Will Rick come in at 140lbs for a WW clash with Floyd?

If the two were to meet then i would have to say it would be at 147. In saying that i would think that both would come in slightly under the limit of 147 on weigh-in. Yet come fight night Ricky probs at 150ish, and slightly heavier than Floyd. It’s hard to say what weight he will definately come in at. As we know his last forray at 147 was a rushed affair, and as Ricky has said himself, he would prefer to set up camp in the states alot earlier than he did last time. Also i would think the preparation would be greatly improved and the extra weight he needed would be put on alot more steadily rather than rushed as per Collazo. Dont know about anyone else but i thought the whole training camp for the Collazo fight was somewhat poor in comparison to the KT and fight and even Maussa. Now granted we had Warren trying to scupper things last time out which no doubt would of affected Rick and the camp itself. And added to that Rick was supposed to be fighting Juan Luzcano.

So in essence i think Ricky has just as good a chance against Floyd at 147 as he does at 140, as long as the training camp is planned maticulously and goes ahead uninterrupted.

How do you figure he would weigh about 150 when he came in at 158 for Collazo and was about 154 for Tszyu on fight night? He was even heavier than Collazo by two pounds.

I can understand about Lazcano fighting not coming off, but when they were looking for a fight they were targeting Baldomir first. So they knew from the get go they might be fighting at welterweight.

I don’t get this weight issue about taking time to put on weight. The guy when he is not fighting walks around over the super middleweight division limit (168lbs).

It’s a mute point anyways since these guys will never fight each other.
