        You could have just said Paul Williams and yes he would be one.

          To answer your question, no I don't have a problem with it. It's a part of the sport and that will never change.

            I don't respect weight-drainers at all.

            If boxing still had SAME DAY WEIGH-INS they would even be around.

            **** em.

                I have a problem with it, because in reality it really covers who the best are in each weight division. If they had weigh-ins say 6-8 hours before a fight then fighters who drained themselves would be at a disadvantage against more natural fighters in that class, then and only then will you know who real champs are. Oscar starving himself all those years and then coming into the ring insanely bigger as he was already way taller than everyone, gave him an even greater advantage. Just think, had Oscar started at his more natural weight of 147 he would never be in the HOF. Just my thoughts.

                  It wasn't always like that..

                  Same day weigh-ins have a longer history than this current bull****..

                    The welterweight division would be **** without these drainers.

                    Light-middle would be buzzing though, lol
