What are you answering here you lost me with your first response, I feel who asked for the weight is not in question , champs fight at the division limit , thats the how its always been , who asks for a CW is irrelevant to the its influence on the result , Floyd fought JMM weighing lighter that what Manny did , so I dont see your point , JMM worked his way up to that weight with good KO wins over bigger guys and had been coming into the ring since his 135 days around the same weight 143-146 so its not the big deal you think its , Floyd comes from the same place as did all the LWs that move to WW .
All they doing is not drying out and they are training through camp at a higher weight , its easier for them because they dont have to stay on edge to make their lightest weight , you kids make laugh how you hang onto numbers but you dont understand what the mechanics of the numbers are , you got to understand the weigh-in weight and fight night weight , and how can be manipulated and how it can help you or ruin you , its not just numbers .
4 pd at weigh-in to a SMW is like 8 pd to a WW , Ward with a 164 CW against such a smaller fighter and being as elite as he is it would add up to much For Floyd with Ward being 175-185 on the night , there would be near a 30 lb on the night difference .
Now change it a little its a 158 CW and Ward weighed 160 , Ward would come in around 165-170 , because his to make 160 body does not have the mass to get the water back into , go look that HW that went down to 175 , forget his name , look at Oscar another case , weight in boxing has laws that control it , the numbers must be clearly defined for sound reasons other wise your fighter is gunna get belted just like Oscar did , going up in weight will never hurt you , even Roach didnt understand that when he said JMM will be slower and forced to slug , kinda back fired on Freddie there , he out smarted himself and should have learnt after Bradley , coming up dont weaken them .
