    WOW, HE LOOKS AWESOME, I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM IN THAT SHAPE BEFORE :lol: :lol: :lol: ....

    REALISTICALLY, I HAVE HARDLY EVER NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE ON ANY FIGHTER....MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE WITH OSCAR, AND ALOT WITH JAMES TONEY....BUT BESIDES THAT, THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME ALL THE DAMN TIME :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Because the air brushing techniques just get better and better.

    Mosely has a 36 pack for this fight.

    Because fighters look better in some weigh-ins than in others. For example Cotto, his weigh-ins at 140 he looked drained to hell but for this fight he looks great.

    good point freddy...remember Morales after that Velocity Training BS? They all rehydrate afterwards so they look flabby or whatever come fight time.

    Weigh in pics are like cosmetic photoshoots..

    Heavyweights need not even do it.. its a photo opportunity for press...

    Does Fernando Vargas ring a bell. Remember when the weigh in pics against DLH. Vargas actually had a 6 pack which he never had before. Of course it was roids, but still.

    I hear you on this one. Whatever happened to the 13th Round? I know you haven't done it in awhile but never read as to why you stopped. I'm guessing it was time consuming. Either way...if you ever bring it back, I'll be watching! 13th Round was good ****!

    They look better in the pictures, in the video Cotto looks like a cadaver very drained similar when he was 140 pounder skin an bones.
