Can Floyd make 140?

[Benny Leonard]

Yes, but then why does he want Marquez at 144?

Same reason he wanted Hatton at 147; because it is less of a strain for your body to dehydrate and then try to rehydrate for the fight. At 147, which he was coming in around 146-149 by fight-time, all he has to do is take a piss and then jump on the scales, then drink a cup of water. At 140, you have to sweat it off and maybe even start taking pills to piss out the fluid...then you have to drink drink drink or stick an I.V. in your arm to rehydrate.

What's the point if you aren't going to weigh 140 by fight-time?
It's better to just concentrate on the fight instead of the weight/scales.

The object is to be at your best and all that training can go down the tubes if you don't dehydrate and rehydrate properly for the fight.

[larry x]

yes he can..

[Burner]

But nobody asked all that...

just can he make 140... yes/no.

I dont care what was asked....

I said yes.....

And the reason he aint 140 is because he aint fought in 2 years and hasnt weighed 140 in 5 years..what ****in sense does it make to get to 140 in your first fight back.

Some posters need to take off "the I hate floyd glasses" and use their ****ing head sometimes.

[Scott9945]

He can probably make the weight, but at this point he would be at his best at 147.

[NakiFan]

He should fight pac at 147

Thanks guys, I was being sarcastic though, lol.

And I answered........


Period...thats why he aint at 140 right now..he can make it...but it wouldnt be smart after a 2 year layoff and 5 years removed from weighing 140.

Simple.

He wasn't retired when he fought Hatton at 147.

Why didn't he go down then?

Your answer in advance,

"ricky called him out".

Ok, now that thats out of the way, why not take on Ricky at 140 and simultaneously hold not one, but

2 lineal world championships at the same time?

That would be pretty prestigious if you ask me and help make the claim as pound for pound best fighter in the sport.

Jose Luis Castillo was only 3 pounds over 135, but for whatever reason he couldn't make it.

Coralles was a few pounds over as well, but for some reason, couldn't make the weight,

Nate Campbell was a few pounds over, but for some reason, couldn't make the weight.

All three fighters looked thin enough, even though they were overweight.

Most people, when they reach their 30s, simply cannot get down to a desired weight.

Floyd is no different.

[blind4]

yes he can i think i can even go a little bit lower too

Ricky called him out and wanted the lineal title at 147 which is what FLOYD had.

[Vasyl’s dad]

So you're saying Ricky has more balls than Mayweather?

Thats nothing new,

but it doesn't change the fact that Mayweather can't get down to 140.
