It's almost unheard of for a top fighter to have an open media workout on Wednesday of fight week. However, Floyd Mayweather Jr. invited the press to the Top Rank Gym yesterday, where he had a full-blast, two-and-a-half hour workout. No sparring, but Floyd hit the mits, hit the speed bag, hit the heavy bag, did floor exercises and worked on his timing with trainer Roger Mayweather inside the ring. Floyd will have a final private workout on Thursday, then recharge until the fight.

IBF welterweight champion Zab Judah, meanwhile, stayed in his room Wednesday and declined several scheduled press interviews. DKP's Bobby Goodman promised Top Rank that Zab would be at Thursday's press conference. Judah's promoter Don King was expected to arrive Wednesday night.

While Mayweather did approximately 30 interviews on Wednesday alone, the only Zab-sighting so far has been his grand arrival on Tuesday. Mayweather said Judah's scarcity didn't surprise him. "I knew Judah would shut down, but I didn't think I'd shut him down that early. As Mayweather was hitting the mits during the media workout, you could hear him repeating "He should have talked to the media...he should have talked to the media...he should have talked to the media..."

"There's no way he can beat me," Mayweather said later. "I'll win by knockout." Floyd also revealed that he walks around at 148 lbs. and he's already at 147 lbs. Earlier in the week, Floyd stated that the maximum weight he will ever fight at is 154 lbs
