Do you care if a boxer is a "weight bully"?

[TheReadyTimeBoy]

If they aren't fighting in the correct weight class there is a danger of that happening, yes.

But that's their fault. They shouldn't be weight bullying.

So why not weigh people before they enter the ring?

People would continue to try to manipulate their weight in weird ways, probably.

That would be truly dangerous.

No time to rehydrate or replenish at all.

Its just playing every legal advantage you have, an age old adage in any form of professional fighting was to be as big as you can be at the weight, the idea is true, but the like all things people will find a loop hole, and the loop hole is the variation that is between dehydrated weight and the fighting weight, this varies between people and their particular system, add to this the use of drugs to draw more fluid out of you and now we have a slippery slope that can allow basically legal cheating.

If your big at the weight and do it fairly I dont see anything wrong with that, if your using drugs to be able to weighin lighter or forcing another guy down with the intent of draining him its wrong.

Right, if they make weight legally then I have no problem with what they rehydrate to. If they put on a lot of weight then that means they usually cut a lot which a lot of people say has negative effects. But everyone is different. Sum guys are taller than others, sum hit harder, longer reach etc. Nobody should get too bent out of shape if there’s proof u both weighed the same the day before your fight.

[Earl-Hickey]

Yes

They are usually ***** ass *****es

[Scopedog]

Yes, although usually the ones they're cheating the most are themselves. Draining yourself massively for fights is typically only something you can do for so long and eventually it'll get too hard and you have to move up to the weight that you probably should have been at all along. When you do have to do that you put yourself at a disadvantage because the other guy likely has experience fighting guys your size and you don't.
