Fighters that were drained

Hopkins should have been drained against De La Hoya if those that think he was always a true light heavyweight. He came in at 156 and if he was a true light heavy he'd be north of 180 naturally so must have lost at least 24lbs to make weight vs Oscar. That of course is BS, never stepped in the ring at middleweight above 168lbs but if you believe that narrative that he was a light heavy then he clearly must have been a dehydrated zombie when he stopped De La Hoya.

 

For you excuse making, for others simply reality. I don't know why it's hard to except blatant realities

 

Chad Dawson vs Ward is one of the most drained fighters I can think of at an elite level.
