The excuse is that Floyd is garbage, douche-bag type garbage. The punk is a cheat and a liar. He is afraid to fight the welter weights but he comes in one pound under the weight limit of an actual welter? Floyd is a punk and a coward.
I still think he can witch is why I am not happy with today. He did pack on a bit more muscle than usual but I still think if he truly wanted to he could make at LEAST 144. The backlash isnt woth the two lbs. Takes away from what should be a decent fight.
I had thought that myself, although I don't think I voiced it much. I'll eat my crow anyway. I watched Hatton-Mayweather a while ago and during the fight thought that Floyd could make 140 because his abs weren't that defined. But then I watched the weigh-in for Hatton and compared it to last night's weigh-in and realized that Floyd looked about the same each time, maybe just a little more cut this time though.
I think he added a couple pounds of muscle and that made it rougher on him to cut weight since he hardly has any fat to drop. So 140 is quite out now unless he wants to harm his body.
