So following in that notion, would you say the following things are cheating as well:

- Putting vaseline on your face
- Carb loading
- Warming up
- Drinking water during rounds
- Using hand wraps

All of these things are done right before and sometimes during a fight in order to give slight advantages or to make things easier/better for the fighter and are temporary.
All the things you mentioned here are for the protection of the fighters body. Cutting weight is not. Cutting weight is just so you can fight someone smaller in my opinion.


What you're missing here Joe, is that these are just MY opinions. Darn multi-quote is owning me again today....
