Would Floyd Mayweather be brave enough to move up and fight a middleweight champion?

Floyd is never going to fight at Middleweight......never

He's even much smaller than Cotto, and fighting Martinez at 160 or Ward at 168???

C'mon.....the guys heaviest weight ever was 151. Ridiculous.

[A.K]

floyd is walking around weighing 157-159 it could happen

[4Corners]

What about Golovkin at 160?

If Floyd beat GGG right now without a catch weight, it would be an impressive achievement.

Why??? Golovkin has like 1 legit win right now and I'm a fan of his.

Sam Langford weighed 156 when he fought for the heavyweight title against Jack Johnson. Langford was shorter and had a shorter reach than Floyd.

Let's not forget, Floyd couldn't even make the catchweight against Marquez!

Floyd is bigger than Duran, and about the same size as Leonard and Robinson.

(except for Floyd's gonads, they are small).

You're ignorant. Floyd the same size as Robinson and Leonard???

Hahahaha

Both had 3-4 inches on Floyd and started their careers at way higher weights. You seriously don't know what you're talking about so just stop.

[I Love Jesus!]

If Floyd fights Cotto next he would get SLAMMED on this site. And I may actually agree. I think its a cheap way to win a MW title when people have been demanding him to fight Martinez for a number of years.

What do you expect? Mayweather is a shameless weasel, everyone knows this.

So basically a jr middleweight fight for the middleweight championship.. Sigh

stupid thread.

first of all its not a matter of courage, everyone who fights at the highest level has all the courage in the world.

both cotto and duran started their careers at higher weights than floyd, them winning MW titles is the equivalent of floyd winning the jr MW and WW title respectively which he already has. so, yes he clearly does have the courage.

not to mention the fact that duran and cotto both moved up because they had been unsuccessful at 154 recently and ran out of options. floyd is reigning champion at his weight, nothing wrong with defending the belt he already has considering the amount of options that are currently out there.

many great champions fought in only one or two weight classes, nobody would accuse hagler of lacking courage for never leaving 160. yet if floyd who already fought in five different divisions doesnt make it six its due to lack of courage?

dont think people dont see why you threw wards name in there too, you pretend you are questioning floyd but you really want someone to point out that ward hasnt left 168 so you can bash him in the same thread. you are so ****ing transparent, dude.

moronic thread even by floyd bashing standards.

Duran started at bantamweight.

He was a smaller man than Floyd, but wasn't afraid of bigger guys like Barkley.

[hugh grant]

Roberto Duran, who was shorter in height and had much shorter arms than Floyd, moved up to middleweight and beat Iran Barkley.

Miguel Cotto moved up to middleweight and dominated Sergio Martinez to become linear middleweight champion.

Floyd Mayweather could have fought Martinez. He could fight Gennady Golovkin at 160 or Andre Ward at 168.

Will Floyd ever be willing to fight for the middleweight championship?

He hasnt got many fights left so Floyd just might move up to middleweight, but Floyds no trail blazer that's for sure, he doesn't take the initiative and isn't spontaneous.

He waited for Miguel to dip his toes in the water. Miguel showed Floyd the way, and Floyd just might fight Miguel at 160 now.
