    Honestly, that's how I feel too. And to me, this is not about Canelo. I like him and I'm glad he's going for GGG. It's going to be one hell of a fight.

    Re-hydration limits should be set up by athletic commissions, sanctioning bodies, etc. People saying fighters will get hurt by coming in dehydrated are on the wrong side of the argument/safety spectrum in y opinion. They're making the people that are going to extreme measures just to get a size advantage, that although legal, is definitely bending the rules.

    To explain myself better, by bending the rules I mean that although they're technically following the rules, they're cheating the intent of the rules, which is to have fighters of the same size battle it out to determine who's better.

      Ward weighed 176 for the Dawson fight. Lil G weighed 172 for Rubio. Who was dehydrating more to reach their division limit?

        So Ward would have only needed to drop 12 lbs to make 164 lbs but still turned down a super generous 50:50 split? Wow.

          Lil G was 172 the same size as Froch but wanted a CW. Wow what a *****.

              The facts don't suit your agenda? Just dismiss them.

                  So HBO lie about weights now?

                  If that's the case we can't take any weights they show seriously including Lil G's.

                    Then perhaps they'd learn to stop doing it.
