the reality is yes. If you understand boxing and the history, floyd always came in the ring around 139-141 when he was at the lower wieghts, and anyting above 140 makes him a welter. Back in SRL day, you did not get the benefit of day before weigh in.
So to put in proper context, SRL and hearns all in todays era could have stripped all water weight and carbs and got in around 140 too, and then bulked up the day before and night before, so that the day off they can come in totally strong and not have their performance impacted.
Based off of todays standards, no was not a welter. But keep in mind the comparison is to fighters of era's where they weighed in the day of.Comment

Was expecting a hard question. Anyway, Carlos Baldomir, although that was somewhat of a robbery.Comment

Floyd came in at 150 Vs Oscar and at 148 on fight night, doesn't look like a natural Welterweight to me.Comment
