    Sometimes losing the last few pounds is best left to do in the last week, so the fighter doesn't have to spend so much time at a weight he's too big for.

    If you remember the De La Hoya 24/7, Oscar was trying to make 147 for the first time in years, so he thought it was to make weight as soon as possible and live at the weight, so after training would be around 145. This backfired on him and made him a mummy needing IV's on fight night.

    Spending too much time at the target weight can be harmful for fighters who are too big for a weight. Margarito will lose a pound or 2 a day until the weigh in and only spend a couple days at 150. Losing the weight quick (but gradually) will let him put it back on quick too. Marg will be putting on some 10+ pounds after weighing in.
    Thanks for making sense... People always read what they wanna read... This article says nothing about Tony having trouble making weight... He's right where he needs to be...

      No, Oscar was 145 two weeks before the fight, in direct contrast to the point that QUE was making..... which just goes to show what an absolute joke that exhibition match was. WTF was Oscar thinking? And, where were his people?

        I think you are really only taking into account the punches from that night but if you notice also Mosley was bullying Margarito around the ring

        when have you ever seen any fighter bully Margarito? sure he lost to PWill but never did P push Tony around as if nothing. Not even Clottey who is technically bigger than Shane

        Tony faced a man not to be denied and bull strong that night
        I agree with WESS, but you made a great point.

        That was Shane's day.

          I think they have this under control.
          I agree, the weight will not be an issue.

            But still like to know what the weight-penalty clause is for this fight?

              I just want the BEST fighting the best. If Pac wants a title at 154 than Martinez (who's the same size as Margarito) is the man to fight! An old man in Mosley exposed Margarito. There is no reason for Pac to be fighting him as we all know how it will end......
              It's because Boxing has its own Puppetmasters that will pull the strings to make it look like a fight. In this case it's...
