    Did DLH ever explain why he didnt rehydrate at all for his Pacquiao fight?

    did he think coming in lighter was going to make him faster or something?

      his game plan was to come in light... and fast...


      he made weight even before he started training (he was training at ~150 i think)

              He competely overtrained. He should have never fought anywhere below 150 at that point in his career

                People forget he also looked pretty ****ty against Stevie Forbes prior, so it wasn't just the weight.

                Also, Freddie Roach says he say IV marks on his arms in the ring, so it's possible he rehydrated after the morning weigh in and we'll never know how much he truly weighed that night.

                  I think partially he wanted to be light so when "he beat" Pacquaio there wouldn't be any excuses on the weight. They couldn't say he dwarfed Pacquaio.

                  Bad idea.
