[QUOTE=JAB5239;13213843]No my friend fighters were not smaller, the weight classes today do not have the same integrity. Weighing in 36 hours before a fight and coming in 2 and 3 weight classes higher doesn't make you bigger, it means you could never make weight 6 hours before a fight and be in condition to get in the ring. Make these guys go back to same day weigh ins and you will see a tremendous shift of fighters to different weight classes.[/QUOTE]
no , same day weigh in rule alllows smaller fighters to fight natural bigger men in higher weightclasses without having to sacrifice a noticeable size disadvantage .. making it a lot easier to climb weightclasses and be successful..
can you imagine pac vs margarito happening at 154 with the same day weigh rule in effect.. that 17 lb weight adavatntge margo had over pac would'nt have happened making it a lot easier for pacquioa ...with the same day in weight in , with pac or floyd vs martinez, they'd be jumping right on it...
and with the bold, i dont see how that would change anything .. marvin sonsona vs carita lopez ( happened a couple years ago) had the same day weight in and it did'nt make a diffence ..neither performed like they belonged to a different weight class...
