A higher fight night weight doesnt put a fighter in a higher weight class

This seems to be a new fanboy trend...attributing a fight night weight to a fighter being in a higher weight class. If a middleweight weighs in at 160 and then fights at 175, he is not a light heavyweight. If a welterweight weighs in at 147 pounds and fights at 165, he is not a super middleweight. In fact, adding on this much weight is often a bad thing for many fighters and may indicate they had trouble making weight. The extra water weight is not comparable to a fighter in a naturally heavier class that trained to fight in a heavier class. Some of our favorite fighters do wind up fighting opponents heavier than them on fight night, but they are not fighting the equivalent of a fighter in a higher weight class. So does this mean fighting at 152 catchweight will make you look like Shyt?

Like when they call canelo a super middle weight and then trout comes in weighing a pound heavier all you hear is crickets

Yea , the less you rehydrate to indicates you are in better shape
