[Davros?]

They should have to have to meet a BMI level.

****en ridiculous. babe ruth wasnt in shape and was the home run king of his time. nightmare isnt always in the best of shape but he knocks muthaphuckas out. dont worry about another mans weight, its really not healthy for you. if you dont want to watch the fight, then dont watch it.

I think this is the only way to stop these unprofessional heavyweight fighters from turning up in bad shape. If they fail the test they don't fight, and therefore don't get paid. I bet they'd train a bit harder then.

Its a good idea... try convincing the athletic commissions to enforce it though...
