    So your theory is that if they agree it's okay which was not the case here so how is that relevant or even a theory? That's an opinion. What does it matter if you're okay with it you're not the sanctioning body. It's okay for a guy to come in a full almost 2 weight classes above because it's a bigger disparity in the HW division? which has no limit... and starts 65 lbs higher up the scale.

      It’s unprofessional because you have multiple weigh ins leading up to the fight and it is assumed you will make weight. When a contract is signed, everything that’s agreed upon should be fulfilled. Otherwise that’s a lack of professionalism and integrity as an athlete. Especially at the world title level.

      Fighters don’t always make weight though so as long as it’s made, that’s all that matters.

      I’m ready for some Boxing and Gambia once upon a long time ago was a bad man at 130 Can’t wait.

            Oh okay just slink away and play the YDKSAB card rather than refute anything I said. Go storm off in a huff like your idol after nearly losing to the scale again.

                  Basketball analogies don't apply to boxing. If you have nothing good or meaningful to offer, zip it.

                  Floyd was the biggest fraud for not making weight he agreed to fight a tiny man Marquez. I know a lot of frauds like him. What do you think, Larry?

                  Gervonta at least did.

                    It's a fight. Get on with it.
                    If you wanna ignore my other post fine but answer me this;
                    Is it not unprofessional to have to pay a fine for not making weight? Considering boxing is his profession I would consider that unprofessional. Forgetting to mention he was late for the weigh in and afforded every opportunity to make it.
