Your just speculating. You believe what you want which is fine, I'm telling you what I've actually seen. No speculation.

Floyd is too active. He's not a guy that can sit still. It's nothing to see him at 24 hour fitness lifting & hooping @ 2am. We're talking about a guy that will run 5 miles after getting out of the club. These are activities that burn a lot of calories. He stays working out year round.


Breh Floyd walks around at 160 tops man, anything more than that at his height and he would look brolic as fukk.

How do you know this friend?

I'm the exact same height and he looks about 5-8 lbs smaller than I do tops.

Well, there's this place called the Mayweather Gym, which is located in china town, which is open to the public by the way. There are scales there. I've seen Floyd step on the scale & brag about his weight & that he can eat what he wants. He didn't even have a fight set at the time.

I recommend yall get a chance to see him in action before he retires. Problem with the gym is a lot of dikkriders around

So because you have seen him step on a scale and he was that weight at that point(which could be :duck:) that means that's what he walks around at all the time. :ohhh:

Why is it hard to believe he walks around damn near his weight class?

Going to the Mayweather Gym to check it out is not a big deal man.

WASHINGTON – Bernard Hopkins, boxing’s ageless wonder at 49, is one victory from becoming the undisputed world light-heavyweight champion and already daring unbeaten pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather to a showdown.

Hopkins, the oldest major world champion in boxing history, won a split decision Saturday over Kazak fighter Beibut Shumenov to take the World Boxing Association title and keep his International Boxing Federation crown.

“The only thing I want to know before I leave this game is that I gave it all,” Hopkins said.

“It’s another page. Every page is history. Money is great but history is something you can’t get rid of.”

Now Hopkins, who turns 50 in January, wants to meet Haitian-born Canadian southpaw Adonis Stevenson, who defends his World Boxing Council belt next month against Poland’s Andrzej Fonfara.

Hopkins, who made 20 defenses of his middleweight crown and ruled that division for a decade, said he would even fight Montreal-based Stevenson in Canada, where nearly all of his fights have been staged.

“I want to be the undisputed champion by the end of this year. Between now and January 2015, let’s do it,” Hopkins said.

“I set out to be the best in the light-heavyweight division. I’m thirsty for that like I was at middleweight.”

But when pondering what could be the final act of a career that began in 1988, Hopkins made it clear he hopes welterweight star Mayweather would answer his challenge to jump up in weight while he drops and they meet at middleweight.

“I’ll give anybody a run for their money. If they are unbeaten I will take their 0, give them their first loss,” Hopkins said. “I could make 165, 168 (pounds) real comfortably.”

Mayweather, 45-0, is nearing one of boxing’s most iconic numbers, the 49-0 career record of the late heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano.

“If I do a fight, it would be one of the biggest in the world. We will do it in a stadium somewhere,” Hopkins said.

“After I become the undisputed light-heavyweight champion of the world, if there was one big fight out there, I know what I would call it – 50-50. He wants to pass Marciano. He wants to get to 50 and I am 50. That would be huge.

“I would love to do that. But let me get past Stevenson first.”


‘Not fighting creampuffs’

Hopkins listed Mayweather, the sport’s top pay-per-view money spinner, as the top active pound-for-pound fighter with Andre Ward next.

“After that, I’m not too far from that number three. I’m not out there fighting creampuffs,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins said the greatest sports feat he has seen was Michael Jordan’s six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls.

“I’m up there with the Miami Heat, winning two or three straight,” Hopkins said. “I want to do as much as I can to (put myself in) that conversation.”

Hopkins knocked down Shumenov in the 11th round but still has not stopped a foe inside the distance since Oscar de la Hoya in 2004.

“I can’t get a damn knockout,” Hopkins said. “Maybe the knockout will come when I fight Stevenson.”

What's crazy is that this fight has a better chance of happening than a Floyd/Manny fight. That being said I think the possibility of it actually happening is between slim and none but that shouldn't stop folks from discussing "What if?"...so who would win between B-Hop and Floyd at middlweight?
someone please make a smilie of b-hops face in this pic:dead:

5-10 lbs is not blowing up friend. :camby: he can easily lose that in water. :beli:
That's all Im saying.


They acting like Im saying Floyd walks around at 185 or something:heh:


He weighed in at 150, 150 1/2, and 151 for his 3 Junior Middleweight Fights......but doesnt get back on the scale after he rehydrates. Why? Because his natural bodyweight will show up and he will come into the ring at LEAST at 155-160.


They're acting like that's a ton of weight or noticeable to the human eye forreal. No way you can tell the difference between a 152 lb man or a 157 lb man. The weight difference is too small. You start seeing the difference when you're 10+ lbs or heavier.


Floyd says the heaviest he walks around at is 152 lbs:ducktales:


I believe it's closer to 155-160 at his heaviest and the ONLY way we will now forreal is if he gets on the scale the night of the fight, so we see what his body rehydrates up too. Anything other than that is pure speculation on anyone's part:manny:

If that's the case then Canelo must have been like 180 and Cotto must have been like 165 170
