      He fights at his natural weight... He eats healthy/well year round. When preparing for a fight he does not have to worry about making weight. He doesnt need to drain himself and fight weight like most fighters do. This is another reason why he is a great fighter. Always in shape and trains for the fight, does not train for the weight

          Just wanted to clear up the conjecture about Floyd's walking around
          weight, as many posters seem to think he walks around at 1000 pounds btw fights, and rehydrates to 160+ after weigh ins (according to pullcounter).

          Some deductive reasoning tells me Floyd's (current) walking around weight btw fights is btw 154-159 pounds. I would seriously doubt he has ever weighed over 163-65 pounds in his entire life.

          After the Hatton fight Floyd retired and scaled back his training to let his body heal. This period is the longest layoff of his career, about 2 years. In the ring against JMM Floyd was as big as he has ever been (he refused to be weighed), i'd say 155-158 pounds. I don't think many people will argue this point......he looked huge in the JMM fight. He was smaller in his fight with ODLH and against SSM aswell (watch the post fight against SSM, i doubt he was over 150-153 pounds).

          Now during a layoff where he is not training for boxing, but training in the fitness gym (as he put it) to stay in shape, one would expect he would put on weight. This is natural. In this "retirement" period we would expect him to get heavier than he has ever been btw fights previously when he was active....??? During this period Floyd did a stint on WWE and fought the Big Show. Not being a fan of WWE (i'm guessing most aren't as this hasn't been shown before) i have only just seen this footage (below). It is a weigh in for both men. Floyd weighs in @ 159 pounds. So after the longest inactive period of his career......Floyd is walking around at 159 pounds.

          So if he was walking around at 159 at this particular time......how would he rehydrate to 160+ after a weigh in now?? The inactivity and keeping 160 pounds on his frame for 2 yrs is the reason he couldn't make 144 in the JMM match and put on so much weight after the weigh in.....i would say he was 156+. If you are constantly making weight every 6 months or in the boxing gym consistently it is going to be easier to "yoyo" in weight.

          Given he is now actively boxing again and training harder than ever it would be ridiculous to think he is walking around at 160+. My guess is 154-158 MAX. I think this is evident in the SSM fight. He didn't look as big in this fight as he did against JMM.....he looked about the same size as when he fought ODLH.

          Let me know what you think guys??????
          Floyd looked like an SUV next to JMM.

            I'd say he walks around at about 160-165, and after weigh-in he rehydrates to around 156-158. He goes into camp in top shape, so he has very little weight to shift, but make no mistake, he is a full sized welterweight now. You could tell he was the same size, against Mosley, and Mosley was far more affected by Floyd's punches and strength than Oscar had been a few years prior. Floyd has grown into the weight class.

                sooo. TS is saying floyd can easily make 147. so why do floyd fans put a big issue on the $10m penalty if floyd himself isnt worried of not making weight?

                  Its hard to say what he walking around at but on FN against JMM and Shane he looked to me to be at least 155 but probably not 160 or more.....its clear to me that he has filled out into his WW body and is coming in certainly weighing more than an even 150

                    The only way we can find out the non-training weight and fight night weigh of Mayweather is:

                    -To have unannounce weigh in during no fights/training.
                    -take his weight during fight night.

                      you *****s should realize this...you can't claim that floyd is a small ww and yet can't make 144. when people said he cheated jmm you defended him by saying he can no longer make 144. you fcuks make up your mind...either floyd is a small ww who cheated a lightweight or he's a natural ww who can no longer make 144.
