    But he can't use PEDs for this fight, so he will probably be a little smaller :deal

    Yeah cant remember which Shane fight I was watching recently and he doesnt go near 160, pretty sure about 155ish.. Wouldnt be bulking up too much considering he'll want all the speed he has for Floyd!

    nobody knows how much floyd weighed when he fought jmm. Everyone simply assumes its 152 cause thats what emmanuel stewards guess was during the fight. 2nd Floyd never comes in the ring a fat ass. his jr middleweight fight with oscar, his biggest weight ever, he came in on fight night at 150. he ususally doesn't gain more than a few lbs on fight night.

    You guys need to check your facts or at least get it right before you write things.

    Shane was 160 for his Margarito fight, the same weight he always weighs in at. I don't know why so many of you think that he's some small 153-154 welter when he's been weighing 160 for years.

    Shane himself says he comes in at 160, maybe more.

    Floyd looks pretty big. I say he is about 156 atleast on fight night, a guy who cant make 144 cant possibly be coming in under 150. You mean to tell me whereas most fighters have atleast 10lbs difference between their fight night weight and weigh in weight, Floyd only has 4lbs difference? lol.

    Floyd's weird about cutting weight, though. He said after the Chavez fight that he couldn't make 130 anymore and then shows up for the Castillo fight @ lightweight weighing 136 pounds. Either he absolutely hates cutting weight or his body just can't do it.

    Well, he really does. Floyd really gained weight for the DLH fight IMO, he looked a lot bigger for the 154 title fight, and I think he still pretty much has that bulk he gained for that bout.

    Mosley weighing 160 vs floyd will be interesting.

    He only weighed in @ 150 for that fight, though. Doesn't make sense to cut 4 pounds more than you have to when you're facing what was thought to be the toughest challenge of your career.

    Was that the fight where he was "said" to have not eaten a real meal for 4 days to make weight?

    I think Floyd was 152-154 on fight night vs JMM.

    He was 152 a week or so before the fight.

    That fight was nearly 3 years ago...specially in their 30's peoples bodies grow. I have absolutely no doubt Floyd is bigger now than when he was for Oscar. Its like how Pac was pretty much the same size for hatton at 140 compared to against Oscar at 147...
