Boxing Fight Fighter
Should boxing allow any fighter to fight anybody at any weight class?
If boxers can rehydrate themselves into "heavier than usual" weight before the fight, why can't boxers fight people of different weight classes? For example, Mayorga was 170 pounds when he fought Mosley at welterweight. Does height and weight really matter?
Of course a straw-weight fighter shouldn't fight a heavyweight, they should know better. But within range of acceptable weights.
Well, most know the reason for not allowing that sort of thing is for protective of the fighters. Sure Mayorga was the size of a light heavyweight at the time of the fight, but I still think it would be unwise for him to fight a natural light heavyweight, for example. The reason being that surely a light heavyweight would rehydrate some of his "walk around" weight and possibly be a cruiserweight. If that light heavyweight was to add as much weight back as Mayorga did, then you'd have a 170 pound at the time of the fight against a man who would probably go from 175 at the weigh-in to about 193 pounds on the night of the fight.

Origins of Modern Boxing
Fighting with the fists for sport and spectacle is probably as old as sport itself. Boxing contests are found throughout antiquity. Greek boxers would wear boxing gloves (not padded) and wrappings on their arms below the elbows, but were otherwise naked when competing. There is evidence to suggest that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC. First accepted as an Olympic sport (the ancient Greeks called it Pygmachia) in 688 BC, participants in the ancient games trained on punching bags (called a korykos). Keeping their fingers free, boxers then wore leather straps (called himantes) on their hands, wrists, and sometimes lower arms, to protect them from injury.
The word "boxing" first came into use in England in the 18th century to distinguish between fighting to settle disputes, and fighting under agreed rules for sport. It is now used to describe a sport in which two contestants (boxers) wearing padded gloves face each other in a "ring" and fight an agreed number of "rounds" under recognised rules. Although men have always been the most numerous participants, there are some references to fights between women during the 18th century, and women's boxing was organised again at the end of the 20th century.
Pre-Queensberry Era
During the 18th and early 19th centuries, pugilism (bare-knuckle fighting) was an important precursor of boxing in Britain. Boxing, however, probably grew most specifically out of the demonstrations held at the fives court and the tennis court in London in the early 19th century. These promotions had several features that anticipated the future sport of boxing. The boxers wore "mufflers" (padded gloves), "time" was called after a set period, and the length of the fight was predetermined. Wrestling throws were also barred, as was hitting an opponent on the ground. None of these features were present in bare-knuckle pugilism. The first person to codify such rules was Jack Broughton, a prominent bare-knuckle fighter in the 1730s, when he opened his own amphitheatre in 1743. He devised the rules in order to give his fighters a certain amount of protection (he himself had killed an opponent two years earlier).
For a generation following the creation of the Queensberry Rules, bare-knuckle and glove-fights were both promoted. The bare-knuckle fights were usually held under the "New Rules" produced by the Pugilistic Benevolent Society in 1866, which had superseded the "Pugilistic Association's Revised Rules" of 1853. They were often popularly referred to as the "Rules of the London Prize-Ring".
Queensberry Rules
"Boxing" as distinct from any other form of fist fighting can be dated from 1867, when John Chambers drafted new rules. There were twelve rules in all, and they specified that fights should be "a fair stand-up boxing match" in a 24-foot ring. Rounds were to be of three minutes duration with one minute between rounds. Ten seconds were allowed for a man to get up if he had gone down during a round. New gloves of "fair-size" were to be worn and "wrestling or hugging" was specifically forbidden. These gloves' purpose is to protect the knuckles. An average pair of boxing gloves appears like a bloated pair of mittens, are often red, and are laced up around the wrists. The rules were published under the patronage of the Marquess of Queensberry, whose name has always been associated with them. The first fighter to win a world title under these rules was "Gentleman Jim" Corbett, who defeated John L. Sullivan in 1892 at the Pelican Athletic Club in New Orleans.
The success of boxers has always been associated with their size. In the early years of pugilism, however, there was only one "Champion", who always tended to be one of the heaviest. The term "light weight" was in use from the early 19th century and fights were sometimes arranged between the lighter men, but there was no specific Championship for them.
The terms lightweight, welterweight, middleweight and heavyweight became common during the late 19th century, but there were no universally recognised definitions of weight class. Throughout the 20th century, new weight classes were added, extending the range down to strawweight and up to superheavyweight but with varying agreement over their definitions.
In the early days of pugilism, all fighters were "professional" in the sense that few would fight for "love" rather than money. No distinct "amateur" sport existed until 1867, when amateur championships under Marquess of Queensberry Rules were held at Lillie Bridge in London for Lightweights, Middleweights and Heavyweights. By this date, the old professional bare-knuckle "Prize Ring" was in terminal decline. It had always been against the law, but in the early part of the century it survived because it had widespread popular support and because there were many influential men who supported it. By 1867, however, the results of fights were increasingly suspect, and sometimes boxers even failed to turn up for fights. Less money came into the sport and bare-knuckle pugilism slowly died out.
Conversely, the amateur side of the sport flourished, not only in schools, universities and in the armed forces, but also in the working-class areas of the expanding urban centres.
With the gradual acceptance of Marquess of Queensberry Rules, two distinct branches of boxing emerged, professional and amateur, and each produced its own local, national and international governing bodies and its own variation of the rules.
