    i dont have a problem with fighters rehydrating.

    i have a problem with fighters inventing their own weight class and expecting fellow title holders of the same division to come in at a lower weight.

    actually i do have a problem with fighters abusing their bodies to the max to come in at a unnatural weight to take advantage of smaller fighters by fighting in weight classes that are not their natural weight class.

      i agree with you on everything you said, no CWs if you hold a title, and like i said before, the khan fight was a joke, but if you look at canelos fights at 155 before khan, those CWs did not affect or drain any of the fighters involved neither canelo had titles to defend, and none of them had much difference in size between the fighters, cotto was a bit smaller but he is the one that picked the weight...

        I kind of remember him mentioning this when he was asked about moving up in weight.

          Why has there been no demand at all for Canelo to fight Ward and Kovalev?

          HE is bigger than GGG but not a word about those matchups.

            canelo = coward

            he is the worst of the worst. never in my years of watching boxing have i witnessed a fighter do what canelo is doing. shameful. he has no respect for boxing. he literally is fighting in his own weightclass non stop.

                **** I loose weight when I take a week or two off from the gym.

                Some guys when they don't exercise don't have a big appetite. Hence being fit and having high muscle mass and not eating enough puts you at a calorie deficit and you loose weight.

                Now in camp, you are training and pulling weights, your appetite grows, you eats lots of stakes and potatoes and you gain mass.

                  So Ward fought at a higher weight in the Olympics than what Froch walk around at yet he was sucking down to 168 to fight smaller guys

                      It's not as simple as that. Roberto Duran, as a light-weight, used to balloon into a fat 170lbe and then had to cut weight. That's an extreme case of course.
