Plus HBO said in one fight that they always weigh Floyd but he was mad at them this time and wouldnt allow them to do it. Maybe since then he just figured that he's not going to mess with them anymore. They diss him all throughout fights anyways
      Did'nt Oscar do it for the Pac fight?

        yes, which just happen to be the only fight he was small in for the last hundred years. He only did it so to show people that this wasnt a physical mismatch if he won or to get sympathy if he lost

          Simple, because his opponent would be thinking about it more then the ts, it's better to have your foe think you are 160+ lbs like the ts, then know your barely at jmw. Mayweather was 148-149 against DLH at jmw on fight night, about 1-2 pounds less then in the weigh-in. At this stage of his career i'd imagine he's weighing in at about 152-154 on fight night.

          think about this; Ortiz moving up from jww was a mw against Berto on fight night.

            Somebody mentioned that there was no fight night weigh-in for the DLJ/FMJ fight. Which one is it?

              2] If you are the smaller fighter, would you not want it in the record books that you beat an atg who weighed much more than you? Remember Armstrong v Garcia?
              3] Where have you been lately?
              4] Is that not what fans from both sides have been doing all this time?
              Armstrong didn't beat Garcia. it was a draw.

                I believe that ever since the Joey Gamache-Arturo Gatti fight there has been a limit on how much a fighter can rehydrate.. I could be in error.

                  Because then people would see how he outweighed hatton and marquez by at least 20 pounds.

                    Yes. But can you imagine the consequence had he won that fight? Until now people are still emphasizing the size and weight difference in that fight.

                      I am confident that Hatton outweighed Mayweather.

                      Unofficial weights don't mean much because alot of the fighters weigh in on fight night with all their clothes plus shoes an stuff. I only take stock in it if the fighter has weighed in on fight night at the same weight multiple times.
