What should a natural WW weigh in at on fight night?

[DIB42]

I've always believed that a guy who makes his weight comfortably and doesn't drain himself, has an advantage over a guy who dehydrates 20lbs and then tries to rehydrate in 24 hours. I could be wrong, if you disagree let me know why.

I think if you're naturally about 150-155 you can drop to 147 and rehydrate with little damage to your stamina and power.

if you're 160 plus you have to lose and come back 13 lbs just to get to your comfortable weight... almost seems to risky to me.

Then again you're hoping to fight a guy that weights in at 147 and comes to the fight at 147

the whole weight thing is messed up

What does clottey come in at, that guy always looked huge at ww....

[Maidana vs Rios]

get rid of weight classes.

let everybody fight everybody, regardless of weight, may the best man win.

just like they did in Bloodsport. JCVD #winning

A natural WW SHOULD weigh within WW limits on fight nights. This crap about hydrating to middleweights on fight night negates the purpose of having weight classes.

Not really, since fighters from every weight class do pretty much the same thing (bulk up on fight night). And when they do bulk up they weigh pretty close to each other, most of the time that is. The only weight class that doesn't put on weight on fight night are heavyweights, and that is pretty much self explanatory.

I'm sure he comes in at 160+. He's built like a tank.

He weighed around 170 for his WW fight with Corrales.

They should go back to same day weigh-in's in my opinion.

you'll still have guys cutting weight to make the division, though. But worse, guys will be dehydrated in the ring and of course this increases the chance of head trauma.

perhaps there could be a limit to how much you can rehydrate and very strong penalties if you go over. I believe this occurs sometimes already with a certain sanctioning body (can't remember who).

They stripped Salido the day he fought Gamboa because Salido gained 12 pounds after weigh in, maximum allowable was 10
