You areright that it would have possibly been the same result but JMM would have looked a heck of a lot better had Floyd had to sacrifice his weight. It was clear that JMM was really slow, I could see a difference in his speed even without the contrast of Mayweather's reflexes.
I gained some weight a while back, around 12 lbs from lifting a lot of weights and I noticed that my speed was greatly diminished. I felt like I had weights attached to my arms and my reflexes were slow as well. This is just my personal experience with weight gain, so I know that it can have an affect on some people, others seem to be able to add weight and carry speed.
JMM did hit Floyd with some flush shots but they had little steam on them and did not hurt Floyd, at least it looked like they did not hurt him. I'd guess the weight made a big difference but judging by what I saw, Floyd would have won anyway had they both been at the same weight (some weight where Floyd had to sacrifice a little) but JMM would have looked a little better.
