        I know that Ohio did a same day weigh-in for some fight, back in January. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Ohio only does same day weigh-ins. The Pavlik vs Espino fight had a before day weigh-in.

          so if Williams rehydrates to 168 and fights Clottey who rehydrates to 170, it would be unfair?

            Hearns is one of the best WW's ever. Boxing doesnt not have height and reach classes. So Mike Tyson should be a 154 Pounder and Cabrello should be a Middleweight?

                The most Will ever weighed was 164 against Q the first time. He said he let himself go and was out of shape.

                The dude cant even make 160 on the nose. He gets stuffed with gritts just to weigh 156. For Middleweight fights.

                Hes a twig with almost no muscle.

                      No, my point is they should be fighting at SMW, not WW. Skip the charade of a weigh in and just weigh in what you are gonna weigh when you fight.

                      Its not about reach or height its about frame size.

                      Tyson is about 5'9 or 5'10 but has the obvious frame of a HW.
