    Are they afraid to reveal that he most likely weights between 160-165 these days?

    He looked at least 160 against JMM and he looked massive against Mosley.


    What gives?
    I also wanna know cause floyd gotta be around 160 lbs on fight night. that dude looked as big as mosley and was actually stronger than mosley in the ring.

      its obvious he is lying, the man couldnt make 144 vs marquez, he just couldnt make it. we know he couldnt make it as he loves his money, why he pay 600k instead of making weight?

      The guy weighs around 155 during fight night in my opinion, not 147 as he claims.

        Mayweather looked much bigger on top. I though Mosley looked ****** in.
        Mayweather looked stronger. And he has seemed to fill out at the weight. But I'm watching it right now, Shane looks bigger than him.

            I disagree with this. I don't think he gets up to 160. I really don't, but he looks to be filled out at the weight. No way he outweighed Shane.

              I personally think he weights around 155. He doesn't look no 160 to me. Cotto, Mosley and Margarito still look bigger to me. And I'm sure Mayweather did weight himself on fight night against De La Hoya and Hatton and he didn't put much on? Someone correct me if I'm wrong? He weighted in at 152 against Oscar and 149 against Hatton on fight night, I'm sure of it. Either way he looks more full and big now, so I reckon he 155 fight night these days. It works better for him, he has more pop in his punches and is just as quick.

                I agree with people seeing Floyd bigger than Mosley, so I guess its out of the Bag that the MYTH of Floyd being a SMALL Welter ...

                anyways he is still makes welter weight limit and stil A welter and d_med good one!

                Its part of May's Mind games and strategy not to weigh-in at fight night it adds difficulty for any future opponent to train and prepare for him, nin addition to his style being already hard to prepare for ...

                  Floyd doesn't want to let people know how much he actually weighs.

                  it sounds better to weigh 147 fight night than 155...

                  Floyd looked much stockier than Mosley

                    Mayweather weighed in at 152 against DLH but came to the ring at 149 I think....

                    DLH on the other and came to the ring at 168. I'm pretty sure these figures are correct and they showed the weights.... I don't know where I would have got them from otherwise lol.

                      he was weighed on fight night against Zab, and came into the ring only 2 pounds over his weigh-in weight.
