i'm sure he did, but the thing that gets me about these fighters is that they don't stay in great shape all year around like a mayweather or a hopkins who are gym ****, yet, of course they won't admit they are weight drained because they are fighters but they talk the **** they talk but don't really prepare their bodies well, like what hatton did against collazo, but he still won, or what corralles did with mayweather, it's no excuse. prepare your bodies in advance, change your workout regiment, don't make albums like roy jones and then come back thinking your skills will get the job done even if your body is drained from weight issues. don't go out and party hard like a gatti, who would not have beaten mayweather at any weight anyway, but would have put up a better fight seeing how when he was focused, he came into his fights in great shape and not weight drained.

all these fighters, no matter who they are know that this sport is no joke, and they know they have to be in shape at all time. no excuses, which is why i admire hopkin's an dmayweather's training regiment and drive, because they talk **** but stay in shape and train like madmen to keep in shape, which is a huge reason why they're at where they are at today. they know what it takes.

in all honesty, if these guys did that, they wouldnt sustain so many problems in the ring, swelling, lack of strength late in the fight is all due to fluctuating your weight. anyone who walks around at 180 something and then gets down to 140/147 is going to have the swell job of a lifetime if they take too many to the face.

I heard Butterbean almost killed himself to make the weight for his last fight.

Well, Duk Koo Kim most likely died as a result of dehydrating himself prior to the Mancini fight as dehydrated fighters are highly prone to brain injuries. This is the real danger of weight draining.

And G-Man almost died because he came into the Benn fight already brain damaged by most accounts.
