24 hr. RE-HYDRATION RULE makes CRITICISM of CATCHWEIGHT fights ILLEGITIMATE
For a fighter starting at 106lbs, a former flyweight champion, now fighting welterweights, it makes it all the more impressive the fact that the 24 hour rehydration rule means that on fight night, pac (who is not even a welterweight) is fighting junior middleweights & middleweights.
How much can we really hold it against him the 145lb catchweight & proposed 150lb catchweight vs cotto & margarito when the 24 rehydration stunt in today's era is in effect?
How do we analyze the 24 re hydration rule in historical context?
Old time fighters never had to deal with it. But in regards to pacquiao, who in 3 welterweight fights cant even make 147, how can we really criticize him when on fight night he's not even facing welterweights?
When henry armstrong fought welterweights, he fought welterweights on fight night. when pacquiao fights welterweights, he fights junior middleweights & middleweights on fight nights.
The 24 hr rehydration rule in today's era must be taken into consideration. It completely negates all the criticisms of catchweight fights.
The catchweight criticism is a inaccurate, unsubstantiated, superficial disadvantage/advantage because of the 24 rehydration rule.
UPDATED POST IN REGARDS TO PWILL VS MARTINEZ CATCH WEIGHT REQUEST:9-15-10
anybody who criticizes catchweight fights as a way to discredit a fighter are ignorant, pretentious, & ****** hacks pretending to be physicians & medical researchers with vast amounts of medical data to support the ill effects of catchweights.
In fact, almost all evidence point to catchweights or "weight drained" excuse as being flaccid placebos.
winner of martinez vs paul williams gets full credit. catchweight has absolutley ZERO effect on the outcome of the fight just like in pac vs cotto, sweet pea vs chavez, oscar vs hopkins, & almost all the other catchweight fights the cry baby b*tches want to talk about.
24 rehydration completely removes any advantages or disadvantages of catchweights.
the reason why fighters ask for them is the false sense of security or edge they THINK THEY GET from it.
catcweights = placebos.
Pernell Whitaker had a catch weight vs Chavez Sr., how come he totally dominated Chavez Sr.? How come his performance wasnt affected?
Bernard Hopkins had a catch weight vs Oscar, how come Hopkins performance wasnt affected?
You wanna know why?
because catch weight = placebos. They are nothing more than a mental advantage than a physical advantage.
Guns dont kill people, people kill people. Size & weight dont win fights, fighters win fights.
