Mayweather reportedly 142 lbs. Can he ever recover from this??

[RightStraight]

um yes. How many people have ever come out of jail and dominate in any sport, let alone be the #1 P4P fighter in the world. floyd aint superman

It almost seems that way sometimes but its a tough realization. I'm 50/50 on this whole thing. It sucks hes in there but he shouldn't have did what he did.

I think its a set up, when he gets released it'll blow his next 24/7 the **** up. If he thinks he can fight again. Plus, if he wins its him being triumphant yet again over another challenge in life. If he loses, he can just blame prison for weakening him. Either way I think his next fight will be his last if he decides to continue after jail.

Food shop and vending machines? What prison have you been to?

He is in a county jail dude. Prisons also have these types of things.

Ever watch the show LockUp on MSNBC.

And no I have never committed any crimes to be sent to either place

[johncods]

Should have thought about all of this before committing a crime then.

Anyway I imagine it being very tough for floyd since he has been living the good life. Dude has like 40 people in his entourage doing everything for him and now he has nobody to even talk to especially since he is in PC.

Every jail has a commissary, which is like a general store, where persons in custody may buy various items using the money on their books. The commissary sells toiletries, snack foods and stationary.

Dont see why people are surprised here. Yea 142 seems insane but its not exactly a weight that he can fight at. He is probably feeling very weak and sickly. Wont be surprised if he hits 140. Think about it. 800 calories and not drinking enough water...its a recipe for losing weight. Plus not working out like he usually does he is losing muscle mass

When Dr. Dale Carrison, chief of staff at University Medical Center, learned that another physician had claimed that a 90-day jail stay would place boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s health in jeopardy, he said he felt embarrassment for the medical profession.

"For me," said Carrison, who was a jail guard and FBI agent before becoming a physician, "it was very disappointing. From the facts that were put forward, I could never do that."

Carrison said Thursday that "at least sanity prevailed" when Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa on Wednesday denied Mayweather's attempt to be placed under house arrest because of "inhumane" conditions at the Clark County Detention Center.

Mayweather is serving three months in jail for domestic battery, beating his ex-girlfriend in front of their children.

Carrison, who stressed that he had not examined Mayweather, had read that Mayweather's personal physician, Dr. Robert Voy, had found that the boxer's health was deteriorating from dehydration and a lack of calories. Instead of eating jail food, he was consuming just 800 calories a day through fruit, nuts and energy bars bought at the commissary.

"If he chooses not to drink water or eat the food, that's not the jail's fault, that's his choice, and the judge obviously realized that," Carrison said. "What we're dealing with here is a spoiled child, someone who wants bottled water and a personal chef all the time, not someone suffering from inhumane conditions."

Muscle memory is a handy thing. He will pick up most of that let muscle weight in 4 - 8 weeks with good eating & training. H'es been in shape his whole life pretty much so it will be a fast recovery.

Dr. Jay Coates, a trauma surgeon and colleague of Carrison at UMC, found the medical claims used by Mayweather's attorneys outrageous.

"What a crock," he said. "It's just crap. If he's dehydrated, drink water for God's sake."

That Voy said in legal documents that Mayweather could suffer "irreversible damage" to his physique from a 90-day jail stay made Coates laugh out loud.

"It's pure (expletive)," he said. "Plenty of boxers and athletes go to jail and resume their careers."

Dr. Mitchell Forman, dean of the Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine in Henderson, said that a world-class athlete can get out of shape in a 90-day jail stay, but "there is no doubt that he can come back to what he was before."

Forman, a former consultant for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said the diet that convicts receive behind bars is nutritionally "adequate."

And he stressed that although Mayweather is confined to his cell for his own safety, he can still do exercises that can keep him in decent shape so he is not starting at ground zero when he enters the gym again.

"It won't be the same as a gymnasium, of course, but he can do push-ups, lunges, sit-ups and shadow boxing."

Dr. Kevin Petersen, a surgeon, said it is probably true, as Mayweather's physician has said, that the boxer finds being in jail depressing.

"I would, too," he said, "but he should have thought about that before he did what he did."

^^^^ well Paul Williams and Diego Corrales should have thought about it before they did what they did too, but shyt happens, what you gonna do

All these over weight people that truly want to lose weight, why don't these just snack all day on small items???? That is one of the fastest ways to lose weight. Probably not that healthy though obviously.
