How on earth could anyone, let alone an experienced boxing coach think someone who weighs 151 30 days before a fight could come in 160 or over?
That's a piece of **** if you're heavily weight drained. The likes of Gatti were able to put on over 10lbs in weight in just one day so i'm guessing 30 days would be a lot more. The problem is Floyd wasn't draining himself so it's unlikely that he would be able to put on that much weight. Saying that, Pacquiao put on 6 lbs in one night, which surprised me and Floyd looked bigger than Pacquiao.
Pac was 143 30 days out up to the night before the weigh in and weighed in 152 fight night. I hear what you're saying, but it does happen in these 2 hard gainer/ ectomorph types
I don't think you would be weight drained 30 days out, at that stage you losing weight through diet and hard training , closer to the fight fighters dehyrate themselves big time hence after the weigh in when they allow themselves to eat and drink again, they are a lot bigger in the ring. Sergio Martinez was around 173 lbs for his 30 day weighs at Middleweight and he was considered a small middle.
You dont know what you're talking about. If Gatti etc had to go through 30 day weigh ins, they'd have been 20lbs over the weigh in number. They then cut in the last few days and put it on after the weigh in. Pretty much NO ONE weighs in around their fight weight 30 days out. Most guys weigh in about 10lbs more
Theres no official numbers to say he was 143. Mayweathers numbers are official. The 143 is just Roach saying he weighed this or that. Also we do have Mayweathers previous fight night numbers like 148 against Maidana and 150 against Ortiz. I dont think hes put on notivable lean muscle since then
It is highly unlikely. He was more like 158 or 160. Packman was 152 and he is smaller. How could Floyd weigh less? Actually, Floyd admits he contradicts himself. So if anyone is buying what he is saying, he must be very gullible.
nah. victors write history but it is not always the truth. floyd just won and still undefeated in the records, that's is just the fact. how the fight happened? is another thing.
Who said Pac was smaller? Hes shorter, sure. No one said he weighed less. He weighed more against Bradley than Floyd did against Maidana too. Even Pacquiao said after the fight that Floyd wasnt bigger than him
And the fact is that he hasn't KOed a soul since Hatton. It was in 2007. Almost a decase ago. The Ortiz fight doesn't count. How could you claim you dominate boxing when you score 1 KO in a decade?
You clearly a fool Pac didn't understand the question he thought max was saying was he bigger in terms of stronger than you............ I know someone who is naturally smaller but weight more than the naturally bigger guy when will you learn you sack of **** its to do with how hydrated and how food and water you had before the weigh in Anyone who thinks Floyd is same size as Pac is mentally disturbed even Floyd knows himself he is much bigger
Weighing less and being bigger is possible. Pac is known for having thicker/bigger legs. Thus packing on more weight in his lower portion. Mayweather weighed 149. No doubt. Look at Pac / DLH - DLH was MUCH bigger than Pac but weighed less in the ring than Pac.
exactly but according to these fools Pac is bigge than DLH as well just because you weigh less doesn't mean you are smaller than the guy maybe you eat less and had less water
