    Alright I don't know what to make of this but this is what he said:

    "At 140 I was killing myself to make weight. I was just talking to a couple of fighters here at the press conference what do you guys weigh the day before a Weigh-In? They said to me we're probably 2-3 pounds over". Khan then says to the interviewer "Do you know how many pounds I used to be over? 13lbs a day before the weighinn". Question starts at 5:44 in the video below.

    Khan is still undefeated, he lost because he was weight drained(that's not a lost). At 147 he will be a young undefeated rejuvenated hungry lion. His speed will match or even exceed Mayweather, that's a high risky fight for Mayweather. If Mayweather want to be the best, he should fight the best that's why he's facing Khan.

    In all seriousness have you ever heard a fighter lose 13lbs a day before the weigh-in, how is that even possible?

    Chavez Jr was supposedly 16 pounds over the day before the weigh in vs Rubio. In the UFC, Chael Sonnen was 205 a day before the weigh in vs Silva where he had to be 185.

    So why would khan come in at 147 fight night like he did vs Garcia and not blow up like Chavez would to 180-190?

    I wonder that myself so your guess is as good as mine. I was just saying that it has been done by a fighter before.

    The thing is he looked great at 140lbs and looked poor at the catch weight above that.

    7 pounds in water in a day is easy.

    Broner & Rios could lose 15-20 pounds in 1 week leading up to the weigh in by not eating then not drinking.
