People need to accept, that at-least in the lower weight divisions 80% of the so called great fighters of today? Would not be able to go back in time, and compete with the all-time great fighters.
Alvarez for example although I rate him as a fighter, within today's era.
Alvarez would really struggle competing in the era's of boxing, which used the same day weigh in rule 'Because Canelo Alvarez, has been one of those modern day fighters that has heavily relied on weight draining himself in order to be the big man on fight night'.
The toxic weight draining culture is a completely modern phenomenon, never before in the history of boxing? Have so many fighters adopted a long term backwards training methodology, to gain a supposed advantage on fight night.
I have described this method of making weight and training as backwards, because long term eventually it will negative effect a fighters conditioning and performance etc.
Note: I think the criticisms of weight advantages or weighing heavier than a opponent, needs to be retracted from the Heavyweight division. The Heavyweight division is a open class division, and when you really think about it? Nature and life is a open class division. The competition within the Heavyweight division is the purest form of competition in the entire sport 'Because the two fighters competing, can train and compete at whatever weight they want. And not be subjected to a weight limit demand or a re-hydration clause etc.

It can work for or against a fighter who weight drains twenty or more pounds. If you have to drain yourself to an unhealthy weight you risk not being in peak condition and weakening your stamina. Spence and Crawford walk around at 180+, they can easily fight at 154 or even 160. During weigh-ins they look like zombies. So far it hasn’t hurt them and they’ve used their size to great advantage. Taylor and Haney are struggling to make weight and Haney refuses to agree to any rehydration clauses.
I’m all for same day weigh-ins and rehydration clauses. We have weight classes for a reason.
