Why do people act like Floyd gained so much weight after weighing in?

[-Kev-]

What's crazy is that fans only made a big deal of Floyd not weighing in on fight night. The truth is you can see fights before Floyd in which fighters did this. DLH himself stopped before his own fight with Mayweather and was a serial non-weighter.

I think it's just fans trying to justify why Floyd is so good. They're perplexed by a small WW, who weighs maybe 2-3lbs above Pac at WW, being so good. It makes him that much greater to be small. If they take away him being a small fighter and put him at 155-160lbs on fight night it kinda makes them relieved that he doesn't get KO's not because he's smaller fighting bigger guys, but because he's just a weak puncher and he's big enough to have punching power but he's just featherfisted. All that ****, making him much bigger than he is just kinda allows them to sleep a little better at night.

All I know is if I was going to cheat, I wouldn't

A) Do it in front of a USADA collections agent.

B) Do it knowing USADA (& WADA) had 5 years of testing and an Olympic-level ABP to compare things to.

C) Depend on the compliance of complete strangers (the paramedic who administered the IV, the lab guys who tested the samples, the medical transcriptionist who typed up the report, etc) to keep my dirty test secret.

D) Do it right before the biggest fight in the history of the sport which would undoubtedly be legacy making in scope.

But hey, that's just me...

The guy you're responding to is a ****ing idiot.

Perhaps.

Unfortunately, he might have a bit of company here.

Why is he an idiot, because he asks the questions you can't answer, Floyd had an IV, he couldn't have been critically dehydrated if he only was 2-3lb above weight so it's a very valid question, if you guys stop licking floyds balls for 1 minute and looked past your biased agenda you might actually learn something

You won't find many fighters that haven't taken an IV...even the ones you like.

whos acting like he gained so much weight after the weigh in??? but why yall acting like he only gained 1lb after the weigh in, and in the canelo fight, he actually lost 1/2 a pound lmao!! wtf!!!

[Zaryu]

Because he stopped weighing in on the official network scales on fight night. If he's so light and proud of it, why go through the trouble of not being weighed in?

I still have yet to find anyone who thinks the IV was cheating that can explain why, if he was cheating, how he failed to get caught.

One of the most hated fighters in the history of the sport and nobody leaked any proof of anything?

No anonymous guy sends dirty test results to a news organization?

No one runs to the Enquirer and sells Floyd out?

USADA, the agency that ruined Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor and media sweetheart, is in Floyd's pocket?

USADA, that destroyed sports darling Marion Jones but won't take wife beating Floyd down?

Someone from the IV camp explain this please.

(And dont cop out with "he paid them off" 'cause whatever he could have given them is not worth them being completely out of business if caught")

[Cheek busting]

You can look at his damn 30 day weigh in and see he was always at most 3 pounds over the limit... So how the hell would he gain all that damn weight after weighing in?

Well, when you REFUSE to weigh-in fight night, you bring those su****ions upon yourself, right? Fair enough?

And when you agree to a CW of 144 pounds, and you so easily make 147, why would you not honor your word?

Oh, and of course the infamous 'IV rehydration" situation.
Do you not agree these are at least grounds for causing su****ion?

I didn't realize people did. I've always thought it was the opposite. If he's always on weight and doesn't cut alot, it begs the question, why did he need a IV to rehydrate?
