    Overweight; It happens so what

    Look: these guys all cut weight. You know your opponent is going to come in as close to the weight limit as possible so that when he rehydrates he hopefully has the weight advantage, therefore you have to do the same. There is no exact science to doing this. Half a pound over, half a pound under; It's kind of hard to make the weight right on the money, though I'm not saying it doesn't happen, It's just not as easy as it sounds. This is why they allow you to weigh in, and if you are off, then you are allowed to try and shed the exceess and come back. This happens everyday in boxing. People are making more of this just because it's a big fight.

      Its not a big of a deal like most on this site are claiming. Its only 4 ounces. He should knock that off without a problem. Mosley and Cintron were a little over the limit against Margo and Martinez. They knocked it off real quick. Campbell, Guzman, and Floyd were way over weight.
