    How can you post ridiculous statements with out any support!
    The limit is 147. Hoya weigh-in at 145(by choice). Pacquiao weigh-in at 142. There is also a rumor that GBP rigged the scales because Hoya was overweight by 2 pound from the welterweight limit. I don't think it's true. Boxrec did not say anything like that. Also boxrec, is not a good source for stuff such as this.

    Ah he must have been horribly drained from going down 3 pounds from his last fight?

    Or was it that he was in horrible shape cuz his trainer sucks ass and mismanaged his weight and training?

    Christ, go whine to your momma. It's his friggen fault, he's a ****ing professional being paid millions. Why are you whining about it when the onus is on Oscar to maintain himself?

    I dont know why your blaiming me for having an opinion i have blaimed Oscar the whole time for making 145 when it was 147 and not gaining weight. Your the one whining I said my side your the one who cant deal with somebody elses opinion. Its not like I blaimed Pacquiao I blaimed Oscar for agreeing.

    That's not the impression I keep getting. Over and over you say he's drained and it was easy for Pac.

    Oscar is a ATG, he should know his limits. He wanted Pacquiao, because he thought he could whip on this tiny asian man. He chose to fight, and he chose the weight. It WAS NOT a meet halfway, it was make the small guy go way up and I go down 1 step. Oscar made this deal believing he would crush Pacquiao.

    I get tired of people bemoaning over Oscar's dehydrated this and that state. It's nauseating.

    IMO weight cutting is bull**** anyways. All fighters should train at and maintain the weight they will fight at. It's the only way it's fair. It's ******ed that a "welter" can enter the ring anywhere between 150-170.
