You may have a point if the fighter was already at his limit with his weight but LM steps into the ring at 150+ pounds. Weighing in at 147 would make no difference except he wouldn't have to dehydrate as much and again you may have a point if he went up to 147 and fought someone who weighed in fight night 160+ like Ortiz but he would be fighting Floyd in this instance who would weigh about the same as Lucas therefore nullifying any disadvantage that may have been. There is no other reason to say Floyd is favorite other than he is better, it would have nothing to do with weight, venue or what side of the bed they got out of, it comes down to ability in this match up and nothing more.
