    If you are gonna be 15 pounds over the limit then move up....the weighin should be on the day of the fight.

      Well, that is your opinion. I agree with you but it is the fighter's prerogative on how much weight he thinks he can safely lose and still be competitive the next day.

        I think there would be too many fights canceled if they weigh in the day of the fight. Dont you think?

          I hear what you are saying but if you sign to fight at 140 then fight at 140..if not move up....it's not Cotto's fault but the commissions...they need to enforce this.

            Your right to say it's the commissions fault, but if cotto can boil down to 140 and put 15lbs on then it's up to him, loads of fights wouldn't happen if fighters fought at their 'natural' weight, if you know what i mean, but maybe some poundage restrictions should come in to play to make it 'fairer'.
            Say for example no more than 7lbs over that limit or maybe even only allowing to weigh in with the next weight limit eg fights at 140 fighters aren't allowed to come in more than 146

                  I had absolutely no expectations of an upset with Bruseles. I was surprised he made it that far.

                    Floyd never ceases to amaze me with his defense and accuracy. Can't wait to see him blow Gatti out of the water.
                    You made yourself look bad if anyone did. Floyd just did his job.
