Why stop there? It seems strange to me. The way it is now you get welterweights fhowing on fight day approaching mi9ddleweight. It makes for uneven fights weightwise. I would rather see a system whereby when a guy steps into the ring as a welterweight, he really is a welterweight. Not sure how they would do that though.

I agree. Same day weigh ins are the only way.
