Anywya,does Berto really blow up?He usually comes in the ring under 160 and even talked about going down to 140 a while ago.

It is more of a recent phenomenon, indicative of society's wider tendency to be out-of-shape & in poor condition in general.

There are some really well-known ones --- Rid**** Bowe, Fernando Vargas, Ricky Hatton, & probably none moreso than James Toney.

One not everyone seems aware of is a fighter of the 80's & 90's, Michael Carbajal, who developed a habit of stacking it on & often went through absolute hell to make the Flyweight limit. Of course, you also have Erik Morales among the smaller men, & former HW Champion, Michael Moorer, also had troubles in this regard...although that was said to be attributable mostly to his heavy drinking, so he had a little less trouble than others cutting, given he only needed to dry out.

Former featherweight champion pedroza takes some beating he could go as high as 175 pounds then have to boil back down to 126

Erik Morales and Johnny Tapia. Joan Guzman would also be an obvious choice too.

I've read about Gatti and Trinidad putting on a lot of weight between fights.

I wonder how many of these fighters had low testosterone (like james toney).
