.................don't forget the 8am weighin the day of the fight!!! Catchweight 10 rounders are fine but NO Title matches can be made with +weight!
Then you'll see guys fight at their real in top condition weights and you will see better matches. A guy who weighs 145 can easily be a welter, the welter can rehydrtate to 155-156 off the 147 limit the 145 guy can have two good meals after the weighin and be at 147-48. If your talented 7 to 8 pounds isn't alot to me when under 160!! Thats the way it was done and believe me when you weighin the morning of the fight you won't hydrate 20 to 25 pounds up from that in less than 24 hours because your body will reject the stress of the fight! You'll be sweating your head off and your metabolizm will be so far off you'll be out of shape by the 8th round or sooner! Ray.

Rios and Chavez Jr would not be who they are today if that was still in effect.

Chocolatito rules flyweight. Golovkin or Sergio would run middleweight.

I'm sorry but the eight traditional weights thing is a myth created by The Ring.

Lightwelter has been around since 1926 & has had some amazing fighters in it too.

If you REALLY want to be traditional let's go back to the old English style, Light (under 140 pounds) & Heavy (over 140 pounds).

Well said Ray.

The 24 hour rule is good for the health of fighters but unfair on the real fighters at the weight.

Bring on Khan v Wlad

Funnily enough, I feel that if Wlad was a 140 fighter he'd resemble Amir Khan.

And I don't mean that as an insult - I'm a fan of both.
