    This means his body had an insane amount of trouble rehydrating. Oscar botched his enormous weight cut and his body began to shut down and he couldn't get the weight back on fast enough. I heard something about IV marks all on his arm or something but I can't recall.

    Doesn't make the win anything less than a cash out to me either way.

    It was reported that Oscar was lighter than Pacquiao in the ring, which is insane for a fighter who likely wasn't 147lbs even when he actually fought at that weight 9 years before the fight. His age didn't help either.

    You mean he couldn't rehydrate anything at all over 30 hours? Couldn't eat or drink anything?

    That I have very hard to believe.

    1. Mosley 1
    2. Mayweather
    3. Hopkins
    4. Tito (he didn’t really win)
    5. Mosley II (didn’t really win either and was probably roided)



    6. Pacquiao

    the explanation I heard was that he got down to 147 a week or two before the fight and it became his walk around weight hence the lack of a blow up overnight. Could most certainly be wrong but he clearly appeared to go about the weight the wrong way

    Out of curiosity regarding the Pacquiao win, do you guys think the fight plays out vastly different if that Pacquiao faces the Oscar that fought Floyd?

    I'm not sure. Oscar tended to stray from his game plan late in fights, but Pacquiao struggled and lost to Marquez who was physically inferior to Oscar and not far apart in terms of skills. It would probably be one those Oscar fights that could go either way after 12.
