    I'm a Floyd Mayweather fan die hard, but he wanted the same thing with Winky Wright that Pac did to Oscar De La hoya. Winky had to weight 154 and couldn't weigh over 154 on fight night. If yall could remember he was throwing jabs at winky that can't no one arm fighter beat him.

    I don't agree with the decision and it's a good thing the fight didn't get made at the time. Floyd's last fight was at 140 and Winkly's last fight was at 160. It was a bad choice

    Actually, when Floyd laid down the challenge, Winky was at 154.

    But at least recognize, when you and your e-friend give pac **** for so called rehydration clauses, look how tried to use them first. :thumbsup

    Winky cut to 154 from around about 170lbs, Mayweather's natrual weight is around 150lbs.

    Floyd called him out in July 2005 after his fight with Gatti in June

    Winky fought Trinidad in May 2005 at 160 and then fought Soliman next at 160

    Bravo. You actually WON one. :roll:

    Still, he challenged him at 154, did he not? Tried to implement a rehydration clause, did he not? **** you guys give Pac a hard time about.

    Of course he has to weigh 154 for a fight at 154, Mayweather didn't ask him to weigh at 150 for a fight at 154. If he weighs above that then he's a middleweight in a jr. middleweight fight.

    What did you expect?

    winky wanted the fight at 154 and floyd wanted 147. i dont think floyd cared to make that fight with winky anyway. only weight drained fighter i see floyd fight was coraales but i dont know how bad he was weight drained.

    So badly drained he was a defending world champion at that weight class and he came back down to that weight class to fight for a world title years later and won.

    The fight happened at 130 and Corrales was the IBF Champion, he got stripped before the fight.

    No. Both wanted it at 154, but Floyd also wanted two weigh ins.
