    What does that have to do with what I said? I was asking if somebody could provide some insight on why he was in his sweatsuit sparring, losing waterweight with weeks still to go? Of course he's supposed to be in the sauna in his sweatsuit now cutting weight.

    Thats what they would have you believe he is a natural 147 lber evidenced by his weighins on fight night for his last several.

    This is what Ariza and Roach said....
    http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/11/12/10/weighty-problem-hounds-margarito

    “If you are close to the weight and you’re not having problems in camp, you don’t go running at eight o’clock at night,” said Ariza without sharing any other details to the media.

    “You can’t tell me that. You can tell everybody else who don’t know **** about boxing but you’re not gonna tell me that.”

    Ariza is strongly convinced that Margarito is overweight, and in Wednesday’s final press conference for Saturday’s big fight at the Cowboys Stadium, he saw something in the Mexican challenger.
    “He’s grossly emaciated and he’s gaunt. That’s why he was wearing the sunglasses. He just don’t want to give away the signs in his eyes. It probably is true that he was pounds away from the weight the whole camp,” he said.

    But there are reports as well, as early as a week ago, that Margarito had made weight. Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said that’s not a good sign either because fighters normally make weight at the day of the weigh-in.

    “That’s what he’s saying?” asked Ariza.

    “I don’t know. I’ve never had any of my fighters with plastics since day one and weigh-in day with plastics. He doesn’t look good to me,” he said, referring to the sweatsuits.

    “I’ve been in this business for a long time and I know how a fighter should look like at the scales. On Friday you’ll see for yourselves. I think he’s gonna make the weight but I think he’s gonna kill himself to make the weight. He’s going to look like a shell.”

    The catchweight king strikes again. Margo is a fool or he would just come in at 154 on the dot just to see the look on Roach's face.

    I'm sure there is a weight clause if he comes in overweight....The fight should have been at 154, but Tony signed the dotted line...It is what it is...

    ya Floyd came in at 150 against Oscar with no catch weight. Pacquaio depends on these catch weights way too much

    I'll go by what Margo and his trainer have been saying which is taht he's in great shape. He looked in amazing shape in training camp. Almost every fighter has to cut down in weight during the last few days. If margo is 'drained here' then he was must have been a damn skeleton against Cotto and Mosley.

    :think Do you really believe his trainer though?

    Is that so when pac slaughters him like a baby goat he will be ranked goat by pacturds?

    or are you dumb enough to think margo trainer is going to say
    "yeah we finding it ard to make weight please pac hit him in the body to slow him down some more".

    And are you forgetting that he was already a big fighter at welter that happened to have almost two damn years off fighting, of course he is going to have difficulty.

    What weigh-in's would that be sweetheart? He weighed 149 on Fight Night against Oscar. Most 'natural' 147's like Cotto and Mosley weigh in the late 150's, Mosley used to weigh-in at 160.

    He has to eat tonnes and tonnes of calories to cover what he's losing. The way he trains, if consumed half as many calories as he has to now to replenish what's lost, he could make 140 easily enough.

    He fought earlier this year. And the year before. Almost all fighters have to cut down a bit the last few days. You always weigh a bit above whatever weight class your fighting in.

    Margo was definitely drained for the Mosley fight but that's bc he had to lose like 30 pounds. He was already in decent shape when this fight was negotiated.
