    Okay to the people in favor of this rule riddle me this. We have seen countless of times a fighter barely missing weight like half a pound such examples Mosley vs Canelo. Then they give them an hour or two to go lose that and then they come back and weigh them. How can a fighter do that on FIGHT NIGHT and still be able to go and perform at 100 percent. We will see a lot more fighters be stripped of the belts because they did not lose it or bother re hydrating back. Not to mention taking mental focus into account this is done before fight night so the fighter is 100 percent focus on his task not the press or cameras till that night. A fighter can literally just relax that day till he shows up at the arena. It baffles me that EVERY fighter has the ability to do this (gain weight on fight night) and you guys still have a problem with it. Next thing you guys will want to do restrictions on height.

    The system is flawed in that it favours the bigger framed man who wants to take advantage of the smaller opponents. If Junior had to compete against super middles and even light heavies, he would be just a journeyman.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
