should a boxer be allowed to be a commisioner too when he fights?

why?........

It depends on what you define as standard rules.

Fighters demand different gloves, catchweights, ring size, etc. In the end it's just all things fighters have to agree on. If not, no fight.

Why is one demand so different than another?

BTW I was sorta ****ing with you on that first post. Just being a wise ass.

standards as in things that have been done and used before.....all gloves and ring sizes have been used,catchweights have been done before.......its all part of standards......olympic style drug testing?...never been done or demanded ....

Usually, if a fighter is scared of his opponent the only way out is to play the commissioner role. I heard it works wonder to the fighter who's scared to fight.

You can say that again...

Even how much money is involved if a fighter doesn't want to fight we can't do anything about it.

Everythings got to have a 1st, they weren't standard before people demanded them.

Wording it like this creates sort of a slippery slope that makes it easy for the TS to be agreeable. The better question should be if fighters should or shouldnt be allowed to set a new precedent for the rules if they feel that safety measures have evolved in order to level the playing field.

standard meaning , things made by boxing commisions that boxers have followed......not things made demanded for the first time......

There is always a first time for everything.I'm pretty sure that the 1st Catchweight fight also recieved some harsh criticism

[norrin]

exactly .... this is why asking for anything more than the standard rules that all boxers follow is a ***** move.......

If that is the case, then it would mean catch weights shouldn't be allowed because the Commission has defined the weight classes. Asking someone come in at a lower weight that is lower than the weight prescribed by the Commission is a "*****" move. Right?
