This weight issue is getting ridiculous

[goti71]

Very unprofessional, and the only reason a guy like Canelo can do it is because he has the power and there's no way Angulo is going to turn down the fight.

I think the commissions should stipulate that if you don't make weight, you automatically forfeit 50% of your purse to your opponent.

And/or enter the fight one point down (good suggestion on a sweetscience article today).

Getting fined is justified but entering the fight with one point down is pretty silly.. this is pro boxing, not some play fighting..

One point down is gay dude.

Not gay. In that case so is a fine.

The point deduction simply levels out the advantage of coming in heavier but doesn't make it play fighting IMHO. So a pro-boxer needs to come in heavier than a supposedly inferior opponent? Now that's weak.
A fine won't do anything if you have the cash/name as someone said before or somewhere else or whatever but a point less would make "pros" think about it.

I think Canelo will win anyway. Better boxer.
