Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Kell Brook to make welterweight has to be one of the biggest I know if what the Ingle's and Hearn say about his walk around weight correct.
Bellew making Light-Heavyweight was also a ridiculously big cut, I also heard George Groves starts his training camp north of 200lbs.
Anyone know of any other British fighters who make massive weight cuts,to get into their weight category?

Naz, for the Paralympics.
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Quigg always looks huge at SBW. Flanagan has always struck me as a big lightweight. Not sure on the numbers though.

I wonder how much water these guys are taking off there bodies, Tyrone Nurse is one that strikes me as someone who must really struggle to make lww aswell as Skeete at WW.
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
effing ridiculous that bellew and brook should be cutting large amounts of weight, bellew got a fairly slim frame so if he wasnt such a greedy fecker he could make LH fine, as for brook unfortunately for him his trainer thinks bodybuilding and boxing go hand in hand which they dontFitzy901 wrote:Kell Brook to make welterweight has to be one of the biggest I know if what the Ingle's and Hearn say about his walk around weight correct.

I deffo agree with your comment on Dominic ingle, but Bellew walks around at well over 15 stone mate. making 12 stone 7 must of killed him and his head looked too big for his body when he was boxing at lhw.

Anthony Yarde! How the fornicate does he do light heavy?!

I am not just saying this mate, but my good mate trains in the same gym as him (peacock) and apparently he admitted himself he can make super-middle but cant be bothered lol

Skeete said before he does the weight quite easy and don't think he puts much on in between fightsFitzy901 wrote:I wonder how much water these guys are taking off there bodies, Tyrone Nurse is one that strikes me as someone who must really struggle to make lww aswell as Skeete at WW.
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Don't really follow him but Lee Selby seems huge for his weight class.
I watched a bit of Bellew vs Chilemba before Chilemba fought Kovalev and couldn't believe how emanciated he was at LHW. The jump between LHW and cruiser is pretty big though, so he goes from looking like that to being fleshy at the weight and cutting ten pounds nice and easy.

I thought he looked proper dry in the run up to the Eggington fight.
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Ricky Hatton had to cut massive amounts of weight in his Boxing days from what I could tell. If I had to guess he was dropped from at least 180 back to 140 in between almost every fight, and there were probably fights when he was coming from 200 or more back down to 140 or 147.
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
But that was because he was fat. It wasn't that he was trying to drain a naturally big guy into a weight class that wasn't natural to him. Hatton was a big LWW, but a small WW. A true drainer is somebody who should be fighting at least a weight class above but somehow boils himself down to have advantages over little guys.gilgamesh wrote:Ricky Hatton had to cut massive amounts of weight in his Boxing days from what I could tell.

Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Scott Harrison. I reckon he'd put on in the region of 2sts between the weigh in and the fight. A lot for a small man.
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
IFL interview with Peter McDonagh this week where he said Brook was 15.5 stone not long after one of his recent fights 
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Lee Selby never looks good on the scales but performs the next day. heard numerous people say how big he is in the gym and they can't believe he makes 9stone.
Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
Chris Eubank used to have cut loads.

Do they say how big exactly, I saw someone say he walks around ten stone in a newspaper but I don't believe it is that little to be honest.

Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
I've seen Selby walking around a few times as we're from a similar area - 10 stone doesn't sound too far off tbh.Fitzy901 wrote:maley1984 wrote:Lee Selby never looks good on the scales but performs the next day. heard numerous people say how big he is in the gym and they can't believe he makes 9stone.

Re: Biggest weight cutter's in British Boxing.
What about Martin Murray?
I don't know his walking weight, but he looks huge & it wouldn't surprise me if he had to cut loads of weight.

They didn't know his exact weight but they were sparring in the gym he was in and it shocked them how big he was.
