pac vs sergio, at 154..same day weigh in, like the old times..

[jrosales13]

How about Pacquiao vs Martinez at 160 in Philadelphia(Pennsylvania still does same day weigh-in) for the MW belt?

Martinez would weigh 160(assuming), Pacquiao 148(assuming). A 12lb disadvantage for Pac. But, he has fought against bigger size disadvantage(Margarito) and Mosley was probably close to the 160 as well. So what would be the issue with this? Plus Martinez might still be somewhat drained weigh-in at 160 same day...When was the last time he has done that?

Would this be OK?

Would this not be legit? And, it would still follow commission rules.

Forget the whole Pac and Martinez situation for a second.

Really take a look at the same day weigh-in aspect. Ignore Pac and Martinez throw in any other fighter you wish, or don't throw in any fighter at all. Just look at the same day weigh-in.

What is wrong with having it now?

Yes it was medically dangerous back then because people would drain themselves to make a certain or would suffer the danger of being to small for the higher weight.

Back then a lot of weight-classes were separated by double digits in pounds. Now we have so many weight-classes(17) with all of these jr and super divisions. All weight-classes are separated from 3-8 pounds. That a fighter doesn't have to drain themselves cuz' they're too small for the weight-class. Since none of the weight-classes have huge gap in pounds(except for LHW to CW)

Really, same day weigh-in should be brought back. There's nothing dangerous about it now.

And, it would eliminate a lot of catch-weight fights. Plus you would have guys fighting against others who are their own size. So people can't be crying about someone being too big and this and that.

gotta admit, thats an excellent post....

i think they made it a day later because fighters were draining themselfs to make the same day limit....

but they gave them an extra day and they just cut more now...

i like it...

guys who fight at 135 would probably be welters cause they woulndt be able to cut as much in one day so fighters would actually weigh what the limit says....

and a guy like sergio would probably be a lhw or 168 if he had to fight the same day he weighed in...

he woulndt be able to make 154 same day.

This is another ****** idea from *******s who've never been in the ring / only been watching boxing for 5 months. And when i say watching boxing i mean watching manny and nonito.

[gatorDelux]

Would this not be legit? And, it would still follow commission rules.

i think sergio weighs more allong the lines of 170ish on fight night so it would be hard for him to make 160 same day too. maybe 165?

[Larry the boss]

guys really fear sergio this is hillarious
