Who would win, if they fought now?
Before you call me crazy, have a look at this:
Chris Byrd is 6'1'' at 210 lbs.
Wladimir Klitschko is 6'6'' at 245 lbs.
The difference is 5 inches and 35 lbs.
Floyd Mayweather is 5'8'' at 147 lbs.
Bernard Hopkins is 6'1'' at 175 lbs.
The difference is 5 inches and 28 lbs.
Byrd is a warrior and always has been! :boxing:
I think it would be good say if Hopkins was at 160 and Floyd 147-150 but Hopkins would break Floyd down and just sit down on his punches and KO Floyd in the middle rds say 6-7.

this is a fucking joke right? bhop is so far more skilled than fraud its not even funny.
The percentage thing makes a lot of sense, thanks for your input.
With Castillo Corrales: I don't think it was neccessarily the weight difference but the fact that Corrales was weight drained while Castillo was not. Maybe I am wrong.
Dino, what exactly have you contributed to the discussion, except for asking me to get banned for stupidity?
biggpaco123, thank you.

That's really the wrong way to look at it.
Wlad was 35 pounds heavier than Byrd, BUT: Wlad was 15% heavier than Byrd is. (35 / 210)
Benard is 28 pounds heavier than Floyd, BUT would weigh 20% more of what Floyd weighs. (28 / 147)
So, if you thought the size difference was huge between Klitchko and Byrd, it would be even far worst between Floyd and Benard.
The size and weight is a much bigger factor at the lower weight classes than at heavyweight. A simple 5-6 pounds in the lower weights is enough to make or break a fight. You saw what happened in Corrales-Castillo 2. Hopkins would KILL Mayweather, plain and simple.
Nuff said.
Guys, I am sorry for the missunderstanding. I wasn't trying to say that Mayweather had a chance against Hopkins. Actually I was trying to point out in what kind of a situation Chris Byrd was against a guy who was WAY bigger than him.
BPP, you have a valid point. But the difference, even at heavyweight, is still immense.
