    Floyd said he walks around at 147. I believe him, he doesnt put on weight between the weigh in and fight, its because he is always running and in the gym. He bulked up for Oscar, it was obvious, he had lumps and humps in his shoulders trying to put on muscle.

      I don't know about natural weight, but he didn't leave 130 or 135 behind because he was having trouble making weight. He could make weight just fine. He left because he wanted to make more money...and eventually he did.

      I think that if he'd have stayed at 135 that would have been his best weight class. I think he's proven since he left 135 that he'd have been a great 140 lber had he stayed there. But he did the same thing Pernell Whitaker did and that is make a home at 147.

      So, far some people are unimpressed which is kind of what happened to Pea. But if people are honest with themselves, Pea and Mayweather were small welters who just went there to get bigger paydays and wins over marquee names. It's not their ideal fighting weight.

        i'll say 135 or 140.

        he's big at 135 and light in the ass for 147 so i voted 140.

          I don't know how much I should read into this but when he was doing his thing with WWE, in the post Wrestlemania build but to his "showdown" with the Big Show they had a weigh in and with all of his cloths on he was 159 so I would say around 155.....but that scale could have been rigged for the show, but why? we get he is smaller than Big Show.....something to consider.....anyway if you want to see here is the link to that skit they did.

            Floyd fought like 28 or 27 fights out of his 39 at Super Featherweight(130). I would say he's a natural Junior Welterweight but can hold his own at WW.

              How much did he really "bulk up" for Oscar? Wasn't he like 150 by fight-time. Oh Wow, big bulking up program he was on; send me that program

              I think he was 149 for Hatton so he was up from the 147. Early period of WW he was right around 147.

              I think Malcolm has all the details; waiting for video evidence any time now.

                His BOXING weight, meaning as low as he can get without diminishing his skills too much, was 140 but might now be 147 because he won't fight Marquez at 140.
