I agree, to a point. What they lose just before a fight is "water weight." They wear the plastic and / or rubber "sweat suits" while doing heavy cardio etc. Then aprox 24 hours prior to the fight they have their weigh-ins. As soon as they step off the scales some one is shoving a bottle of hydrating liquid in their hands. Not sure what they use now, but "back in da' day" it was  Pedialyte. By the time the bell rings they are well above what they weighed in at.
