Im in no way down playing DLH. Im a fan of his myself. I just know that he clearly loss to the better fighter that night. It was not that he wasnt there or drained...It was Pac was on that night....Comment

His weight tells the tale , all the bull**** in the world dont hide what Oscar weighed , he killed himself on the scales before the fight started , Roach even said when he weighed in so light he was gone , Oscar was weight drained in every sense of what the meaning of weight drained is .Comment

When you get to 36 years of age, losing any weight is difficult. Oscar was a dead man walking in that fight. It was still a great win for Pac, but people need to remember that wasn't a healthy De La Hoya.Comment

there was nothing to rehydrate. he weighed 150 a month before the fight. that's why he only gained 2 pounds after the weight in. very ****** strategy to reset your natural weight to a welterweight so far in advance of the fight.Comment

with you on that. ODLH didn't even think of using the weight-drained thing, it was the fat yank US press who kept offering it up to him on a plate as an excuse, eventually Oscar starting deluding himself into agreeing with them.Comment
