I know exactly what I'm talking about, perhaps you are just having problems reading.

From your statement, I see that you also think Mosley shouldn't be fighting at Welterweight either.


You can be of the opinion that Mosley can't make the catchweigh and not weight drained. but I think it's a stretch. Mosley met Cotto at 146.25, Mosley will be fine at 144/145 catchweigh.
Where did I say that? Mosley has proven that he is fine at 147.

To address your other points, Adam already explained how even a few pounds can make a big difference for a fighter. If you can't understand (or admit) that then there is no reason to continue this discussion with you.
I'm sorry, you didn't, but your supporting the same argument that Mosley can't make shed the few pounds without being weight drained. If that is true, then Mosley shouldn't be fighting at Welterweight. Is that not what part of what weightclasses are about? "To keep fighters from having an unfair weight advantage".

Now, I fully understand that it's a valid point for fighters below their weightclass but Mosley is fighting within his weightclass. To say that he'd be weight drained is just a premise for losing in advance.

If Mosley loses, he loses to a better fighter, not because he couldn't plan a proper weight program. Or do you think he's invested in the "De La Hoya fighter's netrution plan". If so it makes Mosley an idiot as well as a loser. Mosley doesn't strike me as an idiot.
