Can we talk about fighters picking on smaller fighters and not fighting at their own weight class?
Canelo vs pac next...really?

It’s been that way since 8 weight classes turned to 17 and fighters started taking advantage of dehydration and modern chemistry. Bizier looked like a shrimp against Brook. Morales almost killed himself to make 122 but it paid dividends the night of the fight. Gatti jumping off the scale before the weight registered at the Gomache fight and then almost killing the dude.
Same day weigh -ins would curb weight cheating.
You could say Hagler and Hopkins did it too.
Canelo failed against Floyd miserably.
Pac at his peak battered Oscar and Margarito so the tables were turned.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
What was the fight years ago with gatti he's brutality beat up the guy who was a lot smaller and think it ended the guys career
That’s the rumour but it begs the question at hand. If you can’t make the division weight safely the day of the contest then you have no business being in that division. I mean how can it be safer for natural weight fighters to fight against a guy two divisions higher on fight night then the weight the fight is supposed to be at? Safety?
I hear you but its never going to happen
if there's an extra 10 million pounds on offer if you can put a bigger frame into a smaller weight then people will do it regardless of the risk
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
It's not just about £10million though. More importantly, it's the guys who will do what they have to do just to earn a crust.
The 24 hour weigh in was done for the right reasons, but like every new rule change , people will always Try to get round it or use it to the best interest to them.
Tbf , the IBF rehydration clause is a great idea , where they can't be more than 10lb over their weigh in weight on the day of the fight.
