Before I opened this thread I thought to myself ' Don't mention Cotto '.
...
Cotto was the one who moved from 140 to 147 'cause he was struggling to make weight. After getting pummelled by Pac he made the decision to move up to 154, Floyd simply followed him up.
The only people Floyd pulled out of their natural weight categories was Hatton & Marquez. Everyone else had some reasonable success at their ' blown-up ' weight.
Not to mention the fact that most boxers do not remain at the weight-class they turned pro in.
Why argue with haters? These are not real boxing fans and the fighters they usually like can't really fight so it's ok. History will remember Floyd when it's all said and done, not these other Canelo types or Golovkin or what was his name, the dude who KOed Jacobs then proceeded to accomplish absolutely nothing? Exactly. F them.

History will remember everything, you might forget it though.
The term ' natural weight ' in boxing is a contradiction.
The fighters drain themselves of liquids in an attempt to meet a limit of a weight division. You can have a fighter who naturally weighs 164, but makes 147. So does that mean 147 is his natural weight or 160?
Floyd never had the physical advantage against the likes Castillo, Hatton & Baldomir. Even so in his other fights, he's never physically that much bigger. In your last paragraph, you make no sense.
Floyd normally has the physical advantages and can push around his opponents because like him they are from the smaller weight classes.
So... essentially... that's a level playing field.
if half the fighters in the world were 1/4 as good as D4 at providing garbage to mull over, there would be 100 new sanctioning bodies made weekly to support the overwhelming amount of elite champions there are in boxing.
