    i agree......certaoin posters want to make him out to be a giant....but really at 147 who is he bigger than:

    - Clottey
    - SSM
    - Margarito
    - Cotto
    - Berto
    - Collazo
    - Williams


    they are all bigger.............compare Floyd to guys like SRL, SRR, Hearns, Pryor and welters of other eras..........

    He is def a small welter......especially before....i think he is natural at the weight today, but when he initially moved their i'm guessing he wasn't struggling to make 40.......

      Correct me if im wrong but for the Mosley fight official weight was 146 and Floyd said he had trouble putting on any weight after it and came in on fight night around 147....

            I agree with this assessment.

            I also think the alleged size advantage for Floyd in the ring against Pacquiao is severely overstated.
            The real size advantage for him in that fight is the reach. Not weight.

                Well, how big is the height difference? Is it not just over 1 inches?

                    WBC mandated weigh-in for Mayweather & Baldomir
                    “It’s just a week before ‘PRETTY RISKY’ and it’s been worth the ‘weight,’” cracked promoter Dan Goossen after confirming today that WBC champion Carlos “Tata” Baldomir came in under the WBC-mandated seven-days-out weight limit of 154 pounds for his scheduled 12-round, WBC Welterweight title bout against Pound-for-Pound King, “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather a week from tomorrow at the Mandalay Bay Resort & cas!no in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mayweather, a fit 150 pounds for the WBC 30-day required weigh-in and a mere three pounds over the welterweight limit, shifted all the focus on Baldomir’s weight, especially after Baldomir guaranteed he would be under the maximum allowed weight. The 35-year old Baldomir, whose normal walking around weight is 180 pounds, tipped the scales at 153 ¼ pounds when he weighed in at 3:00 pm PDT Friday. Mayweather, age 29, has been at the welterweight title limit of 147 pounds for over a week. The bigger champion from Argentina will need to drop 6 ¼ pounds by next Friday’s weigh-in to make the welterweight limit for his title defense.
