    Good, shut the **** up white worshipping ******.
    Some people drain off more weight to fight in a division, and rehydrate to regain more weight than others, so come in weighing 10 pounds more than their opponents!

    You obviously don't watch much boxing or you would be aware of this. I believe weigh-ins should happen the same day as the fight.

      They obviously should happen same day.

      But Mayweather would still be a WW and no one else in the division would be. So... who's not fighting at their natural weight again?

        Jose Luis Castillo
        Diego Corrales
        Arturo Gatti
        Gabriel Ruelas
        Jake Lamotta


        All of these guys shrunk down to unnaturally low weights to compete, are they cowards as well?

          The camps of Mayweather and Hatton had been in negotiations for a long time before that happened. Ellerbe admitted this. That was just a move to spark interest, nothing more.

            If they have same day weigh in only people like Mayweather and B-hop would be left in boxing, People like Williams, Margarito,cotto or hatton would seriously be fighting at crusierweight.

                Naw, I'm just faking...lol. To us guys who went to college, we consider this an insult read to your sentences. Being born dumb and ugly, and living with your parents...you wouldn't understand this.

                  Yeah... I'm not really sure what the difference would be at either weight though... A lot of people said that Hatton is just bad at 147, but... the more fights he has, the more it just seems like he is just way past it, and not capable of fighting at a high level anymore.

                  I mean, really... Collazo, Castillo (he looked good, but Castillo could barely stand... his balance was SO bad), Mayweather, Lazcano... I guess we'll have to see how he looks against Paulie M.

                      Team hatton never wanted the mayweather fight at 140 in case they lose, They wanted the fight at 147 and thats what they negiotate for, In losing his still the man at 140 and thats something they wanted to protect which they did.
