    Chris Byrd comes to mind. He was at a higher weight though so it wasn't as severe. Then again he had to lose a lot more.

    One of the main reasons you see old fighters get fat and move up for the paycheque, rather than down.

    His team tried to focus on speed and it obviousy went very wrong

    Cutting the weight effected him, it does not matter that he was at the weight a month before

    ok.

    what you say is probably possible. However the fact that there are numerous reports saying he was under 147 weeks before the fight. When you'd normaly look to be about 155-160 2 weeks before the fight. I think he was just that weight.

    Drained refers to draining your body of liquid, which you then put back into your body. Just liquid. Do a small stomach shouldnt matter.

    I think Oscar, was shot, but not drained personally.

    I also think Oscar could still have beaten a 2nd tier fighter on that night, like a forbes. Part of the demlition has to do with Pac being a world class ligt welter/welter, which noone expected, and Oscar centainly didn't have anything left to deal with that.

    Wow, 53% picked Oscar to win outright. Many of these names are the same guys who love to use the phrase "you don't know **** about boxing". Another thing, concerning many of these medical claims and theories, I can't find anything in medical journals to support these assertions. I guess we're suppose to just go with, "I heard it from someone that..." or "my professor told me that...". That's about as empirically sound as "dat mutha****a on a-side meth" or "he on roids, fo real".

    cant believe people trying to justify that Oscar was not drained.

    its like pac/floyd having to make 130 now, it was a decade since oscar had been down at that weight.

    Oscar cheated everyone who brought a PPV, made a mockery, knew he wasnt himself, getting his ass handed in sparring by lightweights...but he got batterd all around the ring for it.

    he got paid a pretty dollar to be weight drained then batterd, and made to say 'no mas'.

    i'd do that **** too.

    drained means draining your body of liquid to make weight.

    Oscar didn't have to do this because he weighed less than 147 a month before the fight.

    Getting down to that weight affected him. But he wasn't drained. He was just a shot fighter.

    Still many people overlooked that and picked DLH to at least carry Pacquiao for 2 rounds only to knock him sparks out in 3. You can try to downgrade this victory all you want, Pacquiao sure as hell wasn't going to move up three weight divisions, he agreed to two with DLH having to make some sort of sacrifice being the bigger man already. Fact is, no one gave Pacquiao a chance in this once and now the same people that didn't give him a chance give him zero credit for the win. :nut

    Nobody knew DLH was a drunk coke head at that time that's why a lot of people including myself pick him to win.

    and Oscar could have murdered pac with the jab alone. Isal aka UliUli was wrong.
