148/165=A welterweight beat a tough game middleweight tonight

Damn thats crazy marcos had 17 pounds on him lol Bad move for Maidana to rehydrate 17pounds, probably did him more harm than good.

They are both natural welterweights. Floyd couldn't get down past 146 half a century ago when he fought Marquez and Maidana had no problem making weight. The only reason Floyd doesn't bulk up like other welterweights is because he has a lot of speed but no power. Bulking up would cost him his main strength while not improving his power enough to really hurt people. It's not the weight that's an issue; it's Floyd denying Maidana a legal comission-approved glove. This is not true. He actually does try to come in heavier but he can't. When you listen to his interviews against Oscar, Mosley, etc... He said he tries to come in at at least 150 and he ate a few big meals, but he said he was in such tip top shape that his body wouldn't gain any weight.

Floyd's weight is what they declare and his camp has been lying on fight night for a while now...

Floyd has a strange body. Everyone thought Mayweather looked bigger despite the weight difference. Floyd has thin bones I believe, which is why he has hand problems. Bones are what weigh the most in you're body. And yeah, 165lb is deep into Super Middleweight territory

Edit your title 165 is SUPER Middle weight.

And he struggled. The smaller Pacquiao beat the sheet out of Margarito who was bigger than Maidana. Maidana is not Margarito and Margarito is not Maidana. And after the fight with Margarito, Pacquaio has never fought another guy @ 150 lbs again. Even Pacquaio said he got hurt in that fight. And Roach admitted that the size difference was an issue.

They walk around that weight year-round, no problems. Maidana on the other hand DOES NOT NATURALLY walk around between 147 and 150 lbs. Not even close. And this goes for Adrien Broner as well as many Welterweights. Bradley also walks around well above 160 lbs. But the difference with Bradley is that he just doesn't rehydrate so much on fight night, he stays between 147 lbs and 150 lbs. But then balloons back up in weight in between fights. Mayweather and Pacquaio don't do this kinda thing.

Maidana rehydrated that much, man he should have looked like ***** in the ring rehydrating that much. He put on a show, much respect to a 12-1 underdog who made the fight entertaining. And no Floyd, you did not fight the way you did to please the fans, Maidana brought it. Good effort, waiting to rewatch the fight so I can actually score it..it was definitely a close one.

Mayweather fans before fight: Mayweather bigger doe Mayweather stronger doe Mayweather fans after fight: It was close because Maidana a MW doe I always knew that Maidana would be the bigger guy. When fighting against Broner, Maidana weighed 161 lbs. So weight advantage was going to be a known fact. Maidana weighed the same as Canelo did when he fought Floyd, which is kinda crazy.

Mayweather weighs 148 tonight. Maidana 165— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) May 4, 2014 How can you really say Floyd was the bigger fighter? :rofl: Come on man. By exactly what I said. Maidana has always been flabby - if he were as lean as Floyd he'd weight about the same. Maidana is just stronger.

It also could of been one of the factors why he faded as the fight wore on.

Floyd is the bigger fighter - check the reach/height and overall lean muscle mass. Mayweather weighs 148 tonight. Maidana 165— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) May 4, 2014 How can you really say Floyd was the bigger fighter? :rofl: Come on man.

Mayweather fans before fight: Mayweather bigger doe Mayweather stronger doe Mayweather fans after fight: It was close because Maidana a MW doe don't forget the clasic "he is gonna gatt'd him" when the only fighter that floyd ever gatti'd was arturo him self (the shell of arturo actually)

Hahahaha, I actually thought Mayweather looked a lot bigger than Maidana tonight. Taller, bulkier, longer reach. Hahahaha.
