Iv seen treads about people discssing what Floyds "natural weight" is, and i must say im stunned by what some people have come up with. The most ridiculous post I read said Floyd walks around at 190..nonsense..Bhop walks around at round 182, how in the hell would Floyd put on that weight without lookin flabby which he does not from the last clips and photos iv seen of him.
People on here are not using their brains..
Natural weight is what you walk around at normally when not in intensive training and dieting..Floyd was walking around not to far off 147 when he was still active. Probably guessing mid 150s judging by post fight photos. He was always in shape and rarely put on to much weight in between fights as he was constantly in the gym. Hence why Floyd never had trouble making weight except at the tail end of his 130lbs days when his frame was becoming to big to be a super father weight.
Other fighters at WW pile on the pounds after weigh in. Clottey in his fight against judah for example put on a stone or more between weigh in and the fight. Margarito does similar.
I believe Floyd could make 140lbs without to much problem. In my opinion he just believes he has he skills to be able to beat bigger fighters for bigger paydays at 147. While in my opinion he would beat Cotto, Mosley and Margarito(w/o plaster), I think he is cherry picking his fights to maximise income with minimum risk. But people who say he is only fighting smaller fighters are ignorant as his last to fights have been to DelaHoya who was at about 160lbs at fight night and Ricky Hatton who self confesses he aims to weigh 154 at fight night, making him heavier than Floyd on the night.
As a fan of boxing and Floyd I would love to see him fight Mosley and Cotto I see Mosley as the harder opponent due to his size and power. I believe he is making sure his reflexes are still there against an opponent lik Marquez who he knows is not a puncher, so would not pose to many problems at 147 for him,
Feel free to ridicule me..

A Boxers natural weight is the lowest weight he can make comfortably.
