Many fighters in history have done this but all of a sudden you have a problem with it... lol hilarious.
Just a note - Same day weigh-ins were not removed until the 1980s.
And that's not since forever? LMFAO I wasnt even born till the late 80s. This has been in place for so long.. It's like saying well before boxing went on unlimited rounds till the other boxer was KOed. Rules came into place for a reason. Like youngblood stated.. It would be dangerous to not let a boxer re hydrate themselves. A boxer starving himself till the fight date seems idiotic to me. ... In that case let's bring back 15 rounds and let Chavez knock the fuck out of Martinez... :P
Mate - I agree. You didn't read my other posts. I was just making a side note about when they went out.
