    Marquez weight in at 148 and Gayweather refused to reveal his weight but I'm guessing he went above 154.

    How much did JMM weigh? i think its safe to assume he is atleast 10 lbs heavier than JMM. Wasnt there an interview where JMM talked about PBF's weight that night? HE sure looked big against the bloated JMM.

    Considering he didn't want to reveal his weight I'd say it was closer to 160. He looked like the Hulk next to Marquez.

    The biggest he ever looked was the DLH fight and he weighed in at 148 on fight night, so to say he was close to 160 is reaching.

    Floyd didnt get weighed therefore we dont know what he weighed. You can sepculate all you want say he weighed 160, 170 200 whatever. We dont know. He probaably weighed no more than 149-150 tops based on his history.

    If he weighed 150 then why wouldn't he reveal it?

    maybe. but in floyd-marquez fight it is given that floyd will outweigh jmm considering that jmm was required to jump 2 weight division and considering most that floyd didn't even complied with the contracted weight which is 144 despite his nuthuggers claiming that floyd isn't even a natural welter. so fans were curious on how much floyd will outweigh on fight night floyd having all the advantages against marquez.

    Because it doesn't make a ****in difference. He's not obligated to weigh himself just to prove to baseless speculators that he isn't 160.

    The fact is there is no evidence that he weighed anymore than he normally does.

    It would make a difference. If floyd was just really 150lbs on that night there's no reason for them not no disclose that for the reason it is for their advantage in response to his critics about the weigh difference. Having that undisclosed, it's pretty good to speculate that he weighed substantially more than that and which was more likely the case .

    He didn't reveal it because he was hiding his weight from the odds. He probably had friends/family members betting on him. I can't think of any other logical reason.

    And he hasn't revealed it since because he probably feels guilty.

    There's a reason why speculation is not admissible in court and thats because its baseless and unreliable. We dont know what Floyd weighed. We dont even know if Floyd bothered to weigh himself. It doesnt really matter.

    I remember when Floyd fought Gatti, at 140, there were no official fight night weights, but the announcers made a point to note that Gatti probably had a significant weight advantage over Floyd seeing as how Gatti regularly put on 15-20lbs on fight night which led to him getting sued.

    But nonetheless no one was whining about Gatti being so much ****** than Floyd and trying to speculate what Gatti weighed because it didnt matter. He got his ass kicked by the more skilled fighter.

    Boxers spend half their lives staring at the numbers on a scale. Mayweather sure as **** knows what he weighed going into that fight. I'm not whining about it because Mayweather could've gone into the fight two pounds lighter than Marquez and still walked all over him.

    But hiding your weight after going into the fight over the weight limit is just flat out dishonest.
