Comments Thread For: Photo: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Already Close To 147 Limit

Here is the thing with the weight with Mayweather... Simple... Mayweather knows when Mayweather is going to fight.. NOBODY ELSE knows when Mayweather is going to fight... So before he announces he's coming back to fight.. he starts preparing way in advance...common sense... if you know for a fact your going to fight May 5th... you know when to start cutting weight... and since the person who is fighting Mayweather, NEVER KNOWS when he is fighting mayweather.. they don't have that luxury of preparing.. Mayweather knows alot of ways to get the advantage on the opponent.. people just don't think about things like this..

you know how dumb this sounds ? your saying been cutting weight for 4 months .. The only thing would succeed with this approach is over training.

Lets take the simple approach- floyd being an old school fighter maintains his fighting weight range year round. Instead of blowing up 15 to 20 pounds between fights he stays close to fighting weight. Is that so hard? Marvin Hagler made his whole career from amateur to pro maintaining weight of 160, he seem to be pretty successful with this approach.

Crazy that he weighed at 148-149 24 days from the event and the fight is at 147. Danny Garcia and Zab Judah just did their 30 day weigh in and weighed at 152 & 153 for a Jr. Welter fight.

I was thinking the same thing, especially for Judah that's a bad sign already. What do these guys walk around at? Garcia and Judah must be walking around at 155-160. Ballooning up and down in weight like that can't be good for longevity.

Just been posted on "POUND FOR POUND DVD" facebook page.

I'm assuming it was taken today.

I don't know how to post pictures but here's the URL for the image. If someone knows how to upload the image, could they do so.

is that Floyd or ashy Larry?

[Sugar Q]

One of the keys to Floyd's success is his ability to always stay in range of his fight weight, Floyd NEVER balloons out of range between fights which enables him to concentrate on his skills and fight plan instead of having to lose a bunch of weight. Haters are so busy hating that their overlooking a consummate professional. It takes a lot out of a fighter to have to get down in weight the only recourse is to never let yourself get far out of range.

But he will weigh 160+ lbs on fight night!

when was this?

[Cinci Champ]

So Mayweather is EXECUTIVE PRODUCER to the ALL ACCESS show... So that means he gets to see ALL OF THE GUERRERO FOOTAGE recorded... how is that fair that he gets to watch all of his training and tactics caught on camera??? YUP GUERRERO LOST ALREADY BIG TIME, BEFORE THE FIGHT EVEN STARTED

way to go you came up with an excuse when he wins. they only tape what robert and his team let him its not all access as you would think

yea it's okay to go up in weight a little in between fights when you're young and still growing like Garcia or Broner but these guys doing it in their late 20's-mid 30's like Bradley, Judah, and even Guerrero learn the hard way. Going up in weight doesn't transition into more power when coming down..

3 and a half week of NSB smelling like coco butter and ass...

"cocoa butter and ass" yea, nothing bigoted there

its that much of a problem to like a fighter isnt it?

this place has calmed down in a major way in the last year, people are allowed to support the fighters they like. deal with it.

"cocoa butter and ass" yea, nothing bigted there

I would say to report his post for racism. But reporting him for nationalism when he's insulting Puerto Ricans hasn't done anything so what's the point.

[Bushbaby]

Being in great condition is not a adjustment. And Floyd has nothing to do with them tiring?

Ok. I didn't say it was adjusting and never blamed Floyd for another fighters conditioning, so.................
