    Floyd didn't weigh over the WW limit...baby dick

    You Kennel Club members act like Floyd weighed-in at 154 instead of 144:lol:

    No it's unprofessional, adds potentially more danger & possibly leaves the fans without a fight

    this is what you posted...

    so you are insinuating that jmm should be glad that floyd actuallly was so generous that he even considered fighting jmm at 144 when jmm has no leverage. what a ******ed argument for excusing what floyd did. :huh :patsch :-( :lol:

    i don't get your post. so are you saying that it's ok to ignore the weight as long as fighter's don't get drained? if you don't want drained fighters, then fighters should not sign to fight at a weight that they think would harm them.

    If you can't make 130, be honorable and pick an opponent at theweight limit you can make. Don't troll the guys below and cheat them at the scales.

    im with the rehydration limit. Someone picking back up to 20lbs, like JCCjr, is just stupid.

    lol, prob not. More like the believers in the so-called "bad guy" archetype. In reality, its more like a person who lacks character and integrity. But these guys give boxers literally "get out of jail free" card and excuse inept and immature behavior as "just an act". It makes you wonder if they are the same way themselves and give themselves the same justifications...

    No it's BS! If fighters cannot make the weight fights should be automatically canceled and purses withheld. Fail twice and get banished from the weight class.

    Every fighter that misses weight should be held to the same criticisms wether they're big stars who have done it like Pacquaio and Mayweather, up and comers like Broner or Rios or established veterans like Castillo and Guzman. It's BS and unprofessionalno matter who it is and stricter penalties like outlined above should be in place to prevent this.

    the topic is about fighters missing a contracted weight wether it's a catchweight or not. i don't get what you're talking about fighters being drained in this case. are you saying that it's ok to miss the weight as long as they are not drained and are comfortable?
