    I don't see why not. Martinez said he'd come to 150. That's just 3 pounds.

      It's one thing where both fighters have to make 147 and then one re-hydrates to 150 and the other re-hydrates to 164. It's a total different thing to have a fight at 160 one weighs in close to the limit and re-hydrates to 165 while the other weighs in at 147-152 being the same weight on fight night.

      The size difference in the latter is much more than it is in the former.
      To anyone thats sparred size doesnt mean **** to me... Floyd wins....

I don't mind which weight Mayweather challenges him at, couldn't care less. Floyd going for a MW title, win or lose is great stuff.
              I completely agree

                    And, I know some morons out there think Floyd is super human unbeatable and all that crap. But, every fighter, even Floyd has their limit.

                    Rubbish , the fight night weight is the weight you actually fight at , the weigh-in weight is the how much water your system can lose and replenish inside the 30 hrs without hurting yourself by being to severe in the lost fluids like ODH , he put back only 2 pounds and only because of IV drips , he should have put back a stone or more , that happens because the system is in water shock and holds onto what it has , this causes the normal gateways to close the first being gut absorption , then bowel , then you cant get a vein because they collapsed .

                    Fight weight is extremely important in evaluating a performance it can tell you a lot about the preparation and weight making process they used , I wish they added pre fight weigh-ins to really get accurate dehydration weights on fight night .

                      floyd would be the fast more ellusive fight in the ring and would land that right hand all night..floyds defense would be a great asset for him to avoid those heavy hands
