      The reason why is because they only tested shane so close to the fight and not floyd, the guy testing him also sounded alot like mayweather when he kept saying how its cleaning up the sport.
      you know usada and schaeffer were having meetings BEFORE floyd even fought marquez last year?

      impartial my ass.

      if golden boy can get all of boxing to switch to usada testing , how much money is that worth to usada?

      please......

        I disagree with that. Didn't you see the picks of them standing next to each other at the weigh-in? Shane is significantly thicker around the chest than Mayweather, and his arms look thicker too. Shane is definitely bigger than Floyd.

        I'm not sure it really matters though. I think making weight weakens a lot of the bigger fighters more than they realize. That is one explanation for why two of the smallest fighters in the WW division are able to completely dominate all of the larger fighters.

          Floyd has filled into the weight well.

            He looked hench to me. ppl always say before a May fight that the other fighter's bigger and stronger, they even said it about hatton but he looks like a fully filled out at WW. I think he looked equally as strong as Mosley.

                Shanes upper body looked bigger....Floyd looked i duno the word kinda lanky but strong probly due to his long arms and legs shane looks to have short legs.

                    Floyd really filled up well as a welter but should not be compared to naturally bigger men who where WW since they were starting among your list some of them are already fighting at heavier weights and he seems to me bigger than Shane during their fight...

                    Floyd is a now a full pledge welter and wont be giving too much size disadvantage versus anyone at WW, making him more dangerous to all welters on the planet...

                      core strength i think is where he has it on the others......they think they are bigger and can use their bulk to lean all over him and push him around, but they find they can't.........the elbow in the neck helps too
