Remember that Floyd fans swear by network disclaimers for weights, and there’s the urban legend that Floyd hardly gained any weight from the scales to fight night.
Let’s put in some context. Canelo haters have a hard time accepting how Canelo performed against Kovalev... because remember, Canelo wouldn’t have to drain at all for LHW and just a tad bit for 168. We know this because Canelo looks filled and proper at 168-175, yet small compared to the elites at those weights.
So... it goes to show, as many stated, that most in the game except for HW, everyone drains whether we like it or not, particularly for fighters whom stay only at a certain weight yet we know for fact they can compete at higher weights.
It could be said that Floyd gets credit for honoring his latest classes, 147-154, but I even have some skepticism how those were done considering he was the cash cow...
Crawford wasn’t very young when he fought Gamboa and already fully grown unless his camp or he would admit that his metabolism somehow truly went a turn. I don’t buy it because Crawford at 135 looked seriously unhealthy at weigh ins and was weighing a recorded 153 on fight night, and well, was a Top Rank fighter...
So how would you compare Floyd weighing 147 on the scale compared to Crawford’s fight night weight at 135? 153-147; 6lbs variance. Did Floyd ever go past 6lbs from the 147 scale?
So Floyd is a 5 Division Champ. Would you say that if Canelo went back to 160 it would be like Floyd draining from Welterweight to 135? Or 130?
Everyone knows that I’ve said numerous times that Floyd does cut weight for the scales and the networks protected his requests, advised by Al Haymon. I think the most Floyd has ever been was 156lbs. It means that Floyd could’ve competed at 154 consistently, but never took the risks as Hauser always pointed out.
