I was looking through his boxrec and fonud something I didn't know. Until 2006 Dawson fought from 160 and 170. Doesen't mean much in regards to this weekend really as this Dawson's body will be different to the one back then, he'll have grown. I just found it interesting and something that many people perhaps didn't know. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=60393&cat=boxer
He looked just fine on the scales. Didnt have that drained look that many fighters have making weight.
Oscar had fought at 130lb and even won a title at that weight yet people were all 'he was weight drained' when he got his **** pushed in vs Pacquiao@147lb.......
Sorta different situation. Oscar at the time Pacquiao fought him was an inactive mid 30s coke fiend who had fought as high as 160 in his career.
Are you for real?? Oscar was about 21 when he was fighting at 130! When he fought Manny at 145, he hadn't made the weight in ten years! He was nearly 36 years of age, and he'd only fought 3/4 fights in the last 4 years of his career. I'm a big fan of Manny's, but that win was absolutely worthless! For an average fight, Oscar used to rehydrate to around 12 pounds after the weigh in. But After the weigh in against Manny, it was hardly anything. He was dead on the scales.
Yeah he's actually a natural supermiddleweight, majority of his fights were at that weight. Anyone who's followed Dawson knows he's said many times before this he was willing to make super middleweight for the right fight.
