I think you know that it's Dela Hoya's choice to fight at 147 right?
After a failed rematch with Floyd (because DLH wanted the bigger split) DLH went on to negotiate with Hatton who is a 140 pounder. But Hatton said he's not ready yet and needs couple of fights more. Then DLH went on saying he will fight the Margarito-Cotto winner...then Marg won...DLH did not want anything to do with Marg so he went on picking Pac and got criticized for it.
DLH wanted to prove he can make 147, and he did but got obsessed with it, he had a chance to rehydrate but did not bother to do it.
DLH also picked on Floyd and made him come up to 154...choose his gloves etc. Good thing Floyd got away with the SD. It should teach DLH to pick someone his own size. It hurts more when a smaller fighter beats you.
