Algieri looked in perfect shape at 140. Dude could make a big impact on his career just through nutrition and making weight, looking totally healthy doing it.
Crawford looked like Christian Bale in Rescue Dawn at the weigh in.
look how crawford made gamboa break into a sweat at the stare down

this bullshyt has to stop.. the reform needs to happen.. I knew there was an obvious size difference, but
this trifling nikka came to the ring as a damn jmw
17 lbs over the lightweight limit
I dont think it was all that bad though, Crawford's weight. He fought as a Junior Middleweight vs a Welterweight (Gamboa was 145)
I wish they would have to fight at their natural weights though or go back to same day weigh ins. Even do the 10 lb max rehydration like the IBF already does.

Its fukked up... Same shyt happened to Lomenchenko when he fought Salido coming in the ring as a welterweight for the featherweight title
Not quite. Salido blatantly failed to make weight at all in order to have that insane advantage on fight night so he could get one last quality W under his belt. I think there's ways to regulate it without having to do what you guys are suggesting. If a guy is willing to cut to make weight and bulk up before the fight, then so be it. For all that JCC Jr cruiserweight shyt, he couldn't beat the legit MW champ, a natural 154 lb fighter.Its fukked up...

It was a huge problem when Floyd pulled that move on JMM. But with these huge weight penalties and rehydration clauses that people are smart enough to negotiate, they should be fine. If all the greats before got to do it, then why not now. Guys stacked up belts in lower divisions when they KNEW they were too big. If they change the rules, then how can a guy be a 3,4, or 5 division champ? Let Crawford cook and he'll eventually settle into his natural weight class, where the killers are waiting…

I mostly agree with what you're saying breh, except that up until the mid 80s, fighters still had same day weigh ins.
The fighters of the early 80s and earlier didn't get to rehydrate like they do today.
I don't think ANY fighter should be allowed to enter the ring at 10+ lbs over the division they are supposed to be fighting in
I love the IBF's rule.

Your broad loves me.....
If he made the weight he made the weight. If he would have gotten his ass whooped because he sucked down to make weight it wouldn't even have mattered....
I guess that's why nikkas ducked paul will
