30 Day Weigh In: Mayweather 148.2

Inb4 *******s "So why didn't Floyd make the 144 catchweight vs Marquez?"

 

I think it's more a testament to his discipline than his size. Most fighters take their foot off the pedal with their training between fights, he doesn't.

 

He's 5'7" even at his age making 147 shouldn't be that hard.

 

Damn mighty impressive.

What other current fighters are within approx .8% of making weight 30 days out?

 

Well, not really

Most fighters who take their foot off the pedal still get in peak shape for the fight itself- and that peak shape is a weight way above the limit.

So a "big" welterweight might e.g. blow out to 180lbs, get down to his fighting weight of 160lbs, and then dehydrate down to 147lbs and rehydrate back up to 160lbs.

Big difference from Mayweather. Even if he got lazy and blew out to 180lbs, his weight when sporting his fighting physique is around 147lbs.

 

Actually more of a testament to his genetics look at his dad these guys are naturally thin.

 

He's not a big welter but I doubt he could make 140. If he can make 147 that easily it's because he doesn't have a lot of fat or water left to lose.

 

He can make 140 easily, he just doesnt have to worry at 147. He walks around 155.

 

Rigo! He walks around at 122-126 inbetween camps.


Can't wait for may 4th,Floyds work in the ring is a beauty.

 

Those guys are naturally crackheads

 

Yep
Uncle rodge looks like a straight up crackhead, sr aswell but especially the uncle

 

but they know their baxin

 

But many elite fighters enter the ring with hardly any excess fat and are still miles over the limit. Was Victor Ortiz packing a beer belly when he was 164lb vs Floyd?

The only difference is the dehydration/rehydration and I highly doubt that Floyd has some sort of weird water deficiency and couldn't dehydrate like everyone else if he wanted to.

 

I don't doubt that at all, but I haven't seen any actual 30 day weights for him.
