Is it no coincidence the greatest fighters of our era fight at walking-around weight?

    You just going to put that out there and not bother back it up with anything, because by all accounts he walks around at about 154 and sometimes less.

    In his last fight for Murat he came into the ring at 178lbs only 3 lbs above the light heavy limit and only 5.5 lbs heavier than the weight in. He's weighted heavier in the past because he's bulked up to light heavyweight which is why he hired Mackie Shilstone to pack on the muscle when he originally moved up to light heavy.

    Google "mayweather walk around weight 160"

    [yt]ehMQiwxamJI[/yt]

    Or just use your eyes. He matches his opponents size besides the Canelo fight. He's a big and strong dude.

    His lack of knock downs and knock outs just fits to fanboy propaganda that he's fighting bigger guys.

    He couldn't make 144 against JMM half decade ago.

    He has said it himself.

    160 isn't even that much. Few day's easy operation to 154.

    Mayweather failed to make 144 for Marquez.

    He cannot make 140 anymore, he did not hand over more than half a million dollars for the sake of it.

    Never said dehydrated. But the belief that he doesn't cut anything is a myth. Floyd is the only one who doesn't. At least at 147/154

    I don't think either of them cut at 147. But I could be wrong there. They were pretty big for their divisions when they were at 130 if I remember correctly.
