    Draining yourself to make weight is a calculated risk. If he weighs in the night before under the limit and then returns to the ring much heavier he has not cheated or broken any rules.

    The only rule that he is messing with is one of nature. If he fights the fight and loses because he weakened himself trying to make weight would he still be considered a cheater?

          Then the rules should be revised. He ended the career of a guy because he was fighting at a weight class he did not belong in. He should have been fighting at Supermiddle weight that night, not Welterweight.

              For me it was Mike Tyson, I mean I became a huge boxing fan because of Larry Holmes and Ray Leonard, especially Larry since I loved watching him work his jab to set up his right cross to perfection, but Tyson was the one who really made me say "damn I HAVE to find a boxing gym somewhere" which is when I began my career as a boxer.

                it isnt his career he's probably mad about, gamaches brain is damaged because of the gatti bout or so he claims

                  he doesnt have any serious brain damage. he just gets "headaches" and hes suing gatti over headaches when he can just get some ****ing advil from the rite aid down the street.

                      he actualy only came into the ring at 160lbs which is middleweight and most boxers on average gain at least 10-15lbs
