Weight Gain: De Le Hoya vs Pac

The fact that he's moved up the weights isn't too amazing. It's the fact that he moved through the weights and has not lost any explosiveness. Oscar got less explosive as he moved up in weight!

I think Pacman was just fighting at too small of a weight to begin with.

I think your right...even on his first 112 lbs title Pac can't even defend the title i think it was first title defense bcoz of overweight killing himself too much and likely was beaten and lose.

If we look out closely in his previous opponent (pre Barrera) he was bigger and taller most to his opponent, with the exception with Nadal Hussien at 122.

No doubt he was really tryin to be small at the beginning, when i look at him he was really malnourished on that time coz of hardships comin from a third world.

Totally agree. You can't look at just weight gain and leave it at that. Any fighter can go up in weight classes. Its how that fighter does and looks is what would raise the eyebrows. Especially being in the steroid era its natural to at least be open to the possibility anyone can be on it.
