It wasn't that their brains turned to mush it was fighters not being able to rehydrate themselves properly, they couldn't get fluid to protect the brain into their bodies when they did same day weigh ins.

Let's go back 20 years and analyze what happened in boxing when we had Sameday weigh in's. DEATH!!!!!!!

Fighters fought and died in that ring because they were so dehydrated that their brains pretty much turned into mush. Wouldn't you rather have someone beat Margarito with skill and not on a technacality? And doesn't that shoot down any argument that Margarito haters make with P. Williams since he is(shock) bigger than Maragarito. Seriously if you hate Margarito that much that you would implement a rule that would cause many boxers to die then you make me wanna vomit. Margarito can fight at 147 even at his size for 1 reason. Genetics! His bodies ability to stay at 147 and his chin were all things he was born with. See thats what makes a great fighter! His natural dominance over other fighter.

Please share your comments and please if you can't form a sophisticated argument against this don't post in this thread at all.

This is more or lesswhat I was trying to say but thanks for helping me with my point.

What about +1 to 5 pound cap? Say the fight is at 147...you can have up to +1 to 5 pounds allowed by fight time. This way, you don't have to cancel the fight, however, maybe there can be some penalty.

And if fighters are dying, whose fault is it really?

It's the fighters for trying to fight in a division they shouldn't be fighting at.

Yeah because money has nothing to do with anything. Seriously do you think that every weight division is lucrative for fighters? When it comes to Millions of dollars it's not gonna stop anything just like it didn't stop fighters in the 60's 70's ad early 80's who died in the ring.

Logic my friend!!! You should try using it!!!
