    What is wrong with me? I was just asking you if you actually thought he was below 150.

    No one knows the exact weight because Joy refused to weigh in for fight night. What would be your guess? Below 150?

    he looked so dominant in his win over mosley, had a perfect in shape athletic body, welterweight seems too be the perfect fit for him. thats why I say he is a natural welterweight. he is too small for 154, but naturaly bigger than a timothy bradley or devon alexander.

    it's funny how all these *****s were saying that Mayweather was a natural JrWW before the fight with Marquez, and then he couldn't even make 144lbs.

    No one thought he added weight. We all went off his last fights.

    I'd say 155 at best vs Marquez/Mosley.

    I've only ever seen him cut 8lbs. And as you grow bigger you can more. So I'd say 9/10lbs max for Mayweather. We'll never see him cut ala Pac style.

    Ray Leonard was a strong welterweight and was able to move up and fight even light heavyweights. Tommy Hearns was a fearsome beast of a welterweight and won a Light Heavyweight belt. PBF appears now to have settled into welterweight so I think he's a natural welter at this point. But he shouldn't go fight Hopkins or anything. His frame doesn't seem as big as SRL and Hearns.

    Manny has grown into a natural jr. welterweight. He was weight drained to make flyweight. Still if you told Miguel Cotto a couple of years ago that a former flyweight champ would beat the stuffing out of him he'd look at you like you had two heads.

    Yes what is wrong with you?

    Do you start conversations like that with people in real life:huh? I don't.

    I have no idea, it is evident to me that during the 2 years Floyd took off he put on some weight. It happends to a lot of men after 30. His walk around weight is definatley more then what it was prior to HAtton, you can see it in his face. That is why I would like to know how much he weighed fight night for Marquez.

    And against Mosley he looked very filled out build wise. Even Emanuel Steward noticed it and pointed it out during the broadcast.

    Hmmm, So Ray Leonard and Hearns were natural WW's and were able to move up to 168-175. Floyd is also a natural WW now but could never fight at those weights.

    Floyd also fought as low as 130 as a pro. Something Leonard, Hearns or any other natural WW could ever do.

    Why are you nitpicking the way I started talking to you? Why do you care so much that I started the conversation with you with "are you gonna ****ing say"? Chillax, don't be so sensitive.

    Again, no one knows the exact weight. Floyd must've weighed in at over 150 lbs.
