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

To be that dehydrated 30 days out would be so unnecessary when you have a month to lose 7 pounds, why would you do it 30 days out... wait until weigh in and then put it back on again? Why would you weigh 148 for the whole month? When you could just leave it and cut the weight gradually? It doesn't add up. You're taking things out of context and pretending it is evidence when it is just not. Again, you are being intellectually dishonest with yourself and if you dislike Mayweather that much then that's just really sad.

Originally posted by HeroBando View PostI don't care, fight night weight is not measured 30 days out, it's on fight night and Floyd keeps dodging that scale. I know about Ortiz, but 1 out of 5 is a pattern of avoidance, especially since most guys will do it every time without thinking. every guy on his undercard did

Originally posted by craigus1990 View PostAnd there we go. You saying "I don't care" shows that you are ignoring evidence. Whether or not it is the same night, it gives us an indication as to which fighters are cutting weight/need to cut weight and which guys don't need to cut weight. Floyd is a guy who doesn't need to cut weight which is displayed by his 30 day weigh in. Your attitude of "I don't care" and ignoring that fact and then saying "because he doesn't always weigh in fight night I will assume he is 155 plus" is dishonest and a logical fallacy. If you ask me what his fight night weight is for the Guerrero fight I would give you an honest answer and say I don't know but we can look at his 30 day weigh in, 7 day weigh in and weights in previous fights to point us in the right direction. Whereas you would say because he doesn't weigh in he is hiding something and must be 155 plus despite no evidence to suggest it. You see the difference? My position is honest and yours is dishonest.

Originally posted by HeroBando View Posti accept admissible evidence: the fight night scale reading. this is not rocket science man, i don't need a weight extrapolating course cause the guy refuses to step on the fight night scale. Why are you working so hard on this anyway, who are you trying to convince, me or yourself? Or just holding down the fort?

Originally posted by craigus1990 View PostLooking at evidence and coming to a conclusion is not hard work, I am not trying to convince anybody... you have made your position clear that you don't care about the presented facts and will run with your idea regardless, I am merely rebutting the replies from you and pointing out your logical fallacies. Your evidence is mere speculation and nonsensical rubbish whilst ignoring everything valid. You are not the judge of what is admissible evidence, the evidence is there and in bucket loads which answer your thread and if you choose to ignore that evidence, is doesn't discredit the evidence, it just discredits your predictive capabilities and honesty.

To put things in Perspective Danny Garcia and Zab Judah who are Jr. Welterweights weighed more than Floyd for their 30 day weight checks for their last fight in comparison to Floyds 30 day weight of 148lb. That should tell you he's a pretty small welter, in comparison to someone like Berto, or Thurman. And Zab is a small dude by the way.Last edited by hhwff3000; 06-02-2013, 08:52 PM.
