there's the weight gain, although sometimes it's due to lack of dedication, stamina problems in a fighter who would usually have at least decent stamina, very low punch output, pushed punches, all of the above are clear signs, there are also cases in which a fighter looks sickly (Morales in the last Pacquiao fight, and others)
I will admit that I don't look at a lot of weigh-ins but I do remember the photos from Morales - Pacquiao 3 and Morales looked like death. I knew right there that the fight leaning in Pac's favor.
