This was my line of thinking originally, but now the more I think about all of stories, reports and fights we've all seen...The question becomes...Who knows for certain? How many fighters shouldn't have lost to certain opponents or even just fought better, but fought like crap because of weight drain/dehydration/malnutrition and other complications brought on by something as simple as hydration. Im sure it'll probably have its own thread soon enough.
Could gatti have fought better against floyd? Could roy have done better against Tarver? Cotto against Manny? Geale against cotto? if they were given these injections. In certain cases maybe they were an lost anyway (depending on what the overseeing authorities allowed)... but how do we know for certain? is this the (partial) antidote to being weight drained by an opponent?
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Mayweather has cheated, the facts seem fairly clear. The fight should be changed to a NC. The biggest fight ever is a dud. Then fans should sue the shit out of Floyd for it too. Another cheat in a growing list.
What prevented this information from coming out till now?
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
The question I have is... is this just the opposite of the Chavez Jr. diuretic issue. I mean if he received a ban for testing positive for something that helped him crap the water weight away. Could he have just sat in a sauna for extra hours before the weigh in been helped to the scales and then been issued the same IV to rehydrate overnight to his usual 20 lbs over? If the NY state athletic commission and Gatti could be sued by gamache for purging and then gaining enough weight (19lbs- if you believe there was no scale tampering) overnight naturally to end gamache's career with punches... How does it become a non issue now to do it unnaturally?

I am starting to hate Floyd even more than I did before. How dare he manipulate the process of drug testing to suit himself. How long has he been doing it? Floyd claimed the higher moral ground on drug testing and yet he has been exposed.
I believe it is deliberately leaked to sell more ppv fights
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Everything was going along swimmingly for Floyd until he picked Berto, now with the PPVs in the tank Floyd has decided to spice things up! I don't think it will help much as few fans are interested in Berto vs Floyd. If it wasn't for the undercard it would be a dud. I'm not buying this one.
You know how you get so sick of a subject that's been beaten to death that you don't care what else gets drudged up?
Who gives a flying one?!?!?
Damn! This is like being killed slowly with a nail clipper.
Not only was this the most disappointing "Fight of the Millennium" in recorded history.....
NOW it's being rehashed, regurgitated, dragged through the mud, made into tabloid fodder......
Bad shoulders, illegal IV's, blah, blah, blah.
The fight sucked..... we should all forget it ever happened..... and look forward to the next fight that will restore some of the luster that was lost with this mega-fiasco.
This is the only floyd fight I wont be paying for...please please can someone pm me some streams..thank you.
