hmm

Don't take no supplement, dude. Some guys can do it, some cannot. Castillo does the equivalent in his weight-class. It's just water weight. He gets down to no water in his body and perhaps uses lax to get the solids out all the way, to make weight, then refills with water and food to come in the ring around 160 lbs.

^true.

Gatti almost killed gamache that was sad, I dont like the thought of making weight they should have a limit like if your 140 fight with only a 5 pound gain the next day so max would be 145 it seems really unfair but hey those are the rules. Gatti was bigger in the gamache fight then when he was in the de la hoya fight it was strange when gatti weighed in for the 147 pound limit the next day I think he weighed in at 152 or something it is incredible how he got all the weigh up to 161 for the gamache fight after weighing in at 140.

Again its all water, and **** they take laxatives and then right after the way in eat there ass off to supple the body with nutrients and drink fluids to hydrate themselfs.

Look man, you gotta realise that yes it would be difficult for the average person to gain 15-20lbs in a day on top of his 'natural weight'. But many boxers walk around between fights 20+lbs heavier than their weight division. So they've been training their asses off for months before a fight, and eating really strict (or even dehydrating!) to make the weight limit. So they are way below their 'natural weight' when they try to make their weight limit. Then it's ****ing easy to put on some serious weight in some seriously quick time after you've been stripping your weight down for months. Just through sitting down and eating heavily you could certainly put on 15-20lbs in a day on top of your weight-drained shape. That's why most fighters fight in weight divisions below where they could do (trying to be heavier than their opponent on fight night for an advantage), and why most fighters find it easy to move up to a higher weight division. It's why Hopkins, for example, will still look in great shape as a light-heavyweight.

1 word. creatine .

Thing is Gatti didn't ever weigh 140 when fighting Gamache. Gatti weighed over the limit. This is documented, look it up. Gatti jumped on the scale, saw he was over the limit and immediately jumped off. Gamache's trainer asked for Gatti to get back on the scale and the New York State Athletic Commissioner, Tony Russo I think, told him to shut up and quit trying to cause a fuss.

Gatti is a ****ing bum. This is one of the reasons I ****ing hate him. He could've at least found a journeyman that was his weight to beat up. Gamache was permanently injured. And say what you want, but Gatti is just as much at fault as everyone who allowed him to get away with it. If someone kills someone else and they get away with it, the murderer is still a murderer. The ones who didn't prevent the murder aren't as bad as the criminal.

Weigh ins should take place the day of the fight. I'm sick of seeing guys fighting for a belt at a certain weight class come in the ring 15 pounds heavier, makes no sense.

There is a downside to weighing in on the day of the fight. It is health reasons. Being so dehydrated on the day of the fight is not good for the brain. The day before allows the membranes to have a chance to grow.

People should just fight at a weight that they can make without having to drain themselves though. Gatti really should fight at around 154-160.

Thats the point...
then you wont see people all losing 20 pounds

If it's the day of the fight, then they got to pay the price for making weight..
