    Mayweathers' fighting weight

    Let's be real it isn't 147lbs. He looks completely different at weigh ins from the ring. I'd estimate at least 150 but there is no way he walks around at 147.

    Anyone care to say what it might really be? I'm not hating on him I'm just curious because people claim he never has to lose weight for fights and he enters the ring at 147 which is clearly bs since he looks much bigger than he does at the weigh ins.

      Pretty sure Floyd weighs in on fight night for Weltereight bouts at 151-153 usually.

        If Maidana was 157 for the fight, I thought Floyd looked to about 5 or 6 lbs heavier than that.

          I thought the same tbh. Floyd looked pretty heavy this fight. Especially compared to the weigh in.

            lol People, he's still a guy that if he were a weight cutter he wouldn't even have to fight at welterweight. As late as 2011 he released his fight night weight against Ortiz and it was only 150 pounds. He comes in to the 30 day check at 150 for Maidana. He's always about the same weight. There is no weight conspiracy. Mayweather does not wear boots with helium in em or anything either. Honestly.

              I would say 155 seems about right

                How do you explain him looking much bigger in the ring than he does at the weigh in? I'm not suggesting he rehydrates to chavez jr like proportions but he definitely cuts weight. He doesn't enter under 150 lets put it that way. There's no conspiracy, it just isn't true that he walks around and enters the ring at 147. I was merely asking what others think it might be and like me some think it's low to mid 150s. Nothing you would class as overweight.

                  The guy can't physically get down to 145, so I'd say he comes in the ring bigger than 147.

                    Anywhere from 152-155 wouldn't surprise me
