By Chris Williams: With a week and a half to go before his May 4th fight against WBC interim welterweight champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s), Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) is already at 147 lbs for the fight and has been for the past two days, according to Dan Rafael.
This isn’t Mayweather rehydrating to make 147. He actually weighs 147 and will likely come into the fight weighing that on the night of the fight. This is obviously a great reason why Mayweather can’t fight WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez because this fighter rehydrated up to 172 lbs. and above and that would give him a 25 pound weight advantage over Mayweather if the fight were to be made.
