Something needs to be done about these guys re-hydrating 20+lbs.
It's dangerous for the opponents. If you can't make the weight healthy just move the **** up. There is what, 17 divisions? That's enough to choose a weight class that fits you.

and quillin had the nerve to said that GGG needs to move up and fight ward

Ya know, this reminds me about a rule I came across in NSAC's rulebook about the maximum difference in weight allowed. It might refer to official weights only, but such a stipulation might be justified for in-ring weights as well.

2. No boxing contest or exhibition may be scheduled, and no unarmed combatants may engage in a boxing contest or exhibition, without the approval of the Commission or the Commission's representative if the difference in weight between unarmed combatants exceeds the allowance shown in the following schedule:

up to 118 lbs........................................... not more than 3 lbs.
118 lbs.-126 lbs....................................... not more than 5 lbs.
126 lbs.-135 lbs....................................... not more than 7 lbs.
135 lbs.-147 lbs....................................... not more than 9 lbs.
147 lbs.-160 lbs..................................... not more than 11 lbs.
160 lbs.-175 lbs..................................... not more than 12 lbs.
175 lbs.-195 lbs..................................... not more than 20 lbs.
195 lbs. and over........................................... no limit.

It shouldn't be up to the boxer. The Commissions should have this in place.

Quillin and his easy fight taking ilk are filth. This was a public execution. A complete disgrace.

[Beercules]

It's not cool regardless of competition. Not to mention very unhealthy.

I completely agree, there are weight classes for a reason. I'm just saying that it's basically bad enough to do it but odds are that another guy close to the level of Quillin for example, will probably be doing the tricks of the trade to rehydrate as well.

A guy that is some lower level made to order opponent isn't likely going to have the resources or know how to rehydrate like that and probably still wouldn't stand a chance if they both weighed the same on fight night.

Wrong regardless but doing that against such a helpless opponent is a flagrant abuse and should be recognized as such.

Zab wasn't a "bust". Underachiever maybe but he had a good career in his own right.

His career was decent, but much like Don Curry he fell way short of expectations.
