    Would the sport be improved if we had same day weigh ins?

    Fans would stop bitching about someone being weight drained because everyone would have to stay within a certain weight range...

    Nowadays people complain that someone is weak/dehydrated/had troubles making weight etc... as if someone makes boxers drop 20lbs of water in 3 days instead of taking care of their nutrition and staying around fighting weight like Mayweather

    I'm in favor of that. It cuts out all the bull****.

    prob is better, a lot of fighters would move up, greats like hopkins,floyd, marquez, pacquaio and martinez fight at walking-around weight so they would stay at their weight
