    Any examples of this, other than Eddie Mustafa Muhammad?

    I'd also be interested in instances where fighters eventually made weight after initially coming in over, or even well-known examples where fighters had to sweat off a lot of weight the morning of their same day weigh-ins.

    Matthew Saad Muhammad came in heavy against Dwight Braxton in their first fight. Came in heavy and ran on the board walk to get to 175 lbs. His team claimed he weighed 181 the morning of the weigh in. I think he had to weigh in twice before making 175.

    Yeah, in the broadcast Cosell says that Muhammad had to take off 3 pounds that morning.

    Maybe Bobby Chacon in one of his fights against Ruben Olivares?

    Hearns initially came in half a pound over during his same-day weigh-in against Iran Barkley.

    Hagler was a few ounces over against Minter, and thus Boom Boom made Marvin strip naked.... That work out well for Alan!
