What is Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s true weight class?

If it's welterweight, he's not proved to be in the top 7 or 8 all time. Probably further down. He needs to fight the fights the public want to see, like Cotto, Mosley and Williams to show he's a dominant welter, not just a division moving cherry picker.

 

God there are some idiots around.

He apparently had a hard time making 140 when he was coming into the ring at 142-144 at that weight?

If Floyd was boxing during same day weigh ins, he'd probably fit at 135-140 comfortably.

In todays era, I still think he could box at 130 if he really wanted too. He's no bigger than Pacquaio, in fact with the exception of his height and reach, he was a smaller fighter at 140 than Pac is.

 

147 although you would'nt beleive it with the talent in the division and the awful fighters Floyd has fought at 147 !!!!!!!!

 

PBF's natural weight class likely at 147, the weight he wants to fight with JMM who is a natural 135er. He should fight top WWs for him to cement his career greatness, but his safety-first attitude drags him down..

 

He is a natural 147 lb now, if he was a 140lb he would have WANTED to fight Hatton & Marquez at 140.

He can fight at whatever weight he wants to/can make but the fact he chooses to fight at 147lbs says something.

 

i think 147 is best for him
