It's because Floyd's skill level is so superior to his counterparts that a weight disparity will bridge the gap of ability.

Why do some posters keep saying Floyd should fight GGG or Martinez at 154?

For boxing fans like us-it would be a matchup of very gifted fighters that would surely entertain. floyd wins-he solidifies himself as the best and shuts up a ton of posters. Floyd loses-sergio or ggg have a massive faether in their cap and worldwide status as the guy who beat the best.
For the floyd haters/manny fans/ race guys/klit lovers/ggg stans/-if floyd loses-they can celebrate and if floyd wins-well they can criticize him for not fighting either guy at his "real weight" or say either was "drained" and therfore it doesn't count.
its a win-win.

Picking out an example where going down in weight didn't work doesn't mean it's not going to work every time.

How about YOU tell me an example where a guy makes a career at a certain weight and after years he goes down and fights successfully at a lower weight?
