Fluid Mayweather?

First of all, you are comparing a chubby HW to Floyd. Secondly, Floyd is a gym rat who knows what's up by now as far as training.Also, after a fight between 2 big HWs, one would think that that had something to do with Stiverne's condition after the fight.

During training camp, you tend to slow down your training as you get closer to the fight. Dehydration usually occurs because you are trying to make weight while training BUT Floyd and his team insists that he can make 147 easily and Floyd is still capable of making 140.

Floyd's team used as an excuse " .... Floyd needed to train but he gave blood and gave urine .... that makes you dehydrated". Well, after all these years of Floyd and his fans saying that giving blood doesn't drain you, this excuse became the biggest joke one can think of.

Finally, Floyd recently was interviewed and said that he had trained harder for the Berto fight than the Manny fight. Floyd's words not mine!!!

Floyd has been on record saying that he can't make 140 lbs (I can post the YouTube). Absolutely not was his phrase. But he also said he's a 140 lbs fighter. And what he meant by that is those guys at 140 lbs tend to come into fight night at 150-155 lbs. Whereas at 147 lbs, many fighters weigh 160-165 lbs on fight night.

Why floyd injected IV 15 times more than the required limit a day before the fight?Did he try to attain to meet 120 lbs.?It sounds very fishy for a man was well within the 150 lb 30days before the fight.so meaning no weight issue.Why inject 2 bottles of IV when he doesn't need it anyway unless he is a fan of lance armstrong and wants to to try his method...PED MASKING..
What an irony,the so called crusader/advocate of drug testing is a bigtime cheater.Floyd is Lance Armstrong of boxing.Both have the same method of cheating to greatness in their own sport.

You guys are clowns, cutting weight is not the only thing that can cause dehydration to a fighter, over training is also an issue, ie Bermain Stirvirne in his fight with wilder had to go to hospital for two days after the fight because of dehydratio, and the reason cited was over training

Yep. To hear some of the knuckleheads here tell it dehydration can ONLY happen when you are dropping a bunch of weight.

Dehydration is some easy ass **** to have. If some mfer is sitting on his couch all day watching a Pawn Stars marathon without drinking water he could end up being dehydrated. Let alone what the average elite level boxer goes through during a training camp.

I won't be surprised to learn Mayweather had several dehydration symptoms & I suspect we will hear about them in the future with all the bad PR this has generated by now.

There surely is an argument about why an IV is better or preferred by a person with no ill intentions over just drinking some mfing water or what constitutes a emergency when it comes to dehydration, but I (who hasn't commented on it), like most of the mfers commenting on it these last couple days are probably some of the least likely people to answer that question if it had randomly showed up in the Nutrition & Training forum a month ago.

Yeah it's so hot that he needed 750ml even if in the man's own mouth he has no problem making 147.

Perhaps the most assuming thing about all this news is that somehow 750ml is a shocking amount of an IV solution of saline & multivitamins that is some Lance Armstrong level of confirmed cheating/masking in September, but when this 750ml stuff was released & written about by boxing writers in May they nor any boxing fans jumped on this as one would expect with some Lance Armstrong level of confirmed cheating masking being presented in their daily boxing news.

because Hauser was the one who educated us with his masterful explanation which translates to the same way Armstrong did it..

Recently it was his father that said that he could even make 140 if he had to. Certainly Floyd and his team has said that the 147 limit is his walking weight or very close to it.

Floyd doesn't even have to lose much if any weight during training camp. As Floyd said, its easy making the 147 limit. Think about it. Floyd demanded Canelo, who had to already drop a significant amount of weight, to go down to the CW of 152! Before you Floyd fans said that wouldn't be draining but now I'm hearing a different tune for Floyd????

Are you not su****ious of Floyd's excuses if he can make 147 easily?
- Blood and urine contributed to Floyd feeling drained?
