    He of the seemingly insane, get down to your fighting weight, then lose a further 10%!

    I read in BN at the time that Chitalada got down to 8st from close on 10st in the days on same day weigh-ins!!!

    How much of that was Atkinsons fault and how much was the Thai way of doing it?

    I can't believe I've gone through this entire thread and no-ones mentioned Haskins - Broadhurst. Tut tut tut. Shame on you people.

    Was going to mention Christie/Kaylor but got beaten to it.

    How about Hatton V Magee, that was pretty big?

    Also does Hide V Bentt count? I seem to remember Norwich V Millwall undertones, probably the only time Norwich would ever beat Millwall at organised violence.

    I've got a memory of reports of a Millwall fan attacking Bentt as he was stretchered out of the ring too :rofl:rofl:rofl
