you are using 1 extreme anomaly of an example. Oscar lost because he was old & washed up. not because of the weight. FFS, stevie forbes busted him up. Sure, he could have put up a better fight vs pac had he weighed in at 154, but the results would have been the same. i have posted several examples in the thread of this.
24 hr. RE-HYDRATION RULE makes CRITICISM of CATCHWEIGHT fights ILLEGITIMATE

Pay attention to what I wrote. I mentioned dehydration because that is an easy way to lose weight for many boxers-through fluid loss. I've known boxers and wrestlers that needed to make weight and it was through dehydration. As a fighter it makes sense to dehydrate (versus not eat, for example) because you are only losing fluids, not muscle mass. I am not saying that in all cases a catch-weight affects the fighters, I am saying that it can and does have an affect in some cases. You are acting under the assumption that catch-weights don't have an affect at all. Unfortunately, that is a false assumption. Rapid weight loss (by whatever means) can have an affect-as I have shown you with the information about one of the methods of rapid weight loss. You can continue to put up examples of catch-weight bouts if you like, but that does not change the fact that rapid weight loss can be damaging.Comment

rapid weight loss? you act as if guys didnt know what their target weight is. You act as if fighters have 1 or 2 days to lose weight. They know what their target weight is when they signed up for the fight & they have the whole training camp to manage their weight. Ive given you tons of examples on bigger fighters having to make catcweights & not having a effect on the outcome of the fight. Ive given you examples of fighters who continually fight in divisions that are too small for them hence they are "weight drained" but still win.
Catchweights were made to prevent fight cancellations, not because of medical malfeasance.Comment

Again, you can continue to list examples of fighters that have gone on to win catch-weight bouts after competing in higher weight classes, but that does not mean that losing weight quickly doesn't affect your health in all cases. And yes, the fighters do know their weight and they do have time to reach said weight, however, if they are managing their weight so well, why do so many rehydrate 24 hours before the bout? I'll tell you why, it is because they dehydrated to make weight. Dehydration results in rapid weight loss and that is why they use it. If dehydration did not lower your weight (quickly), there would be no point.Comment

I like how u always Cop out with the "stop acting like u do research on catchweights, no one does".
Do u really think no one does research on WEIGHT LOSS in general?
Did u even get my messages? Lmao
Did u get the ones where I explain how the 3 examples u placed r bad examples? Where I say The catchweight for Bernard was 2 pounds. And he ended up weight 3 pounds under the limit. Oscar had trouble at moving up in weight and as a result got beat.
Where I explain that Pernell Whitaker weight in at 140 3 fights earlier so the catchweight didn't have that kind of affect on him. It was actually 2 140lbers fighting at welterweight, which is why he still dominated.
I mean seriously did u just convince urself that I was "pretending" and ignore me? I really thought u were a boxing fan. U disappointed me, ur just a *******.Comment

It's very simple...the more you have to rehydrate due to a catchwight will have more of an adverse effect on your health than rehydrating from a specified weight of a certain weightclass. You refer to this as a placebo effect; my best advice is to drain yourself 10-15 lbs and then rehydrate and compete in something and see how well you do...most chances are, YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND!Comment

you muggy **********faceasswipe,
i answered every pm you sent me. you were the one that hasnt responded to my last one. oscar weighed in at 155 vs hopkins. one freaking pound for a guy who was a 154 pounder the last half of his career. now he has trouble because of 1 lb? what a ****ing nincom****ingpoop you are.

i have posted several examples of fighters who are allegedly "weight drained" yet continually win without problems. I suggest you do the same. Please save the oscar at 147 answer.
I got some more examples,
kermit cintron rehydrates close to super middle fighting at 154 & 147. Joshua clottey is another one that rehydrates to insane amount. Stop trying to play fake doctor online. You want to use literal medical examples of rehydration & use it to compare to boxers who have nutritionists & trainers & who have a whole training camp to make the targeted weight. they do it gradually over the course of a training camp time.
Stop trying to use literal medical definitions of dehydration & act like these boxers are rawandan refugees who are wandering in the african jungle who havent eaten & drank anything in weeks. Not even close to the same situation as a professional boxer trained to make weight.

In the PM I sent u I specified that Oscar has trouble "fighting" Middleweights. If u'd have responded to that one and not been so much of a *******ed dum fu.k, u'd know that.
And I already posted reasons why ur examples don't support ur argument. But of course u don't listen to that becuz ur a ******* and if it doesn't support Pacquiao it's automatically connected to Floyd, and u don't bother acknowledging it. Ur a piece of walking shyt that wishes it fell out of Pacquiao's ass.Last edited by JDezi4; 10-09-2010, 10:31 AM.Comment
