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

[original zero]

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...

as well as giving a urine sample immediately before taking the IV . . .

Sorry, dehydration does not happen to a seasoned vet like Floyd the day before the biggest fight of his life. It is a safe bet that he has been breaking the rules for as long as Margarito has been loading his gloves.

Every fighter is dehydrated the day before the fight, that's how they make the weigh-in even if it's only 2 lbs, unless they're really small for the weight and put on 0 weight after.

[Robbie Barrett]

An absurd amount of iv to rehydrate 3 pounds is not suspicious at all. Again I'll take the word over cheats or people with knowledge how to cheat over any flo mo like you

Absurd amount? How is 750ml absurd? 750ml of water weighs around 1.6lbs.

This.

It always seems that those who scream the loudest are the ones who are violating themselves.

Like Lamont Peterson accusing Khan of steroids, and he pops dirty! Still don't know why his win over Khan isn't a NC.

Andre Berto accusing Victor Ortiz, and he pops dirty.

May weather Sr. talking that noise, and then his two best fighters (J'Leon Love, and Mickey Bey) pop dirty for diuretics (often a mask for roids as well as an illegal weight-cutting tool), and testosterone, respectively.

FACT: Mickey Bey Jr. had the second highest testosterone rate of ANY FIGHTER EVER tested in the history of Nevada at like 30:1! Lol dude had the testosterone of a friggen race horse.

"Nevada commission executive director Keith Kizer said Bey's testosterone to epitestosterone ratio (T/E) was greater than 30-1. Nevada allows a ratio of 6-1."

Yeah - they been cheating over at the Mayweather gym for quite some time.

Spoken like someone who's never cut weight.

dehydrating lbs of water before a fight is stupid unless absolutely necessary. Guys like Floyd/Pac typically make weight comfortably and fight at their best. Cutting water weight to squeeze down a class is for young guys, not vets pushing 40.

People are dehydrated after a work out. You don't have to drain 10lbs to be dehydrated. How do you think they lose the few lbs for a weigh-in?

[SplitSecond]

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?

These pics really show what an ashy mofo Mayweather is. How many hours did he prolong the urine sample vs Mosley does anyone remember?

There are a few possibilities.

1. Underlying health condition that means he is easily dehydrated.

2. W/e gear he is taking causes dehydration as a side effect.

3. He cuts a ton of weight.

[Shape up]

Absurd amount? How is 750ml absurd? 750ml of water weighs around 1.6lbs.

It's the volume percentage change that 750ml makes to your blood that counts and it's a huge %

Stop pretending you're some expert that knows what they're talking about. If he dehydrates 3lbs and has an IV for 1.6lbs his blood volume would still be lower than normal. He was examined by a medically trained person and deemed dehydrated. I'll take their opinion over yours.

There was a video a couple of months ago that showed Mayweather stepping on the scale fully clothed with a hoody on, trainers etc and he weighed 160. After a year and a half out of the ring. He's never cut much weight, he's a small WW.
