Why Cant Floyd Gain Weight?

[jrv1932]

And wouldn't it be nice if all fighters fought at their natural weight and didn't have to kill themselves to compete in a lower division so they would have more success? Although Floyd should fight the best WW since he CHOSE to compete their, he should be applauded for fighting at his natural weight. Him fighting at WW is the same as Miguel Cotto and SSM fighting at MW because that's what they enter the ring at. Like it or not, it is fact. But, because Floyd is the minority here in the way he does this, nobody gives him that credit because almost every other fighter does it the other way.

why cant he gain weight??thats all he's been doing his entire career..he started at 130 and went to 154...weight doesnt factor into his greatness

[jrv1932]

Take a few of the top few fighters in the world and ask yourself how effective they would be if they came in within a pound or two of their weight division.

Cotto 147(around 160 at fight time) would he be effective if he came into the ring only 1 or 2 pounds more?

SSM 147(160 plus)

Pwill 10-15 plus minimum depending on division.

The list goes on and on but I think Manny could do it as well and be great still if he was fighting 140 or 147, but not at 135 or below.

No disrespect to the other guys because they are just using the system that's currently in place for weigh ins and restrictions, but the weight DOES make a difference

I've met Floyd,Ricky,Oscar and many more.Floyd is a very small guy,I doubt very much he is even the 5'8 they claim him to be.
