That's a sad yet inspiring picture. He made it a long way from that point. Crazy what HUNGER, Motivation, Focus, Sacrifice and Determination can accomplish.
Cotto and Margarito OFFICIALLY Oscar unofficially, but certainly and even more so than the above two, likely. Both Morales rematches have cases which could be made.

Every fighter says they are perfect before the fight, de la hoya said the same thing, even though he looked like a zombie. Cotto later said he wasnt fine, that he will never sacrifice his health like that again.
barrera wasent weight drained.. pacs style would have always given barrera trouble.. barrera was past prime and that def gave him problems but i feel pac was always going to be barreras kryptonite (this all coming from a massive barrera fan) morales is a diff story though.. coming off a loss and still wins against pac .. so the rematch they step it up a notch and weight drain him (notice the fight was great up until the later rounds where morales's legs went.. this is a big sign of a fighter being drained) hell watch the weigh in for pac morales 2 and 3 ... morales looks like an african sponsor child
at cotto and margarito drained. If they were they would not have survived 5 rounds with pac. The margarito that fought pac was a beast and would have beat any of the current WW's today.
right back at you with the margarito was a beast? he's a cheating hypejob, nothing more. and yes, pac had to drain the hypejob cheater just to win. 150 is no weight class.
Margarito is a career welter. If Pacquiao didn't throw him a bone and had it at 147 people wouldn't be bitching over the word "catchweight"
That's why it's called a catchweight which has been a part of boxing since forever you noob. A drained fighter does not give pac a brutal fight, pac had to dig deep in that fight. Very underrated win for pac over a 168 pound margarito.
******ed comments on here. Completely retarted nonsence. Morales was done at that weight in the 3rd fights. De La Hoya was Shot. But not drained, He just got his weght stupidly low. He was on weight for that fight 2 weeks before. Thats why he didnt rehydrate. He had nowhere to rehydrate to. Cotto looked very good against Pac. Margarito is a career welter, who got an extra 3 pounds t play with. No chance was he weight drained. The comments on here are retarted.
