    All this means is that fighters are dehydrating themselves before a weigh in. No liquids around weigh in. They'll throw on a sauna suit, hit the sauna room or do some cardio workouts to sweat out 12 lbs, 15 lbs, 20 lbs.

    He lists the heaviest recorded weights of some fighters and lightest of others.

    173 is the heaviest GGG has ever been

    188 is the heaviest Kovalev has ever been. He was 180 just a few fights ago.

    Martirosyan has been 170 or 171

    Rigo has been quite a bit heavier 128 or 129 IIRC

    Lomachenko was 132 in his last fight

    etc

    There is the safety aspect to consider, but if they didn't have to dehydrate themselves as much for the weigh in, they wouldn't need a day and a half to rehydrate healthily.

    I'd be all for it.

    It'd be too dangerous with today's current philosophy.

    But not if everyone fought in their natural weight class.

    Then they wouldn't have to rehydrate as much, and they wouldn't need as much recovery time.

    It's a joke when you've got Canelo weighing in at JMW, and then fighting as a LHW.

    came in 152 on fight night vs canelo and i think he was 151 for cotto (both 154 fights so you would assume a younger floyd did not weigh 165, where did you get your sources?)

    thats how they do it in today boxing. even for little kids in my gym. they would have them starve to death to get into a lower weight class so come fight night the blow up and be the bigger guy in there. these casual fans dont know what going on. thats why i respect ppl floyd and cotto they are fighting very larger guys than they should be. floyd usually weighs in the same come fight night not blow up 20+ lbs crazy
