****ing ******s here looking at the size of the frame and the size of the arms. I don't like Floyd but this is ridiculous, weight doesn't lie and there are many factors that can make someone look bigger or smaller than they actually are. Bone density, weight proportion around the hips hidden by trunks etc.
Ah yes, the "looked bigger" brigade are out. Floyd is broad shouldered, well defined, has skinny arms and legs....Maidana is FAR stockier, bigger arms, legs, chest, all that. Floyd is built like a cardboard cut out
What could explain the very large discrepancy is maybe Maidana weighed in with clothes on, so maybe he was more like 160. He was still a far bigger guy than Floyd.
I don't think it matters, the size difference between Holyfield and Bowe was much bigger, didn't stop it being a great fight. People sometimes go into weight too much in lower catagories
Garcia didn't even deny el chino was Bigger! He said that how it goes he made weight at the weight in that what matters. So there!!!
Fight night weights are unofficial. Mayweather could have weighed without clothes while Maidana fully clothed. And weighing scales used is uncalibrated and uncotrolled. Mayweather could have hold on something while weighing and showtime would not give a ****.
They looked same sized, and Mayweather was clearly most muscolar. Floyd was around Maidana's weight, no more than 2-3 pounds more or less than him.
maidana came in just has big as canelo but he has always came in like that. rios was about 160 when he fought manny. jr ww and ww are not small men. they all come in damn near middle weights at least more then half.
Floyd's fight weight is lied. It was lied on HBO as well. Not the only fighter who gets that treatment..
