    Floyd walks around at 150, he makes 147 with ease. Most fighters walk around about 20lbs-25lbs over their weight (sometimes even 30lbs).

    Floyd would only need to drop 7 or so pounds in a 3 month training camp.

    It'd make a Garcia fight an easier sell, could he do it? 140lbs Vs Garcia sells better than 147 against Garcia.

    he could make 140 but it would not impact the sell of the fight. Casuals wont care harcore fans will buy the event anyways

    Yeah but to be lineal Light Welterweight, Welterweight & Light Middleweight champion at the same time would be some feat in this day & age.
