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

Did Mosley pop for the margarito fight? No?
Regardless who gives a ****, doesn’t matter to the thread topic, I just like it when weight bullies finally get dealt with and was just using margarito v Mosley as an example.
Sorry if margarito triggered you

As long as they meet all the rules in place, I don't really care.
If a guy misses weight (ie Broner) or doesn't follow sanctioning rules (ie Jacobs), I'd probably complain a bit. Catchweights are fine by me for non title fights but if it's a title fight, I think it gotta be at the full weight.

I don't like the weigh in the day before the fight and I think same day weigh ins were much better. However weighing in the afternoon before the fight is now the rules. I don't think there is such a thing as a weight bully. I think it's a term some fans made up to discredit boxers they don't like. If a boxer makes the contracted weight then he has stayed within the current rules and cheated or bullied nobody. A boxer can only gain so much weight in 32 hours without doing himself more harm than good. If a boxer finds himself outweighed on fight night then drop down to a lower weight class. Their are 17 different weight classes and many are only a few pounds apart. Blame the current weigh in rules if you want but don't blame the boxers who follow the rules and cheat or bully nobody.

i think people overall want to see 2 guys fight who are the same or very close in weight and not a comp to see who can dry themselves out the most and rehydrate again which brings in play body types etc, maybe i'm missing something but why not just bring in stricter rehydrate limits, the ibf have made a start on it, weight classes exist for a reason, not an exercise to find ways to bypass them in a way
