Im surprised with all these Mayweather threads that weve never really talked about this. I mean we talk alot about his weight or whatever but this is still a little different. Ive never really seen a guy's body change like Floyd has, e****ally this late in his career. There is Floyd Pre-Oscar and then there is this new Floyd. I remember when he signed the Oscar fight I was worried that he may be too small to compete at 154 e****aly since Oscar just decapitated Mayorga. However, I kept saying that the great thing about the fight is that Floyd can move up in weight and that may help him physicaly when he comes back down. Like he might get up to 155 for the Oscar fight and when he comes back to WW, maybe he can stay at 155 and compete physicaly with the bigger guys. That never materialized as he only weighed 150 and entered the ring at 148 but the thing that stuck out like a sore thumb was the difference between him weighing in at 147 & 150. Those 3 pounds changed his body structure. His shoulders were huge, his chest was wider & thicker, and he was much more cut than before.
When he moved back down & fought Hatton, you could tell that he was smaller than the Oscar fight but still had that different phsyique. Then you see him at the WWE thing the other night in his tank top and he looks ripped again. Its like he's one big muscle. I dont know really want to make of it. The said thing is that unlike Pac, he's not gaining any weight with it or atleast he hasnt up til now. Maybe after the layoff he will finally gain weight. If he ever gets to 155 inside the ring then he will be hell for the WW's. The other thing I noticed though was with the added bulk & width in his chest & shoulders, it makes him look slower now. Its like a guy lifting too many weights. Even in his workouts he looks just like an overall slower cat now. I always tell people that he's going to be slower anyways at higher weights, with age, and now with rust but this still seems different. He looks more like a weight lifter throwing punches now. Maybe that adds on more power though and he can push guys around in the ring a little. Im definatly looking forward to seeing his in the ring weight and how he looks physicaly against JMM.
He wont get any credit for the win if he's 155 because cats hate him that much but in the bigger picture, he will be ready for any WW. He will still be the smallest man in the division but he'll be able to physicaly compete now. What do you guys think about his body change though or is it just me? Its not just about gaining weight either. Guys gain weight all the time but it doesnt change there body. Like Pac's body is the same but just gets bigger & built when he moves up but his body structure is the same. Floyd's body has changed, atleast his upper body has. Now he has not an ounce of fat. Even his face looks sharper now like he has no body fat at all. Hopefully, he gains weight with it and keeps all of his pure speed & quickness. He can still be most of these guys without the speed because of his overall skill & knowledge but speed always helps
