    Why does HBO refuse to weigh Floyd on fight night?

    Is he the new Miguel Cotto?

    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 don't know. He has been looking bigger on the night of his past two fights.

    But if he can make the weight, whatever.

      HBO refuse? Mayweather can decline. Mayweather didn't unofficially weigh himself for Oscar, Hatton, Marquez and Mosley. The weird thing is, alot of people made a big deal of it during Mayweather vs. Marquez...when he didn't do it for Hatton/ Oscar.

        Yeah, I'm just curious. He should get on the scale.

          It's not HBO whos refusing but rather the fighters. Also i think HBO stopped doing fight night weights now since they didnt show the weights for Pac-Clottey as well.. idk

              You're not alone in that. I'd also like to know.

                What difference does it make as long as the fighter makes weight. If anything, him trying to come in too big will hurt him in the long run and cause fatigue in the later rounds of the fight.

                  Dude said he tried to eat to get up to about 152, but he said he only gained a lb and went to the ring at 147. Guess will never know. But Shane looked physically bigger.

                    Your eyes are playing tricks on you coach.

                    Mayweather looked much bigger on top. I though Mosley looked ****** in.
