boxer. I am guessing a serious boxer who does things right would walk around 5 to 10 pounds more than their fight night weight. Mayweather and Pacquiao walked around at about the same as their fight night weight. You won't ever see a picture of them with any extra weight. Hatton sometimes walked around at maybe 40 pounds over his fight night weight. Bradley and Khan have both gotten very fat between fights. Every boxer is different.

[STAX ON DECK]

broner is at 152 right now,so only about 12lbs

legit work

Whats weird is UFC has such a high steroid and ped problem, its really bad, many of them get away with steroids and peds, those guys who cut weight probably use some type of ped to get their energy back I heard almost all the ones who cut deep weight used an IV backstage, thats how Chael Sonnen got away with doing so much peds.

Boxing has it but its not as prevelant recently the only ones who are using happen to be on TMT gym like Bey, and Lamont Peterson and Berto.

UFC fighters are poor compared to boxers yet they can afford peds, thats why I have a feeling UFC probably supplied them with some of this stuff because these UFC guys tend to get injured frequently peds helps them heal to avoid canceling fights.
