Do people forget Mayweather fought DLH at 154?

First to TS: Oscar was healthy but still past his prime.
now to this post: It's all about actual size of the fighter. We are talking about Hatton who doesn't weigh 140 pounds on fight-night going up against Floyd who back then was coming in around 149 by fight-night. Let's cut the b.s. with the scales and look at the actual fighters weight. If anything, not cutting weight for the scales allowed Hatton to be 100% and of course Floyd.
Now if this was Roach, he would want Floyd to cut weight for the scales because Floyd would have to focus on making weight and that may cost him.
JMM: no argument.
But hell, for once we were able to have two fighters that didn't have to cut weight and had the option to show up healthy. You gain what you can to stay healthy.
Weight-divisions are kind of b.s. when you think about it.Comment
