    When there is "guarantee" millions involve for everyone to make and generate anything will be allow esp. how the economy has had an effect. Margarito would have not been fighting if this was in the 90's or early 2000. But money would hide the real truth and allow anything. There is a reason why Manny has only been fighting Top Rank opponents since his move at welterweight and any fighter will take a fight now with Manny no matter the circumstances.

    This is where I am.

    The fact is messing around with such clauses can be extremely hazardous to any boxers health. There is lots of literature out there regarding the detremental effect dehydration has on the brain, to be honest I'd be astounded if such clauses were legal under any commission.

    Are you telling me Hatton (152) weighed more than Cotto (?) on fight night? Pacquiao was 148 for Hatton and 149 for Cotto on fight night.

    I'm not making it about Floyd. I compared two situations where one person has to have evidence to be looked at as guilty and the other does't.

    i remember that too, but its hardly being mentioned here. the problem is odlh weight management wasn't done properly. odlh has 3 months to prepare. he simply understimated pac and paid the price dearly.

    It still doesn't work though. In this instance, people are saying he uses rehydration clauses. Why? Based on what? Nothing. People just started guessing. They assumed **** based on Oscar's **** up.

    Floyd has pictures, police reports, and testimony. A history. Multiple instances of this **** as far as the accusations against him go. It is a legal matter being pursued by the DA. It. Is. Not. The. Same.

    Dont remember weights but yes he did look bigger than both.

    I think they make Pac seem much smaller than he actually is. Whenever they show measurements from him and his opponents he is still normally bigger than them all around except weight and height. Like wrist legs fist neck, biceps.

    He is not a damn 106 pounder everyone wants to us believe.

    Now, being 35 years old, it’s totally different. I’ve had to adjust my diet. My diet is based on my blood type, O-positive. We had my blood drawn and sent to nutritionists we use back east. They put together a diet based on my blood type, what works for me as an individual. I’ve been doing this diet for around three years now. Finally, for this training camp, I have it down to a tee. I can eat unlimited amounts of food, a lot of deer meat, kangaroo meat, everything is organic. I have milkshakes made with rice milk. Everything I eat is natural. I can eat unlimited amounts of food and I’m losing weight. I even eat small amounts during work outs. A week ago, I weighed 145 and was feeling strong. Something is working. And I owe it all to the diet. Weight has been easy for me to make. I really recommend this diet, although everybody has their own approach when it comes to eating. Am I surprised I’m below 147 weeks before the fight? I’ve actually been on weight for more than a month. When (trainer) Nacho (Beristain) found out, when he saw I was about 148 at one point, he said, “You have to eat more.” I told him, “Nacho, I’m tired of eating. I’m eating everything I can.” A few days ago, I came out of the gym weighing 146. Nacho tells me again, “Eat more.” So I had two big plates of pasta, some deer meat, vegetables, two liters of water and I still weighed only148 in the morning. It’s really something else. The good thing is that I really do feel very strong.

    Divi had a hissy fit. I asked why there wasn't proof of Rehydration clauses past the rumor level and he cried about how Floyd is getting the same treatment when he isn't.

    There is a reason. Because the first choice failed to materialize because of drug accusations or decisions to take a vacation.

    In the absense of the first choice, May obviously, they went with good or lucrative fights. SO they were Top Ranks....big ****in deal. I don't give a **** if Arum ONLY pits his fighters vs. Top Rank fighters as long as they can make a good fight.

    It's really desperated that some fanatics look for ANY kind of excuse to discredit PAC. At least come up with something realistic. This whole "FIXED FIGHTS" and Rehydration clause is over board. I think the "weight draining" excuse is out there as well but at least there's at least a foundation for that excuse.
