    Just seen that Mayweather is 151 and Cotto 154

    but once they've ate and rehydrated what do you think their weight difference will be in the ring? As I've heard that Money May doesn't dehydrate much where as Cotto does for the weigh in

    Floyd is a solid 11 stone fighter (he'd be a top class middleweight in many era's gone past IMO)

    Cotto will be a solid 160lb middle as well I expect, or just over. Either way, he's nothing in the grand scheme of things around that kinda' weight.

    Floyd is too good for the weight to be an issue against quite a lot of the current crop of fighters IMO.

    I don't see Mayweather putting on much, if any......

    Cotto a bit more, I'm going for 5 to 6 pounds by fight time.:bbb

    :deal Exactly. Floyd won't have dehydrated if he was already 3lbs under the limit, so he's not going to put on masses of weight. To put on 3-4lbs in food is an awful lot unless you were starved in the first place. These guys who are putting on 10-15lbs overnight only do it because they've had to cut water weight. If Floyd was dehydrating, why would he dehydrate an extra 3lbs?

    Yup, give or take a couple of lbs depending on whether he's had a ****.

    I'm inclined to think that as well. I think Haglers style could be floyds nightmare.
