Biggest size advantage at a non-Heavyweight weight class?

[beenKOed]

I don't have an answer for the largest weight difference but I never liked the change away from the same day weigh-in. No one likes to see large weight differences in a fight but you can't say the larger fighter is cheating.

The same day weigh-in was changed to protect dehydrated fighters. The thing that always pissed me off about it, and this sounds insane, the rule change actually protects the larger fighter from the smaller fighter because he had to drop more weight! The change never made sense to me.

A percentage of weight gained in a second, same day, weigh-in would be a fair solution but then you would have dehydrated fighters in the ring because the larger fighter would try to make that percentage of weight gained cutoff.

What would be the penalty for missing the cutoff percentage? I don't know about you guys but I'll be wanting to see that fight whether the larger fighter makes the percentage or not. So, like always, it comes
down to money. How much, to whom?

I'd like to see some changes and I know it could be done fairly but I'm not holding my breath.

We'll still cut weight; impose same day weigh ins and we'll just get hurt more seriously.

6'4 Bob Foster v 5'8 Dick Tiger , big difference.

6'4 Bob Foster

I think it was worse that guys like him and Hearns had so much power even though they were lanky. Made it harder for guys to overcome the reach advantage
