Can someone explain to a newbie the point of making weight if you’re allowed to just balloon up the next day?

I hope Ryan gets help (if this isn't some elaborate trolling). Mental health issues aren't taken that seriously in boxing but it's some I believe a lot of fighters suffered from in some degree which lead to destructive behavior outside of the ring

On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
Devin is considered a boring fighter by the casuals. He cant Mayweather his way to a win
:childplease: Mayweather his way to a win? This is what we have come to? Dominating a fighter without a KO is bad now? His fight with Prograis was horrible I guess. Casual opinions are, casual opinions.

The point is that fighters of similar physical stature/build will generally compete in the same weight class.

People who can't make weight are fined, risk having the fight cancelled, and even blackballed for not making weight. Thus, fighters are less likely to fight in a division where they will likely fail to make weight.

Rehydrating is accepted as being part of the sport, so long as you make the weight first. There are also people who believe that they should bring back same day weigh ins instead of doing them the day before the fight.


The IBF also enforces a rehydration limit for their belt.
