Why is seemingly miniscule weight differences dramatically change outcomes?

I know that 1 or 2 pounds can be dramatic and very important. But why is that the case? How is it possible that a fighter can come in at 144 and be too weak, but come in at 147 and be bigger and stronger than his opponent? Ne answers will be appreciated.

U are worried about the wrong weight. What matters is how much the fighters rehydrates to... for instance pac will rehydrate to 148 lbs, while cotto will rehydrate to about 160 lbs.

i tried to explain that above, but ill put it simply he will still weigh the same on fight night pretty much no matter what he weighs in at, to get to the weigh in weight he will dehydrate the more he dehydrates the longer it takes to recover so may not be recovered by the fight.

Ok... i get it. It hurts the fighter when he rehydrates. I understand now. Ty. A lot of ppl on here would've just flamed me for it...lmao

lol no worries not all dehydrating harms fighters its just getting the balance between how much you can cut without doing too much damage.
