There is no need for u to try & defend Pacman's catchweight fight against Margarito.The cheater agreed to those terms so it isn't Pacman's fault he may not have been in the best shape.It is team Pacman's & Arum's fault that that fight was made to begin with though.Margarito did not deserve that fight,just like Mosley didn't deserve saturday's fight.

To me it makes no sense to fight at a weightclass if when fight time comes, you're 1 or 2 divisions above that weight class. This is why same day weigh in needs to be put back into effect.

Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostDay before weigh-ins only give fighters the chance to cheat the scales and compete at weight classes they shouldnt be at just to gain a weight advantage. IGo back to same day weigh-in's If a fighter wants to risk brain damage by dehyrating and starving himself then oh well. They know the risks.
