    "Floyd Mayweather may have actually spoken out of both sides of his mouth [when it comes to drug testing],
    three or four sides [of his mouth]? No, unthinkable. It is my understanding that the IV is used for two purposes
    - one is to rehydrate.
    Many fighters have to dehydrate in order to make weight, and then after a weighin they try to rehydrate,"

    "The other [reason fighters use an IV] is to mask illegal drugs. All I know for sure is
    - Mayweather has never had trouble making the welterweight limit."

    From what I read he was on his death bed. The IV allowed him to magically bounce back. Too bad DLH didn't have the same magical IV after his weigh-in vs Pac. He actually could have used it. Instead he his IV didn't do anything. Sadapples...

    There are two reasons why a commentator would not be named larry merchant.

    one is that they would have talent.

    He was 150.05 pounds 30 days before the fight.

    He had one month to take off 3 and a half Pounds.

    He had no trouble making weight he was chaeting Fact !!!

    Do you even know how weight fluctuation, aging, and cutting affect a fighter?

    :patsch Floyd fans are embarrassing themselves.

    Floyd DID NOT NEED to rehydrate, he was not drained.

    You don't HAVE to come in at 147. Floyd knows this.

    Man, this is going to end up like the Armstrong case!
