• Less than two years ago Jared Anderson weighed 200lbs (a weight he’d competed at for three years, between 2016 and 2019). He wasn't a prepubescent child during this time period!
• Last April, both Jared Anderson and his trainer said they believed they were too heavy (when he weighed 235lbs) and was trying to get down to 220lbs.
• Instead of losing weight, six months later, he actually gained it. And now he’s a 250lb-er.
• If Anderson continues getting heavier, with his weight following its current trajectory, then his lack of discipline will prevent him from entering the ring in peak physical condition.

Jared Anderson and his trainer, Darrie Riley, obviously disagree with your opinion and share my concerns, because they have both admitted to wanting to compete weighing 220lbs rather than 250lbs.

Instead of ridiculing me, why don’t you instead mock Jared Anderson and his trainers’ own words?

You’re wrong on two fronts. In the RingTV article you’re referencing, Anderson said he wanted to fight below 235, not 220.

bobcatbox wrote: ↑22 Feb 2021, 09:09Have you considered that 235 is a long term goal that he’s still very capable of reaching?

When he was 235lbs, he claimed he was trying to lose weight. And immediately ballooned to 250lbs.

Here's a hyperlink to the article:

Anderson has hopes of getting into the ring once a month, when or if boxing resumes this year after the COVID-19 pandemic flatlines. In the meantime, he’s willing to be patient and stay active. Anderson says that he wants to get lighter than the 235 he’s weighed. His trainer, Darrie Riley, would like to see Anderson weigh around 220.

I’m not responsible for your mistakes. Why bother to argue if you flatly-refuse to fact-check?

You clearly didn't read The RING article and nor did you read any of my remarks about Jared Anderson's physical appearance.

Your counter-argument lacks credibility, because you don't read the words of others. And no one else is to blame for your own laziness.

Less than two years ago Jared Anderson weighed 200lbs (a weight he’d competed at for three years, between 2016 and 2019). He's gained 50lbs in weight in a shockingly short space of time. Even his own trainer would like to see him 30lbs lighter.

I'll regain my faith in him when he delivers on his promise to control his weight - until then, talk is cheap.

I raised similar "weight gain" concerns about Anthony Joshua during 2017. Hearn, McCracken and Joshua himself were targeting a weight in the region of 236lbs for his October 2017 outing. Instead, the Brit ended up weighing 254lbs.

For the Andy Ruiz Jr. loss, the 6'6" AJ weighed close to 250lbs.

And in the rematch, he faced Ruiz Jr. at 237lbs, just one pound above Rober McCracken's 236lbs target. The Brit kept the weight off for the Kubrat Pulev bout.

Therefore, there's a difference between physical appearance and optimal weight! It's a shame you don't appreciate it!

Which means you did not get to see his spectacular outing for an 8th professional bout. Nor did you see his physique which appeared in great shape. But I’m the lazy one because I actually watch boxing before I shoot off my opinions that the best American prospect isn’t a hopeless fatty right?

Back to the original point of this now-derailed thread - Anderson has the skills to become heavyweight champ, and he looked in great form VS Ibeh. Looking forward to seeing him against better competition soon.

Everyone should know by now that BLM is a fascist group, created by Democrats to bring destruction to minority cities and communities, and to break up the family unit among black people. Its in their mission statement, look it up. I won't be a fan of someone who is against the black community, and follows a Trojan Horse group like BLM. Democrats created them and antifa to divide Americans. it's a shame more people havent woken up to this yet.
