Ariza : Pac is walking around at 148

I'm pretty sure the reason why you've got people riled up is because despite stating numerous times that you don't believe in the "rehydration clause", you still somehow feel the need to state that it's plausible (obviously anything is possible) and that it's a valid concern when most people (not only the *******s) find the idea of team Pac somehow having the negotiating power to make Oscar agree to it rather silly considering that clearly, Pac wasn't that big a star yet in boxing.

There are only a few people who raise the rehyrdation clause as something plausible, do you really want to be in their company?

 

I never mentioned hoya, i am talking about Margo, keep up.

 

What would be logical would be fighting margo at 147. But we know why pac's team doesn't want to do that.

 

Well, you always believe the rehydration clause when not a single credible article was written about it.

Infact, the first time it surfaced is in ESB forum by the *****s, as usual.

 

You might be onto something.....


Arum does not control DLH, so that might be a reason why DLH allowed himself to be weighed fightnight vs Pacquiao.....to show he was at the same weight or lower in this case than Pacquiao.....

.......but Arum does control Margarito, if there is a rehydration clause here, Arum controls everything....the chances are neither Margarito or Pacquiao will be weighed on fightnight, thus there would never be the suspicion you talk about.

 

Ermm unless I'm mistaken I have never commented on dela hoya and pac rehydration clause. So why bring it up.

This fight however will show me if there is something in the contract. If margo comes in on fight night under 155 it pretty safe to say there was.

 

Call it what you may.....how do you think Pacquiao does now if in 6months time he weighs in at 133 lbs officially, 135 lbs fightnight and is to fight an elite lightweight with quickness, speed, and punching power???

Be honest here Bula......I dont think there's a fighter out there who's body will respond at a high level if he comes in weighing close to 15 lbs lighter on fightnight than he did the fight previous.

To attempt to do that in such a short span to lose the weight is insane.

 

I tried the low carb/high protein diet and it does not damage your strength at all. And it makes you lose weight, super fast, you won't believe it. (first 3 weeks, kinda slow. But after that it goes on warp speed, especially with exercise)

You feel lighter and it makes your muscles feel more solid a little quicker.

But I noticed I lost my temper a lot quicker. More aggressive, somewhat.

I don't think the weight was the factor. I think it was DLH's dminished overall boxing attributes and age that was the main factor.

He was never a bully type of brawler, anyway, so the extra weight would not have been used as well as someone like a Margarito, for example.

 

Bula my friend, you're avoiding the question I asked you!

Thats OK Bula, your silence tells me more than what your words could say.:good

 

Well, to answer your question, Pacquiao would probably have a lot of problems, making the low 130s now. He has always been a low body fat kinda guy, and if he tries to go down that low today, and keep the weight constant until fight night, he'll just be damaging his muscle mass, not losing fat.

Oscar, you gotta admit, was pudgy and soft looking at weights higher than 147.

He lost fat to make 147, not muscle.

If Pac tries to go down to 130, he'll lose muscle, not fat.

 

DLH's physique looked good at 154 lbs vs Mayweather, not much fat at all.

I think DLH lost both muscle and fat for that Pacquiao fight to be honest.
.....but like I said before, I dont believe any fighter would take to kindly to dropping 15 lbs from his previous fight.

How would Hopkins fare if he dropped back to 160 lbs?

How would Mayweather fare if he dropped back to 135 lbs?

Marquez back to 126 lbs?



Hell, Julio Cesar Chavez looked pudgy fighting at 147-150 lbs.......his body and face looked terrible when he dropped back to 140 lbs to fight Kostya Tszyu.

The fact is that when you accustom your body to fight at a certain weight, and then want to drop the pounds in a short ammount to time, you're going to pay the price for doing so.

 

So do you mean that Lebron dunks in front of Kobe is better than Lebron dunks in front Shaq?

Good post....

But their pride...or lack thereof...won't allow them to comprehend your words.
