so wbc will strip Fat Dave

That’s one tainted 175 belt

first tossed to the side of the road by Top Soviet Bivol

now peeled off of Dave

[SouthpawRight]

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

Suleiman having consideration for boxers and being worried about their health??? This has to be AI generated!

Agreed - it would once again become a contest of who is the best fighter at that weight and not, as it sometimes is now (looking at you Haney) a contest of who is best able to lose weight/rehydrate - which is 80% genetics and 20% training team knowledge

Top ten recent de-hydration exploits
Crawford at 135
Haney at 135
Broner at 135
Zurdo at 168
Ortiz at 147
Navarette at 122
Ennis at 147
Ryan Garcia at 135
Mikaela Mayer at 130
and likely Rafael Espinosa at 126 - how a 6ft1in guy cn make 126 is beyond me - I'm 6ft and never weighed close to 147 even when 20 yrs old
