If Floyd really walks around 147-150 why didnt he make weight for Marquez?

[dc3383]

5lbs is a lot if your body don't want to give it up. Hard for you to say how his hydration level, stress etc was at the time.

How do you explain floyd weighing in at 149 30 days prior to his fight with Ortiz if hes now a full fledged 160+ lbs ww?

He can't explain; and forget that weigh 146 for the Marquez fight.

oh dam if he is 149 right now he can make 140. Hell Morales is 153............So howcome floyd couldnt make the weight for Marquez? Its pure bull **** and you guys are buying it. Its hilarious really

1) Morales is a lot fatter than Mayweather. Mayweather is in extremely good shape year around unlike some fighters who bloat up between fights.

2) Floyd currently weighs 149 thirty(!!) days before a fight, and has never weighed anywhere close to 155+ at fight night EVER.
How do you explain this any other way than that hes actually walking around in the low 150s? Hes a smallish ww, just deal with it.

The reason your confused is that you always beleived he was a big welterwight......Floyd has nothing to prove in terms of his weight......

Well just look at him recently against JMM or SSM, you really think he was the same weight as JMM in the ring?

[boxer12]

he probably could have made it...but not safely/comfortably.

anyway that's beside the point...how are you gonna sit there and say 5lbs is nothing? do u box professionally? do you know what the fighters go through to make weight? ONE pound could be a whole hell of a lot if your body doesnt want to let it go!

possibly, but he had a lot more muscles.

body composition makes a huge impact on aesthetic appearance

So does SSM and they appeared to me to be about the same size, I just have a hard time believing that he is only 150lbs walking around.

you are a total idiot! If i was around 161 and i need to cut 1 lb of water....yes 1 lbs of water im not going to be fainting looking for a big stream of watever

[BoZz]

floyd is too skilled he could of come in at any weight..he toyed with JMM it's a fact..floyd knows how to box and pac doesn't simple as that.

but hes apparently 149 today, with over 4 weeks to go. Thats what doesn't make sense, if hes a mammoth ww whos 160-165 at fight night. Hell even 155+ sounds unreasonable given what we know.

I agree he looked bigger than he usually does against Mosley, but that could be mosleys physique not quite being what it used to be.

if you never seen floyd in person, then you dont know what your talking about.......
