    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?

        Pretty much. Fighter's who go up to 160 look dead at the weigh in. Both looked ****ing fantastic.

        If I had to guess, I'd guess Mayweather went up a pound or 2 and Mosley looked to be 155

          Thats the thing, I havent seen them much at all anymore. I think hbo hasnt been doing them for a while. Did they do one for Cotto/Pac? I dont remember that one

            IMO floyd looks like more stockier than mosley at fight night, i will not be surprised if floyd was around 160-165 lbs in the ring. He's just much bigger now than in his last fight before he retire.

                I'd actually like to know just to see...but at the end of the day...who cares. You could be 300 pounds and if you make 147, oh well.

                  dios dominicano's sources tell me that floyd came in at 167 fight night.

                  there was a fight night weight clause that said mosley can't come in over 157.

                    They also announced Hatton as 140 when he weighed about 180.



                    1:45 - the announcer actually says slightly over 140.

                      Exactly!!!!

                      ODLH never let HBO or anyone else weigh him pre-fight .... And its the fighter's choice - Not HBO"S ... I can only imagine what Mosley weighed.
