Even franky edgar cuts.. he only "cuts" 3-5ish lbs :P.. basically takes a shit and hes set. Controlling peoples weight is incredibly difficult. Even with same day weigh ins people will cut weight. Its just part of the sport... If you empty your bowels you lose a solid 10 lbs. More if you're heavier.. can't monitor someone doing that lol.
If Johnson cuts that much weight there is no way hes 100%.. you should be able to wear him out. If wrestling wasn't a factor chances are hardy would have won that fight.. standing and striking he would have had the advantage.. and Johnson would have gassed.
If every aspect was completely equal then its a tough call. Some people believe cutting weight enhances your performance(Johnson obviously does).. others like Edgar don't. I don't think it will ever stop being part of the sport.
Me personally am in the middle on the matter.. if people want or don't want to cut more power to them. I do both depending on time of the year and how much free time I have.
