        I don't know but Pacquiao beat the crap out of DLH. I was surprised that fight wasn't closer than it was

          Let’s not try to blame everything on the scales. Dela Hoya F.ked up his weight management which was the bigger factor. He dehydrated too early and prematurely. There’s no rehydration when your body is accustomed to your dehydrated state months before the fight. Let alone 143?

            Pacquiao made De La Hoya so swollen, Oscar was probably back to 160 while leaving the ring.

              Extremely, when Pacman outweighed on fight night. He totally botched the weight management, then got his ass beat.

                  any mid-top level welter would have beaten Hoya that night

                  and so would the top junior welters

                  Roach, upon noticing IV marks at the weigh-in: " we got him "

                    It was his own fault. He experimented with a ****** wrong way to make weight. Instead of cutting lots of weight a day before the fight and putting the lost fluids back right after the weigh in Oscar got his weight below 147 weeks before the fight. It was a terrible idea and in weakened him a lot.
