Once you get to over 200 pounds... it becomes less of an issue. With the lighter weights.... the issue isn't getting his as much with the extra mass (with in a few divisions obviously) its the amount of energy, strength and fluid that a fighter makes to dry up and make the weight limit.

There are 5 foot 10 heavys and five foot 10 light weights... who's gonna be weight drained out of the two?
