Catch Weight - Title fight?

[AdamGB]

ok, how 'bout this? no catchweight, fight at 147lb limit BUT they do it on the condition of same day weigh-in. how well do you suppose that would fly?

Even worse. NO Welterweight save for Manny and maybe Floyd would be anywhere near 147 when they actually step into the ring.

They simply aren't naturally that weight, they can cope with dehydrating to stand on some scales for 5 minutes then rehydrating... they can't be in that state for hours and fight.

That's why they got rid of same day weigh ins... fighters were exhausting themselves doing it and getting rid of the fluid that protects the brain... Dehydration/Fatigue = Brain Damage.

i know they place the system there to protect the fighters, but then these fighters take advantage of it thru weight cuts. so, same day weigh-in would show mosley and others aren't fighting at their natural weight. why then would pac fight a middleweight wherein he's the natural welter?

pacman is not a natural welterweight.

Drying up is part of the game now, 24 hour weighins changed that.

A natural Welterweight doesn't walk around at 147 pounds and a natural middle weight doesn't walk around at 160 pounds, they are just able to hit that for the weight in and not be a corpse afterwards.

That's the way things are for everybody all the way up to Cruiserweight and it's not going to change just so that Pacman can spread himself over an 8th division he's not big enough for.
