    Is Floyd a natural 147lber now?

    Would that be his natural size?

    Or did he get up to 147 by lifting weights and eating loads of food high in protein?

    Dumb question.

    Is he a natural 147 pounder he been there for years already thats his weight.

    lifting weights to get to move up in weight is the only smart weigh to move up LOL, but Mayweather went up to 147 naturally as his body filled in over time.

      natural? no. but he has filled out inweight and is a legit 147lber right now. He's strong at that weight.

        From the age of 29-30, 147 has been his natural weight, yes.

          He's a natural WW in the sense he walks around at close to the WW limit and doesn't have to cut a substantial amount of weight to make WW like most of the other WW's do.

            Not even, he was still a small welterweight then, probably after his two year hiatus when he came back in '09 he'd grown into '47.

              He's a solid Welterweight.

              Let me put it to you like this....people call Sergio Martinez a small Middleweight, even though he walks around in the 170's and comes into the ring anywhere from 165-170.

              Floyd walks around at like 150 and comes into the ring around 147-150.

              So what is he???

                well fighting at 151 lbs these days is considered a small WW. him and Pac basically weight the same. floyd has a small skull, small hands, wrists and rib cage, he's a jr WW in every sense of the word.

                  I'd still consider him a small WW now.

                  From the Judah fight, I think he's been just as comfortable at 147 as he is now. Still small, but good enough to win regardless.

                    Weight wise he is still a small welterweight. He comes in on fight night weighing less than a lot of junior welter weights on fight night. His skill and endurance though are so much better than everyone else that it doesnt matter he weighs less.
