[QUOTE=D4thincarnation;12480326]Floyd rarely fights boxers that are natural at the weight, they have normally moved a few weights by the time Floyd faces them.
The only fighter I can think of that Floyd has fought that was a natural at the weight was Carlos Baldomir, who is not a great level technically.
Miguel Cotto started his career at 140lbs fought Floyd at 154lbs
Victor Ortiz, another 140lbs guy, only had one previous fight at 147lbs then fought Floyd at that weight.
Shane Mosley, a former lightweight fought Floyd at 147lbs at the tender age of 38
Juan Manual Marquez, started of at featherweight 126lbs, moved up 3 weights in a year to take on Floyd at welterweight, was meant to be catch weight of 144lbs but Floyd went back on his word.
Ricky Hatton, a natural 140lbs man, struggled with his previous fight at 147lbs once again Floyd fought him at 147lbs
Oscar De La Hoya, started his career at lightweight, went down to win a title at superfeather, Floyd fought at 154lb
Judah 140lbs guy, fought at 147lbs
Gatti a 130lbs guy fought at 140lbs
Floyd has moved up the weights himself but tends to avoid the big men of the division he is in.
Never fought a Williams, Margarito, Martinez.
It seems that for Floyd size does matter.
I so sure of this I expect Floyd to fight another blown up fighter, maybe Alexander or Guerrero but will not fight a natural big guy in his next fight, or in any of his remaining fights.[/
In most of mayweathers fights he is outweighed by over 10pound plus on fight night, gatti, Ortiz, cotto, de la Hoya baldomir, corrales etc. even hatton outweighed him on fight night. Mayweather doesn't really add weight either after the weigh in (the most I can remember is the 6 after the corrales weigh in).
