Let me remind you that this "old man" is the Boxrec World ranked #1 lt-middle. And since when is Oscar "finished"? He has not taken such punishment as to make him "washed-up".As for making weight, all he needs is a good diet and exercise.
He fought at 150 just a few months ago, although I heard a rumour that he was 151. However it was only a "gimme' fight in which he won every round.....EVERY round.
The other day Oscar said that his natural weight now is from 144 to 140, and I tendc to believe him, since he certainly would not commit himself in such a high-profile fight, from which he hopes to make many 10's of millions, unless he was sure he'd be UNDER weight.
Still, I wouldn't put it past him to weigh in the first time with concealed weights attached to his body, to create a bit of excitement, and then after a heavy bout of exercise which will drain him ( he'll just unstrap the weights) then weigh in a half, or full lb under. This will make everyone certain that he's just exercised away all his chances, and THEN....he'll surprise everybody- including The Roach. But he won't surprise me.
Just my opinion.
