I know that I haven't been in on this conversation much, and as a result look like a troll now.....but.....I'll comment anyway. Please remember that these are just opinions, and not experience with such things speaking.

IN MY OPINION, cutting weight is a last ditch effort to fight at a lower weight than you actually are thereby giving you an advantage. I personally, consider this to be cheating. BUT, everyone does it, so it must be ok to do it right? I don't, and never have. Even when I was in boxing. I had guys cut to be in my weight class, and I usually ended up winning anyway. If your training is complete, then cutting will only hurt you in my opinion.

BUT.....I don't do it, so I probably don't know.
