I think maybe they should adjust the weigh ins system. I believe they should weigh in something like 24hrs prior to fight time or something.

The way it is atm the fighters starve and dehydrate massively to just make a weight and then pig out and drink their way somethimes up to 20lbs heavier than they were supposed to be. These days the actual weight ranges are a whole division out of tune. The welterweights are really the middleweights of yesteryear and so forth. Maybe not same day weigh ins but something closer to 24hrs seems logical to me.



Weigh-ins are the joke of boxing. Weight divisions were made to level the playing field with regards to size. But when someone like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. routinely comes in at 30 pounds over his opponent, by either breaking the rules, or bending them to almost the point of breaking..... it makes a mockery of the sport.
