148/165=A welterweight beat a tough game middleweight tonight

[blacraven]

They are both natural welterweights. Floyd couldn't get down past 146 half a century ago when he fought Marquez and Maidana had no problem making weight. The only reason Floyd doesn't bulk up like other welterweights is because he has a lot of speed but no power. Bulking up would cost him his main strength while not improving his power enough to really hurt people.

It's not the weight that's an issue; it's Floyd denying Maidana a legal comission-approved glove.

This is not true.
He actually does try to come in heavier but he can't. When you listen to his interviews against Oscar, Mosley, etc... He said he tries to come in at at least 150 and he ate a few big meals, but he said he was in such tip top shape that his body wouldn't gain any weight.

Bad move for Maidana to rehydrate 17pounds, probably did him more harm than good.
