    I'm sick of all the disgusting weight advantages that the boiler boys enjoy. Yes, as long as they make weight, they are within their right to balloon up on fight night (unless you're fighting for the IBF title), but such advantages should be officially documented.

    What difference does it make, you say? Ask the boxers who allow themselves to be weighed on fight night in some fights, but not others. The weight is an advantage and one that they want kept secret. Floid refused to jump on the scale on fight night for the Pacquiao fight (the one where Floid was given a juice pass by USADA/NSAC).

    Would make no difference so it would be pointless.

    Some fighters drain, others like the Nut-shot, some hold, and some fighters prefer feasting on chumps.

    All like advantages

    Not pointless at all. Fight night weight is a huge topic and consideration of a fight.

    The official weigh in should be an hour or two before the fight. It would be safer for the fighters. And guys would have to fight in their proper weight class.

    There's a reason some refuse to get on a scale... Why do YOU think that is?

    Just explain what would be the point of your weight suggestion. Some guys will weigh more than others in the ring, as long as they're not breaking the rules, so what? Some guys are taller, some have a longer reach, some are faster etc.
