Exactly and in reality it's much safer. Take for example Sugar Shane Mosely walk around weight is 165 or 170 pounds, then train and fight at middleweight then and the guys that fought at middleweight and keeps on ballooning to cruiserweight by fight night should fight at a different weight than they are in. Or someone like Ricky Hatton was 152 at fight night then he should fight at Jr. Middleweight and the guys at Jr. Middleweight that has been dehydrating themselves at Jr. Middleweight should go up to super middle weight or something.

Watching Paul Williams fight at welterweight and then ballooning close to a light heavyweight on fight night makes you go what the fuck?
