    No, but your body would be starved of vital nutrients and would not function normally. You would be starved of energy, and would be very lethargic (assuming you are a 160+lb guy who has grown into that particular weight, and decide to lose close to 20lbs in a matter of weeks).

    This reminds me of an article I read by Adam Booth, he wrote for Sky Sports after Oscars retirement where he talks about the effect Oscar had on him (named his own son Oscar I believe). Its good to see the interviewer was in fact Booth.

    Some of you do not know that definition of "weight drained".

    Weight drained means losing weight the night before the fight. Losing weight weeks before a fight is called diet.

    Oscar is like Sugar Ray Leonard. Both of them put on an act for the camera. Their opponents Shane Mosley and Thomas Hearns come off as more real.

    No...and I don't think I even come close to implying that, do I? :huh

    It is called a diet, but with him stating that he was 141lbs weeks before the bout (if that's true)...does that mean he wasn't drained? Of course it doesn't. He still had to train at that point, he still had to put his body through heavy workouts whilst trying to find the right balance in weight.

    141lbs was far too low like De La Hoya states, which in my opinion makes him drained. I wouldn't be surprised if he was suffering dizziness and spells of being lightheaded even at that point, weeks before the bout.

    Oscar was always a class act when he was a fighter. His foray into the promoting world has brought out the worst in him at times, but he has earned the benefit of the doubt in my mind.

    Thanks for this video.

    Losing too much weight makes you weak and the same thing is being underweight. He said it himself, he felt weak.

    :deal

    Seriously, so these guys on the biggest loser who used to weigh 400+ lbs that are now 200lbs are considered weight-drained because they used to weigh 400+lbs? :lol:
