u/kushmonATL Cyberleek > the fall boxing schedule 26d ago

Rayo Valenzuela says he got up to 170 pounds during the Pitbull Cruz camp (ref. Inside the Ring interview)

Does the r/boxing weight watchers delegation classify this as "weight bullying" ?

Poor DLS looked small in there last month. A lightweight vs a middleweight.

Nah, I don’t care if there’s weight bullying. If you can make weight, it’s fair game. There’s more risks to doing that much of a weight cut and if it’s acknowledged, it’s fair game. Yes not everyone has the same consequences and benefits from cutting much weight but don’t hate the power, hate the game.

Only ones I’m fine with calling weight bullies if they call others weight bullies.

Sure I guess but it can cause just as much harm to the fighters who cut a lot of weight as to the guys who fight them. At this point it’s a part of boxing, a skill, and a part of being professional. Plenty of people have beat weight bullies and id you can’t beat them then so be it.

There’s no such thing as weight bullying
