I was wondering about this for a while. What's the most amount of weight you know of where a fighter rehydrated between the weigh in and the fight. And list any fights just so I can have them on record .

Daniel Geale 157 to 182 (confirmed in clothes)
Brandon Rios 147 to 170
Peter Quillin 160 to 182
Lamont Peterson 143 to 165 (confirmed in clothes)
Ricardo Alvarez 135 to 156[SUP]1/2[/SUP]
Francisco Santana 146.5 to 167
Alfredo Angulo 153.5 to 174
Felix Diaz 140 to 161
Chavez 160 to 180
John Molina 140 to 160 (confirmed with clothes)
Omar Figueroa 134 [SUP]3/4[/SUP] to 154
J'Leon Love 160 to 179 (w/ diuretics)
Clottey 151 to 170
Gatti 141 to 160
Matthysse 139 to 158
Johan Perez 140 to 159
Robert Easter Jr 134 to 153
Nicholas Walters 127 to 145

Matthysse 140 to 160 for the Mike Dallas fight recently.

Didn't Cotto come in at 161 in one of his last fights at light welterweight?

Equals Rios. 21lbs in a day is ridiculous.

 

[Wallet]

I remember reading that Mthalane put on ridiculous amounts for the Sarritzu fight. He was above the super feather limit on fight night if I remember correctly.

 

[anklespanker756]

I did pretty well after the Bute weigh in. 10 pints of Carlsberg and a dirty chicken Kebab for dessert. +18lbs.

I think that Chávez Jr. put on 21.5 lbs vs Rubio (159.5 to 181?), not 100% sure.

Matthysse 140 to 160 for the Mike Dallas fight recently.

They said 163, but it was a typo or whatever, it must have been 153. 163 doesn't make any sense at all as his weight has often been the low-150s on the night.

Cázares in the first fight vs Calderón put on about 20lbs if I remember correctly. And that's a lot more as a percentage, taking into account that that fight took place at light-flyweight.

Even taking into account clothing, waste etc. I still don't see how it's possible to put on 15lbs in 30 hours without cheating. Obviously it's the body retaining water that you drink afterwards, but that's like seven litres of water.

Ahh ok (shocking memory) yeah 163 seems unlikely.

Would be interesting to know what Chris Eubanks fight night weights were.

 

[Bryn]

The Rios one is mad considering that as a percentage. The dude looks like shit at weigh ins.

He looked like death before the Murray fight.

I was thinking of Clottey but Rios blows him out of the water.

Great shout, I remember seeing a Eubank interview where he said he was going into the ring a cruiser...

 

[Batkilt]

Did Donaire not come in closer to 135 for the Montiel fight?

 

[BUMPY]

Doesn't surprise me at all.

 

[Noonaldinho]

Hearns used to look huge on fight night

 

[PHONK]

Rios looked like death warmed up during the Murray weigh in. Even then he came in a couple of pounds over the limit. He was killing himself to make 135

 

[Vano-irons]

Matthysse 140 to 160 for the Mike Dallas fight recently.

That was down to a problem with the scales. It was cleared up a few days later

Yeah already been corrected on that one, didn't realise that it had been officially cleared up though.

 

[JamieC]

Rumours around Chavez Jr on the Martinez fight, he looked fucking massive, biggest I'd ever seen him and he refused to be weighed on fight night so that must be some indication he'd put on a record amount, wouldnt be surprised if he was 185

 

[w;dkm ckeqfjq c]

Christ, imagine how big Rios would have looked next to gamboa.

 

[Ishy]

Don't have any actual weights but surely Gatti has got to be mentioned. He used to pile on a lot of pounds post weigh-in.
