Would a return to same day weigh ins make boxing much better?

IIRC, the rounds switch from 15-12 had to do more with the networks than actual ring fatalities...although, im sure that had some underlying influence as well

It's basically a double edged sword, either way.

Would Castillo have been able to hang with Mayweather Jr for twelve rounds if weigh ins were on the same day? Look what happened when Jose moved up to 147.
Would Cotto, Clottey and Margarito been able to see twelve rounds with Pac? Or would they have quit like Oscar De La Hoya.
I think a return to same day weigh ins would bring about a more elite sect of boxers.
What do you think?
Also not too sure why this was stopped so if someone could enlighten me that'd be greatly appreciated.
