I've noticed a lot of Floyd fanatics trying to convince themselves and the world that Floyd is tiny and is constantly outweighed by 15 or 20 pounds on fight night. Where does this belief come from? He doesn't step on the scale half the time on fight night, has been at WW for years and years, isn't dwarfed in the ring by other fighters, out muscles these supposed bigger men, and couldn't make weight for Marquez years ago. The man is an exceptional boxer but how people try to portray him as a tiny WW constantly fighting giants is laughable.
He's just a completely normal sized WW. He's not small for the weight and he's not big. He's just a welter these days. He used to be a small WW when he first came up, now he's not.
Everyone has their own opinion on this. There's never going to be a consensus. I personally feel that he is a natural WW.
Only his fanboys thinks he's a small WW. Against Oscar though it was fought at 154 he was still bigger. He was always bigger than all his opponents who's supposedly bigger than him. Truth of the matter is Floyd is a Junior Middle who fights at Welter.
He was bigger than Oscar? :-( Floyd weighed in 4 lbs under the limit. Oscar was at the VERY LEAST 10 lbs bigger.
Other than Pac and Marquez, name "One" opponent that Floyd was naturally larger than within the past 15 years....I'll wait.
He used to be a small WW, now he's grown into a decent sized one. He won't rehydrate much, but he's a little bigger than Pacquiao.
He's not a big WW that's for sure. Most guys that fight at 140 weigh more than PBF does on fight night at 147.:deal
