Floyd Mayweather's best performance at 140 or 147?

I have been saying for years that Mayweather has been fighting out of his "Prime/most effective" weight for quite some time. At 140lbs and below he was not only much faster, but he was more offensive minded. Even a more willingness engage and when he had someone hurt...GOING FOR THE KILL. This Mayweather at 147-154lbs is a far more cautious, defensive minded fighter only looking to "out-point" his opponent.

 

out-pointing is smart at the higher weights for Floyd - nothing wrong with that
but the maidana fight raised other questions

for me, it questions his desire to keep fighting. maybe others see it differently

 

dont ever mention marquez with mayweather. floyd couldnt even make it at their agreed weight

 

Marquez was at a catch weight

140 - Gatti
147 - Hatton

 

At 140 Floyd was damn near invincible, he had to move up cause no one could match him at that weight

 

140 Gatti
147 Hatton/Baldomir

 

:yikes


...why?


Anyway, that being the case, Mosley is a decent shout.

 

He had to move up because he couldn't make 140 anymore and still can't.
