Why is it that Floyd refuses to be weighed on fight night?

150 against Ortiz on fight night

Which was about 2 years ago. Bradley went up 10lbs in single fight, Peterson went up 8, You don't think an older guy gains a few naturally? I mean, Marquez is 150 these days, and you saw how he looked like a midget shoulder to shoulder

Why did Pac weigh in 142 officially vs DLH, then go up to 148 fight night? What's the point, why not 147 then 1lb next day. I dunno, but maybe you can ask JMM or Rigo or a bunch of other guys that were well under on friday, then went up a few next day.

Only the same day scale knows the answer to this puzzle, and not from 2 years ago

Im not talking about Pac. Im talking about Floyd. And still no answer to why he didnt make the 154 mark, if he could have. Then went into the ring, and slid backwards on his feet when Cotto bulldozed through him!

As I said, it's very common for a guy that comes in 3+ lbs under, to gain a few on fight night. I don't see your point, that's the norm. If you're trying to say he must have been 151 or below fight night, that wouldn't be logical or plausible

Doesn't he always have his fight night weight on the tale of the tape? Mind you he does tend to look pretty damn big in the ring.

You are in pure denial. No, it is not common for a fighter to weigh 3+ lbs under the limit at the weigh-in! You rarely witness fighters doing that, especially at the top levels.

The reason he comes in the ring at 146-148 at jr mw fights, is because he's a NATURAL WW! His father has made comments about him being able to make 140, if wanted. Because Floyd is a natural ww, at jrmw, he eats all he wants and trains, and weighs in at 152, which is the highest he can make. But the night before the fight, he ACCIDENTALLY comes in at 146-148, because he's naturally too tiny to fight at jr mw. Even at ww, his 30 day weigh in is at 146-148.

I dont have an agenda. I just think people who DO have agendas, go out of their way to hate. This too, was a failed hate tactic.

I stated it carefully enough. Restating: on those rare (kinda) occasions a fighter weighs in 3+ lbs under, they gain weight fight night 9+ times out of 10

Holy **** man, I dont what to say. I guess shame on me for not having learned my lesson from "I dont care what the bookies say, Lee should have been favored over Chavez strongly", and "what do scales know about size, Guerrero is bigger than Rios"

Those fighters did that on accident. No fighter is going to come in light against a guy who will have a significant strength advantage. When they make weight, they just accidentally lose to much.

Just accept the fact that you was wrong, and move along man. Im not biased for, or against fighters. I just speak facts. You ARE a fight fan who picks and chooses fighters to jock and hate on. Just accept the fact that you was wrong, and move along my ll dawg! No beef! Nice tlk, Tnx!
