    Mayweather's natural size/strength under rated.

    While Mayweather is obviously a pure boxer/reflex/"read and react" pugilist, his ability to impose himself physically if need be is SEVERELY UNDER RATED. This was evident in the Hatton fight (mayweather is a lot naturally larger and stronger then hatton), AND especially the Mosley fight. It's a case of just being strong AND knowing how to use that strength.

    This could prove to be an interesting dynamic in the pacquiao fight that pac fans like myself have not been plugging into the equation.

    what would you guys say that he "walks around" at? Im guessing he prolly jogs/exercises moderately (not nearly as intense as training camp obviously), and since he has good metabolism prolly doesn't even have to curb his diet too much to keep his weight around 170? Would you guys say he is about 170 3 months plus after a fight ? maybe 165?

      No way he walks around at 165 or 170. I say about 150...155 at the most. He just isn't a big guy. I saw him in person in August and he had to be 150-53 at the MOST.

          Its funny I always thaught of Pac as the more powerfull, stronger guy of the two. Now that I think about it, I cant see Pac pushing Floyd around, I see Floyd doing it to Pac. This will be a factor come fight (if they do fight!).

            he said in an interview recently he was fine weighing in at 152 or close to that on fight night.

              He got thicker and stronger after his brief retirement. I think Pacquiao hands Floyd his ass but Mayweather is a diligent trainer. He works very hard and his best asset, as stated by ****m Richardson, is probably his conditioning.

                Well most of his fans always tried to say he was small.But Floyd is a strong,solid dude.His & Manny's conditioning are what separates them from most fighters.But there are a couple fighters with that level of conditioning as well.Bradley is definitely in their league as far as conditioning goes.

                    He walks around light.....i did a thread on his walking around weight here. He doesn't get higher than 160 is my conclusion.
