And why wouldn't Mayweather weigh in on fight day?

Because the result would reveal that he does re-hydrate into the 160s. He wants to keep the myth going. He a fraud in multiple ways.

Mayweather never came in close to weighing at 160 or even 154. Even when he fought at junior middleweight. The last time they showed the weigh pre fight for Floyd was against Ortiz and he was 150. That was 3 years after his Marquez fight. Mayweather weighed similar vs Baldomir(149), Judah(146), and Mitchell(14 as well which I believe are the only other fights they showed his fight night weight. So saying he ever went up to 160 is not only nonsensical but also ineffective. He used speed not strength to beat Marquez. Height did help negate right hands, but he just outboxed Marquez comprehensively. Hatton however did balloon up to 160 vs collazo and started his career 10 pounds north of Floyd. Floyd just obviously didn’t feel like cutting weight, but Marquez and Hatton didn’t cut weight either.
