    Is there any truth to the rumor that Mayweather camp is asking for a 149 catchweight for their fight with Pac?

    Anyone with a skinny here?

    Doesn't sound true. It sounds ridiculous. He weighed in 146 against Marquez and Mosley. Come on.

    Maybe because Floyd is getting close to a natural 154 pounder. To me Floyd looked huge against JMM and even against Mosley. It's also known that Floyd doesn't like to cut weight as it cuts down stamina, something Pac just found out recently.

    Of course he looked huge next to JMM. :lol: What the hell? He weighed in exactly the same for Marquez as Mosley, and neither time was he even at the welterweight limit. And since he doesn't care about titles anymore, apparently, he doesn't have to worry about losing one on the scales in the off chance he doesn't make the weight. I'm sorry, this would just be ridiculous.

    Seems odd for a guy that has only weighed 147 or more in 2 fights and one of them was at 154.

    If you go back and look at the fight, Floyd's trunks appear kind of over sized. Perhaps that gives a false impression? I noticed that during the fight.

    Both camps are quiet right now, which is a good thing. Unless you have some links or quotes, these rumors mean ****.

    I wasn't saying he looked huge in comparison to JMM. Floyd just looked huge. Against Mosley, he wasn't exactly dwarfed by Shane either.

    Shane looked drained/unhealthy. Maybe it's just age. Shane does have the bigger frame but Floyd just looks so muscular these days. I just saw this picture for the first time. Worthy of great boxing pictures if you ask me.
