apparently Floyd weighed 152 on fight night against Marquez

someone said that in the ring magazine issue from December 2009 there is an article that points out that Floyd's fight night weight against Marquez was 152.

Does anyone have the issue and can confirm or deny that info?

thanks

thats what I thought too

 

I would also be surprised at the 152lb weight, I thought it would be higher.

First of all because Floyd's fight night weight hasn't been given since he fought Judah in 2006 so its normal for his body to grow in that period.

Secondly he put on some muscle to fight Oscar at 154 so Floyd is smart about his body and knows that once you put on muscle its detrimental to take it off.

Third I feel that if his weight was less than 152 he could have easily shed a couple of pounds of water weight and still come into the fight at 100% and 600K richer. I know Floyd often fought without draining but that doesn't mean that he can't do it or that he's never done it before.

I read once that fighters sometimes shed 10 pounds in a single training session.

Here's a picture of Floyd that first convinced me that he is a full blown WW. But if its true that he's at 152 then he's still just a small-medium sized WW who could probably make 140.

Its the same with Pac btw. Before the Pac vs Cotto fight I felt that Pac could still make 135 easy if he tried, since he weighed in at only 138 against Hatton. But now after putting on all that muscle to fight Cotto I think PAc would be drained if he made 135 and it would have a negative effect on his performance.
