Is it time to go back to the old weigh in system?

    That's far more dangerous. If they really want to change it, weigh the fighters a few times spread over a week.

    No, it isn't... my point is that Hoya was counting on rehydrating because of the time he had from weigh-in til fight night, basically he gambled..... under the old system he would have never even attempted to push for that fight at all...

    Yes, I think it's more fair. Under the old system, I can see WW Floyd and Pac fighting and beating Sergio in a MW fight.
