    Do you think margarito will weigh in over 160 come fight night?

    And if he weighs 159, what? All off a sudden he's restricted by a rehydration clause. Is that how cut and dry it is 159 = clause, 160 = no clause

    Why is 160 the magic number? You're comparing his fight night weight to what it was over a year ago...and the statements coming from Margarito's camp is that he is training harder than ever, and he looks in great shape. This could be a factor aswell...anything under 160 could be down to the fact that his body is in great shape.

    If you are the trainer, would your strategy is to overpower Pac or would you like to have some speed.

    Baloooning to 160 would make Margarito exremely strong but what is strength if you can not land a punch.

    I reckon he would be near that weight but towards the leaner side.

    I think there was an article where margarito's trainer is aiming for 157 at fight night.

    Don't try and introduce variables to what is obviously a completely black and white issue.

    Below 160 = "Pacquiao is a conman, cheat, fraud with rehydration clauses"

    Above 160 = "We need to find something else to discredit him"

    Considering at 147 he weighs in on fight night at 160.

    I expect that at 151 margo should easily be over 160 come fight night. If he don't something up.

    So if he weights 159 1/2 then there is a clause?

    I don't agree. Margo weighed in perfectly against mosley and still weighed 160 come fight night. Margo can train as hard as he likes, at this stage of his career he knows it much harder to condition the body.

    Margo team have one option to bully pac into a fight, and walk through pac assault, that requires extra weight. If this fight was at 147 margo would be coming in at 160. This fight is at a catchweight of 151, i expect margo to be above 160 come fight night, if not something is up.

    Why do you say ballooning to 160? You make it sound like margo is a small man or something. This same guy has shared a ring with williams and martinez and cintron in the past and looked just as formidable.

    I can't see how pac team will allow margo to enter the ring above 160. I know roach wont allow it. We will see.

    How can margo be drained at 159 when he fights at 147?

    I expect margo to come in no higher than 160, anything under that I suspect is down to a clause?

    Oscar did weigh 147 on fight night at least on hbo's scale that much is a fact. Another thing some ****ing idiots on this thread don't get is that a rehydration clause means there is an agreed limit to how much weight each fighter can put on before fight night.
