I understand fine. Canelo for instance, he was against the rails at 154, that was his absolute limit that he could recover from. Your hero put another 2 pounds on him and it was that last straw. Next day weigh in, where he had been 172 in the fight before, he weighed 165. Jacobs and Kovalev were up against it too, so the abused Canelo took advantage and became the abuser.
The CWs can indeed wreck somebody, but the 10lb IBF weight clause will not cause harm because there is enough time, if somebody is really dehydrated that's the issue, its not the hydration process over the next 30 hrs, its the drying out and training weight to make the CW that hurts, there is always exceptions and things can wrong with how the body works, that's why I look closely at the fight in terms of a fighters, physicality, snap, reaction time, endurance, these tell me if a fighter is drained, when they are drained that don't have any of that.
Id don't agree with any of these weight dealings, but so long as we elevate multi-weight champions the way we do, the A side is always going to apply any kind of pressure they can on their opponent, and its pretty much management doing it not so much the fighter.Last edited by Roadblock; 04-27-2023, 05:34 PM.Comment

You're a liar and hypocrite. Just as I thought. Not once did you criticize Canelo in this thread.

I complain about catchweights and hydration clauses probably more than anyone on here, I don’t care who the fighter is. To me a catch weight is only something I’m “okay” with if it’s a super fight between two guys from two separate divisions since the catchweight SHOULD have an effect on both guys. Catchweights on equal sized opponents are reprehensible, and hydration clauses are only there to give you an advantage IMO.
what’s even worse about the Canelo one is he put a hydration clause on Rocky Fielding before he put one on Jacobs. Then he put TWO on Kovalev (morning of the fight, evening of the fight) Like, **** division do you even fight in?Comment

Who cares? "Barrios couldn't rehydrate to Super Middleweight. It's unfair", "Ryan couldn't rehydrate to jr. middleweight. it's fake"
Which objective person gives a f_uck?Comment
