    Yeah, and I also realize that Mayweather was smart enough to never fight an opponent bigger than him. At 130, or 147, he always fought smaller people, rare exceptions like Corrales. Mayweather outgrown divisions, he never moved up except when he fought Cotto (shorter, short reach) or shot ODLH.
    you missed Castillo outweighed him....147148 fight night for their fights

    Gatti weighed more than he did, Corely and Bruseles were natural junior welters....140 was floyds 3rd divison....in his lightweight fights on fight night he weighed below 140.

    Hatton turned pro at 140 and fought his entire career at junior ww or higher...floyd started at 130 and only had 6 fights over the 135 limit before he fought Hatton....Hatton wasbigger and in his prime

    Maidana and Canelo were 15 pounds heavier than him fight night

    but you are the idiot screaming "why should GGG move up?" but wont acknowledge that Floyd fought bigger fighters

      Mayweather beat Marciano's record.

      Now it's the Mayweather curse. Khan is the next victim.

        Actually you are the idiot, and your reputation is evidence of that. the fact that you still didn't realize is not my business. You are extremely idiotish. You are fool enough to believe floyd weighed 150 fight night vs Canelo when he weighed in 150.5 the day before... only a ****** person would believe that

          I've taken ****s that weigh more than a measly half pound easily. I could understand if Mayweather was drained on the scales and barely made weight and then mysteriously lost weight the following day but that wasn't the case.
          Mayweather looked pretty comfortable on the scales in the Canelo fight and reportedly had been eating up to the weigh in (was even bragging about eating pizza just days before weigh in in an interview).

          It's really not the phenomenon you're making it out to be. Oscar De La Hoya has said that in his fight with Pacquiao he tried to rehydrate and gain weight for the fight but his body was rejecting fluids and he ended up weighing LESS than Pac on fight night.

          A jr middleweight coming in less than a feather/lightweight moving up to 147? These unofficial weights are far more concerning than any Floyd fight.

            This Maxi guy really has nothing to contribute other than what he wants us to believe. He seems to be ignoring that Floyd has for his whole career stayed around fight weight. He can act like that's crazy or maybe just deny that the media has covered that fact repeatedly. But his reason is because no official number is given. He hates Floyd so that will automatically feed into what he wants to believe. I still believe he has probably never even watched any portion of his career.

              LOL! I was looking for a thread about Rousey & McGregor flapping there gums about Mayweather while they were preparing for fights. I was thinking Mayweather still beating people without throwing a punch... Then I came across this thread... brilliant! there is a curse & I love it! I don't even like Mayweather as a boxer but I'm sure hoping more MMgay fighters bring up his name... UFC fighters should learn to

                it's like the EA Sports curse, once you mention his name, like being on the game cover, you lose...

                so I was a fighter, i'd leave Mayweathers name out my mouth... at least not calling him out, because those who call him out, can't even get to him, haha.
