    Pacquiao had a clear motive in doing that, it was a built-in excuse in case he lost the fight. He was determined to come in as the smaller man just in case. He was coming in the ring above 142 prior to DLH while he was in the lower classes. Why do so many of you socalled fans haw agendas? It's shameful.

      The last time he was unofficially weighed in on HBO was for the Ortiz fight where he was 150 in 2011. Before that fight, the previous one was Baldomir where he weighed 149 in 2006.

      I don't know where the logic is that Floyd some how weighed 155-160 on fight night when he doesn't weigh himself. He obviously does not surpass 151.

      And to answer your question, the reason he doesn't do it started in the DLH fight. Oscar didn't weigh himself so Floyd didn't either, and he hasn't ever since. Nobody cared when DLH didn't do it, but for some reason it's an issue/conspiracy with Floyd.

        Floyd is always in shape and like a true pro he doesnt need to cut alot of weight and then gain it back to have an advantage like 95% of all boxers do...

        Floyd is a small welter. anybody who thinks otherwise doesnt understand he doesnt cut weight..
        If floyd cut weight he would be at 140 and would smash all those guys....

        Not the biggest floyd fan, but this thread is just hating on floyd....

          Hating on Floyd about the day of the fight weight is just comical.

            You know what's shameful? You trying to take any high moral ground on this.

            So you get those new Reebok CW King sneakers yet?

              Wow just wow. Lets say any other fighter in sport last let them weigh him in in 2011, and before that 2007. You conclusion would be he's exact same weight in 2013?

              Canelo was just 166.5 for the 30 day Trout weighin. If he'd said, screw same day weighin, you'd be calling him a medium sized SWW?

                I don't take any high moral ground, I'm just calling a spade a spade. You(amongst many other posters here) clearly have an anti Mayweather agenda. You thinking that you're getting to me by dissing Mayweather further illustrates this. Must be tough beig a Mayweather hater, which is why you're so bitter.

                  It's all good man, but maybe you should thicken your skin a little. Either that, or get a whole lot slicker if you can't take what you dish out.

                    What gets me about all this nonsense is I don't see any advantages in Floyd not weighing in on fight night if he was over 154..... A) Nobody is giving Floyd extra credit for being small B) Wouldn't Floyd want his opponents to know he is big and strong to make them more cautious therefore playing into his slower paced style. C) If he was 154 plus, why would he want Canelo at 152 when he would be much more comfortable weighing in at 154?
                    None of it makes any sense and I cannot believe we get threads about it week after week despite an overwhelming amount of evidence showing he is not 154 plus on fight night.
                    It is like trying to show Evolution to Creationists, they just ignore the evidence and think it is all a conspiracy!

                      1 weighin in the past 6 years is not evidence, it's lack of evidence. It's the kind of thing you expect from serial weight abusers.

                      Him making himself look small is no fantasy, his camp manager claimed he was 147 fight night vs Cotto which just makes them lose all credibility on this.
