    No it isn't. If someone can't weigh within a certain percentage of the weight limit they should leave the division and campaign at a higher weight.

    Every single fight needs rehydration limits.

    But every single fight does NOT have a rehydration limit. It’s an unfair advantage and privilege that only cash cows like Canelo and Tank are afforded

    Yeah rehydration clauses are for both fighters. That doesn’t change that they are a major advantage for smaller fighters

    Maybe, rehydration shouldn't even be a thing though, larger fighter who likes to put on weight to gain an advantage should be fighting 1 or 2 weight classes up. They should just bring back same day weigh ins

    Rehydration clauses are for female dogs only. Guys who don't have confidence in their ability need to find ways to handicap the others to get an edge even when they are fighting scrubs like Gervonta does.

    Loma is a small lightweight and you don't see him do that crap. Win or lose he fights guys at their best like a real fighter should.

    You can say the same for guys putting on 20 come fight night. Both are legal advantages that exist because same day weigh ins are gone, that's the real problem

    I’m all for mandating rehydration clauses for every bout. But my point is that right now in boxing today rehydration is a thing. Only cash cows like Canelo and Tank are afforded the luxury of rehydration clauses- it’s an unfair advantage

    They should all have it. Every rehydration limit is one step closer to what I want.

    If a fighter can't fight without rehydrating to a certain amount they should leave the division.

    Everyone should follow their example.

    Really good win that haters still don't give him an ounce of credit for. The Cruz barrios garcia are good wins the martin win will age well to.

    Man nah. He said hell no because of his hand and he still won. Yall crying about that but if he gives Cruz a rematch people here talking **** will be the first to say it's a waste of time fight and Tank is ducking someone else who's a real threat.
