    He looks Today a Natural 140 fighter but like Roach has said he thinks he could still make Lightweight.

    In traditional boxing standards? 140
    But in Roach and Arum's mind, if he can compete at 147 then more power and money to him.

    if he's a natural 140 fighter than he's a ***** for forcing marquez to come up 2 weight classes instead of just 1

    He walks around at 152-155.

    His natural weight class is 140.

    For the idiots out there. 140 would be his best class to take advantage of his size and weight without giving up too much.

    If he fought in the old days, he would fight at 147.

    There is no such thing as natural weight.

    147

    When fighting a lightweight who wanted the fight at junior welterweight, Pacquiao insisted on welterweight. So, the answer is welterweight.

    Floyd has cut 8/9 lbs before. And just weighed 149 vs Ortiz.

    He can, I just dont think he likes to cut. He's seldom cut even close to 8-9 lbs before or after that, that I know of.
