Yesterday Peterson posted a picture on his official twitter account. 173LB

Then the replies 182LB So What the actual F#ck guys? A light welterweight walks around at cruiserweight After his fights? Is that even healthy thats the first time im witnesing something like this.

I don't think im buying this. peterson is what, 5'9? 182 pounds is a lot for a person 5'9 to weight unless you are overweight or extremely muscular. As professional athlete, peterson doesn't fit the first and isn't an overly muscular guy either.

Why should he be lying? He's got quite some muscle, and maybe he just likes to eat...

Same day weigh. Ins would stop that nonsense, or better yet ringside, like 2 hrs before.

Never will happen though, as the people running the show are making money off weigh ins.

So PEDs is an option. I thought of that too. Probably the same Beltran used?

Winstrol? Stanozonol?

Thats some Bs..

My thoughts exactly

Ricky Hatton always did this.

I personally find it impossible. Even if he didn't take a sh*t all week, I doubt that a person could or would just eat food adding up to 20 pounds in one week. Not sure if his body is also just storing all of the water and not pissing any of it out. Also, after weight-draining, I dunno if the body's ghrelin, leptin, or vasopressin levels get really messed-up, and/or if they bind to receptors in weird ways. I am curious whether he is using banned diuretics, and whether they are affecting these hormones, but I dunno. But obviously a normal person who isn't rebounding from severe weight draining is not going to be capable of spiking 15ish pounds in one day, and then another 22 pounds in the ensuing week, even if it were just fecal / water weight, and even if they were really pushing themselves to achieve that goal.
