Team Pacquiao sets fight night weight restrictions?

[check hook]

So two fights ago he came under 160 against a speedy southpaw and won... So could it be that they see it as terms of success to come under 160 against speedy fighters?

prob rite......all i'm saying is that it would not surprise if there was something reg. rehydration in the contract.......

This much I understand. But look man I'm not here to hate on nobody, Pac is cool peoples.

hating is fine as long as you back it up with enough reason and logic. the stuffs you posted (i'm not saying you are, but your posts), they scream of ignorance and paranoia.

Bro I have never implied that... I don't get why you took it that way... Let me write again and hopefully you understand...

Two fights ago Clottey fought a speedy southpaw. Clottey came under 160. Clottey won the fight. Could it be that they are following that recipe of success and want to come in under 160 against another speedy southpaw?

Like I told shadeyfizzle yes that could be a possibility. But the fact that Clottey is Top Rank and DeJesus his new trainer has ties to Roach could mean something else.

link or it didnt happen.
you're saying that manny dictated those terms to DLH?

I can't post links yet because I haven't been very active in the forums even though I've been on here for years. But it looks like you were correct and I was wrong because I found this old article on ESPN and from the context of the article it is clear that there was not a fight-night stipulation. Here is what I found:

"De La Hoya has fought at weights as high as 160 pounds. Generally on fight night, he refuses to get on the "unofficial HBO scale." But Freddie Roach, who trained De La Hoya for his fight against Floyd Mayweather and has been training Pacquiao, says that De La Hoya gained 10 pounds after weighing in at 154 to face Mayweather. Roach expects a similar gain on Dec. 6; maybe more because Oscar will be drying out more to make the contract weight of 147 pounds.
The disparity in weight between De La Hoya and Pacquiao has led to complaints that boxing's Golden Boy is buying a gold-plated mismatch. Oscar is in danger of being seen as a school-yard bully who, after having lost to fighters his own size, is now picking on tough little guys." - ESPN

So yeah, I guess I have to renege on this one I was wrong. To TheSituation II, I was wrong my bad.

be prepared to be countered by more irrelevant ****.... they cant understand simple **** and they often stray to other data that doesnt apply.

do you also try to desperately find ties with 9/11 and how it was planned by the US government itself? how bout roswell and UFOs? princess diana's death by the royal family? apollo moon landing being shot on a studio? philadelphia experiment?

no offense but with that kind of mentality, i wonder how you even manage to sleep at night.
