    A plausible explanation could be that he has a routine of making weight or losing weight and he doesn't want to mess around with it so he still loses weight but not so much. This is purely speculation on my part but Floyd has always looked to me at least 155 on fight night. I don't know who weighs him on fight night or better yet what do they weight him with that he is under 150.

      When Floyd fought Tata he was new to the division and he did look smaller, maybe less than 150 but since he came back fro the JMM fight he looks bigger than what he was in his fights against Zab and Tata.

        You guys see and imagine what you want. And you guys also make the fatal mistake of thinking people who are on camera actually LOOK that way in reality. But cameras have a tendency to skew perspective and distort reality. There are countless women who appear TALL and BIG on camera, but in-person, they are tiny and it's like WTF?

        Floyd against Judah, looks just like Floyd against Marquez, etc. Against Judah he was like 147 to 149. And I remember Judah's fight night weight was there too at the time. Some of you guys make me wonder if you've ever seen these fighters in-person. They aren't as big as they seem on camera.

          Either way he isn't cutting a lot of weight but he has gotten bulkier as he has aged.
          Kevil Iole reported the fight night weights almost a couple hours before they even entered the ring. And besides that, even his 30-day weigh-ins, he's about the same size, 148, 149.

            Stop talking ****, bro. Floyd was at least a cruiser. He was HUGE compared to Maidana. Dunno how Chino lasted the distance with that behemoth.

              He was 149 at the official 30 day before the fight weigh-in. Scales don't lie.

                  Well people are going to be talking about Floyd fighting at Middleweight (Martinez or Hopkins) I guess that a way to tell people he can't make 160

                    Journalists, reporters have written about it before Showtime even announced it on TV.

                    On top of that, he's been weighing the same on his fight nights for more than 10 years now, and HBO has documented it with their Tales of the Tape, and Showtime has it documented too.

                    I guess HBO is telling stories about Pacquaio and Bradley too? Where Pacquaio actually outweighed Bradley on fight night?

                      This reminds me of Mike Tyson's first fight. He came in at 5 foot 1 inches tall.
                      When he became Undisputed I believe he came in at 6 foot 2 inches tall.
                      When in reality I think Mike is about 5 foot 11 inches.
