    Floyd, Manny, and Marquez all weighed 148 pounds soaking wet

    Yet competed in the welterweight division against men who walked around as high as 170 pounds.

    Im seriously wondering if any of these current welterweights could compete at their natural walk around weight like Mayweather, Pacquiao and Marquez all did at welter?

    So far the only fighter who is doing this is Canelo Alvarez, he walks around at 183 pounds at 5 foot 6, yet is willing to move up to fight kovalev at 175.

    Can Danny Garcia compete at 168 pounds he walks around at 170s

    Can errol spence compete at 168 pounds he walks around at 175

    Can terence crawford compete at 168 pounds he walks around at 170s

    Can Mikey Garcia compete at 168 pounds he walks around at 170s as well.

    Can Keith Thurman compete at 168 he walks around as high as the 180s.

    Can Shawn Porter compete at 168 he walks around at 180

            These new Gen welters are freaking huge. I was shocked to see some of these guys ballooning up to 160 on fight night

              Someone like Crawford walking around at 170lbs would be totally out of shape. It's not the same as Floyd Manny and Marquez who may not be in absolute peak condition in between fights but they would be far closer to it.

              It's more of a testament to those guys' ability not to get completely out of shape in between fights but i'm sorry Crawford, Spence and Mikey fighting at 168 is not the same as those 3 fighting at welterweight lol.

                Remember that those guys are out of shape & soft when they gain all that weight.

                  I know you wanna put TBE in there but we all know he was a liar when it came to weight plus Pac and Especially JMM were known to fight at about 144 as full fledged welterweights. Just keep TBE outa there cuzz vs PAC I thought he was about 160! Yes he won but he did lie about his weight so
