    In ring? So I'm assuming he's probably walking to the ring at 160lb+ now.. & doesn't he start camp at 180lbs? The 24-hour hydration loophole is becoming more effective than PEDS these days.. I wonder how different the sport would look if it had same day weigh ins and fighters had less time to rehydrate? Crawford vs Gamboa is a prime example of how deceptive the divisions can be.. I think this topic is too often overlooked.

    He beat Spence badly. That's it. Get over it and shut the hell up.

    As long as a fighter makes weight I don't see an issue with rehydration, unless it's in the contract of course.

    only reason crawford got dropped was because he cut alot of water to get down to 135. weight bullying is a myth. Look at how a natural welter treated spence like a baby.

    Nothing deceptive about divisions, you make the limit, you belong. Pretty easy to follow.
