Why not 140 then? I have heard so many PBF fans stating he has fought beyond his natural weight to show how great he is. Does anyone really think 140 would be hard for Floyd?
I think the most competitive fight would occur at 140 and there's no reason Floyd couldn't make the weight, other than the inherant dangers of losing too much muscle too quickly. Floyd often (aside from the Oscar fight) seems to want to dictate the terms of his fights trying to give himself some advantages and he'd have more experience and confidence at 147, which is where's he'll probably demand the fight take place.
He's the P4P #1 and Hatton called him out, that gives him the upper hand in laying out the terms for this fight.
I thought Floyd called him out recently following Hattons remarks after the Castillo fight?

Anyway I think the fight should be made at 145 to be fair. Floyd could piss it as he was only about 4 pounds heavier at the Oscar weigh in (if I remember right) and it gives Rick a little more slack also.
