      We may need a new division between 175 and 200 then

      a return to same day would be great for guys like Top Soviet Bivol, Floyd, et al who add back on <= 10 pounds

      these guys become more dominant as they’re now beating up opps who lack a 10 or 15 pound size advantage

        is the whole point not to get them into the ring together at the SAME weight, as in no dehydration game whatsoever

        so if that is the case why not weigh them like they do horse jockeys right before they get into the ring, hbo style, u have to be right on your weight class, if u are not the fight can still go ahead, for example u come in at 136 for a 135 fight but u pay a hefty fine to your opponent, a % of the purse or each pound u are over

        it will make no difference to the fight even if a guy is 1 or 2 pounds bigger in the ring as the system TODAY results often in 10 pound plus differences in the ring so it will be a huge improvement there as well

          wbc gave Fat Dave preferential treatment only to threaten him later that very same year

          upon rewatching Fat Dave Buff Guy Yarde, FD was a bit flabby in his most recent 175 outing

              gifted belt is also a privilege

              WBC is a Mexican org and favors its tribe
