As we all know the reason with the weight divisions is to keep the fights fair. So why not have same fight night weigh ins and then the boxers go into the ring the same night? Wouldn't this be fair than having one guy balloon up to 20 or 25 pounds to hydrate himself while the other guy can only muster up like 10 pounds?

A clear example is the Clottey-Corrales fight at welterweight a few years back. Corrales came into fight night around mid 150s while Clottey went in around low 170s. Can anyone really tell me that this was a "fair" fight? Or Paul Williams coming into a welterweight fight and then ballooning up to mid 170s for his opponent.

So why is it consider a fair fight when a guy comes in at the weight of a light heavyweight for a welterweight fight?
So what's wrong with having a level playing field? There are now 17 weight classes instead of the original 8. If a guy is struggling to make weight and has to drain himself then move up in a weight division.

Back in the day Sugar Ray Robinson met Jake Lamotta for the Middleweight championship at their same fight weight they were on the scales hours before. Legendary fights and was fair for both sides.
