Fighters putting on many pounds on fight night...

[a-raines21]

But my question is where is the advantage? Often times the bigger fighter is the slower underskilled fighter(Margarito) but the smaller fighter is the faster and more skilled fighter(Mayweather). So if the faster fighter uses his footwork and hand speed advantage then he negates any size advantage the other fighter might have. So again how is this even an issue? size has ton's of disadvantages too and what it comes down to is who is simply the better fighter.

the fact of the matter is if you are heavier, you can take more punishment. this is a scientific fact. that y wou will never see a mw knock a hw out cold. it not phyically possible..... thats y the weight classes exsist

And weighing in 10 pounds over on fight night is all determined by your eating habits and really isn't anything thats determined naturally. All the bigger fighter has to do is eat a little less and wallah he still is bigger and stronger come fight night.

not true........ u will never eat ten pounds worth of food........ u may be ten pounds heavier right after u eat, but the weight wont stick. only about 3lbs would be legit.

You should not rehyrdate over 5 pounds

Hold on let me Email GOD real quick and tell him to stop creating people with more natural strength, size, and active metabolisim than other people. I'm sure he will fix the weight advantage issue in boxing ASAP.

Ok if water and food doesn't make a person heavier than what does? Do these fighters bones grow denser over night? I think that you have discovered an annomally that not even science can explain LOL!!!

And we don't have decisions in boxing? The smaller fighter has to knock out the bigger boxer?

And isn't the pacman delahoya fight a perfect example of skill trumping size???

Even as a Williams fan I find it wrong him fighting at 147. He should be fighting in 160 same goes for Margarito. Its wrong when you add more than 7 POUNDS. That is a whole weight class. It's pretty much breaking the rules of weight classes

No since Oscar was weight drained and weighed a mere 147

How is it breaking the rules if the rules is weigh 147 at the weigh in?


That is the rule right???

And some how that makes Manny the exact same size as oscar???

seriously think about this one before you talk? Even weight drained and weighing almost the same as Pac Man does that still make Oscar and manny the same size??
