Nah. That’s nonsense.
Floyd was a Prodigy. If you’re off for 2 years from a “seasoned” division you add a couple pounds from the ideal weigh in. 146+, not the opposite direction. This is common sense.
if Floyd has never had trouble making any direction of weight at Welterweight would simply mean he WAS ONE OF THE FEW boxers who didn’t exaggerate cutting water for the scale. It means his body could easily tolerate a drop of 2lb of water. This isn’t the same as Canelo dropping 2lbs of water is who is bigger than Floyd. Floyd was bigger than Marquez.
So Floyd not agreeing to drop a mere 2lbs of water or general camp shred means TMT were *******s for doing that. Was it mind games?
Everyone on the forum knows I think post Floyd always gained at least 6lbs of water from 146 weigh ins. He was always more shredded the night before. That obviously means he adds on.
So then the final speculation comes to Floyd vs PAC. He used an IV for “severe dehydration.” Those were his own words. I don’t believe used Floyd needed any PEDS in the IV to beat PAC. Let’s keep it simple. I prefer to realistically coincide it with the Marquez fiasco. It means Floyd does in fact drain to make 146 scales. That’s why he couldn’t with Marquez or was scared of the symptoms for fight night, nothing more. How old was Floyd when he fought Marquez? Match that with Crawford’s age moving up to 147. Crawford would rehydrate 18lbs from his 135 fights.
That’s the nature of our sport. Guys can and are pressured to cut and make the scale or the mega fight is off. This is boxing culture.
Floyd’s needed IV rehydration proves why he played with Marquez’s camp with weight.Last edited by Thuglife Nelo; 01-30-2021, 02:22 AM.Comment

Canelo and his team were made to sign a nondisclosure treatment, preventing them from letting the public know about the rehydration clause that Mayweather put in place.
Put it into prespective the differences between the Floyd v Canelo & Canelo v Khan fights.
Floyd vs Canelo
-Extra Padded Grant Boxing Gloves,
-Drained to 152lbs, when Canelo hadn't fought below 154lbs 4 years prior to their bout.
-Rehydration clause (Probably didn't allow Canelo to hydrate over 160/162lbs)
Canelo vs Khan
-Everlast MX Punchers Gloves
-Canelo fights at his stipulated weight of 155lbs
-No Rehydration clause allowing Canelo rehydrate to over 175lbs
To put things into perspective, look at how different Canelo looks in the two weigh ins. That is not just the effect of a 3lb reduction, but also the rehydration clause.

Khan fought a completely different animal to the one Floyd faced. But either way, Floyd would never have got caught with that shot that landed on Khan, which is why Khan is B rated fighter, and Floyd is an ATG.
But chill out with giving Floyd any respect for beating a pre prime, heavily drained, puny Canelo!
Holy smokes Canelo was drained to skeleton status!!
Floyd the king of the catch weight when it matters!!!
He’s like Westbrook, stat padder.Comment

It just seems like Alvarez's whole game is built up around 'Day before weigh in's, and weight cutting to be the big man'.
Alvarez with these tactics does would not survive in any other era but now. I think they are highly opportunistic tactics.
It is Alvarez's own fault if he is drained 'I actually think Alvarez's tactics are starting to affect his performances'.
I am also dubious of the claims in the thread, and think the information is all nonsense.
So if Alvarez cannot be the big man in a fight, he cannot win? If they brought same day weigh in's back, it just seems like a lot if fighters these days would drop off.

This might be the most important thing he learned from Mayweather. Dictating A side rules. Remember he had a non disclosure agreement about the rehydration clause with Kovalev that got leaked out.Comment
