With the exception of JMM all of Pac's opponnets were carefully handpicked. (and the JMM fights were probably seen as no power threats) He has not fought a fighter with the opposite of the items listed above in who knows how long!! Basically a fighter of color and now that he has an opportunity he wants to weight drain them to nullify their strengths.... what a farce !
    I agree, he has being using weight drain as a pre fight tactic, but I can't fault him for that.
    If I could I'd do the exact same

    In the spirit of fairness, the pre-fight tactic of "catch weight" wouldn't be necessary if fighters wouldn't resort to unnatural means to making a weightclass maximum. Which is actually a form of "cheating" and there are penalties written into the rules which address this issue. I agree, fighters also should not be tempted to use unnatural means to make weight. Mosley should have to work harder in the gym to make the weight naturally.
