    You haven't proven that he was draining him self to begin with. You are just assuming that. If you think Floyd entered the ring at WW at the same weight he did at 135, you are dumber than I even though. Which is pretty freakin near impossible

    I'm aware that you've never even had your hands wrapped, but I'm sure if you think hard enough you can figure out why not having to drain an extra seven pounds against a guy who enters the ring at about 150 is a actually a great convenience.

    Yes, I'm assuming Hatton was a weight drainer as it has been widely accepted by everyone in boxing.

    You can reread what I wrote and see if I claimed that Floyd's in ring weight at welter was no different from his 135 in ring weight.

    It's interesting that you're accusing me of being dumb while writing and comprehending as if you need to a take a remedial English class.

    :lol: I doubt a punk like you has even been in a fist fight in your life. (Here's where you pretend to have been a boxer BTW).
    There's something very momma's boy about the way you post.

    Hatton was drained at 140? Based on what exactly? Looking his best at that weight? :lol: You are the very definition of Dunning-Kruger NoBrain...

    The irony of Floyd requesting all this stringent drug testing and when they actually did fight he was the one who was caught with a needle in his arm using an IV :lol:

    Floyd's agenda was to try and discredit anybody who could be perceived as a better fighter than him. He still does it in retirement accusing guys like Inoue of using PED's.

    Looking back, a fighter should never have to go down a weight class to defend a belt.

    Even though Pac beat Hatton, Cotto, Oscar and Margarito, it’s obvious those extra pounds lost…affected their performance.

    Boxing is a sport. It's one you've never participated in.

    That was just the worst match up for Pac that's coming from a Marquez fan
