    Take away the 24 hour weigh in, it'd be better and a lot of fighters would be forced to move up if it happened.
    Ugh they changed the rule because to many boxers were dying from fighting dehydrated when they had the weigh in the day of the fight. Boxers lives are more important to me than the sanctity of a spot so Im fine with the way things are now.

      Well the reason they changed it was because fighters were still trying to squeeze into the weight on the day of the fight (which was the day of the weigh in) this mean they couldn't rehydrate/ eat properly and led to lots of injuries, danger etc.

      So you couldn't change it to the way it used to be

            He made the weight and can fight there, maybe Peterson should have moved down since he didn't put on much weight at all.
            WOW.

            You 2 are some of the main guys who criticize Paul.

              Not because of his weight but because of his dimensions. But I dont wanna argue about Paul anymore with you lets just agree to disagree on that. Pauls weight is fine I just wanna see him fight guys that have a similar hight and reach that he has so thats a diffrent conversation.

                Fair enough....

                Did you watch the Michigan game?

                Robinson is an animal.

                  Peterson going from 135-139, he should be at 130. You should be putting on at least 10 lbs, 15lbs is nothing uncommon.

                    he should stick 1 weight class and dominate it...


                    imo he should stay at 160 and mayb even challenge a 154 pounder for a couple of fights then move up to 168....


                    I think that he could bulk up and make 168...it would be interesting to see how he does with guys his size and how his skills match up with guys that share similar physical attributes...
