Floyd is a gym rat. Hopkins was like that too. So they maintain a certain weight even during their "off period". It didn't mean that Hopkins couldn't have fought in higher divisions. Right?
Floyd's trainer was asked if Floyd would go higher than 154. His trainer said "if the price is right, Floyd can do it .... its not size, its skills that pays the bills, man"
Lastly, Marquez was used to fighting guys that were 130 and had just started at 135. So putting on the "right" weight in such a short time AND getting hit and trying to hit not just any 147lbs fighter but Floyd, I would think it would be a huge challenge for anyone who tried. For Marquez it was uncharted territory. So sorry, I don't buy that excuse. Not one bit!
Some Floyd fans protect Floyd at all costs:
Fight Marquez: Good win for Floyd.
Fight at 160: Is this a joke?
