Don't think you would understand, but at least i tried to squeeze some more intellect in that brain of yours. Cheers!!
I'm sorry, but if you told one guy to gain 17 lbs if he felt like it, and told another guy to lose 17 lbs, that does not make it an even fight.

That's the worst logic I have even heard.
Mate its not like pacman was used to that weight '147' He jumped 17 lbs that is a feat in in itself. That's Henry armstrong category bro. Manny started @ 112 and fought dlh @ 147 Knowing that fighting Dlh at 147 still not an even match even 'if' he was weight drained. Fact Hatton even said Dlh looked good in the scales the day before the fight making the betting odds for Dlh. You see its just how manny dismantled Dlh. If it was lesser fighter, Dlh would have survived like how he did with steve forbes. Larry Merchant even mentioned its not the age but the style that did it for Oscar. Manny was simply the better man. Even in sentana sports, Hatton said 'brilliant' so many times. Manny was just that good on that night. The commentator said every fighter preps up for a fight. A weight drained fighter means he has to shell out a lot of pounds of the day of the weigh-in. That wasn't the case for oscar he was floating around 145 lbs during training as seen on 24/7. So he didn't have to lose weight during the weight-in. He was really slim from eating kangaroo meat. There you go.
Well put. I totally agree with you. As I have been saying, DLH did not have a problem going down in weight. Many may not agree with me but I would attribute Pac's win over DLH to his style and speed. Saying that it was because DLH was weight-drained is total disrespect for Pac's talent.

I see no reason to debate with people who doesn't know how to give respect where it is due.
