I'll tell you one thing, if there was a Kovalev in Floyd's weight class, Floyd would have easily beaten him. That's all I'm saying.
I know you're a parody account but real thoughts on this: Punches get much harder and upper torso movement gets much slower in the heavier divisions. Floyd wouldn't be able to survive with his current shell-centric style.
He would have to adopt a more orthodox shoulder roll like Toney used. Or a smothering approach like Hopkins. Just shelling up in the corner doing matrix poses looks cool against welterweights but he would get killed against big guys.
Imagine a guy with Kovalev's power (KO's undefeated opponents with jabs to the body, knocks guys clean across the ring without their feet touching the ground) hitting Floyd flush as many times as Maidana did during the first fight. Instead of looking rattled for a couple rounds he would be out cold/pissing blood.
It was actually AMAZING how well Hopkins avoided being KO'd by Kovalev considering he mounted minimal offense and Kov was teeing off. Even the knockdown was an off-balance, top-of-the-head shot.
B-Hop vs Trinidad > Any win on Floyd's resume.
tito was a blown up welterweight.
Hopkins was a career middleweight.
Hopkins is suppose too win that fight everytime.
with that being said.
may 3
mayweather vs pacquiao > any win on Hopkins resume
B Hop,like Pacquaio has a better resume than Mayweather's.They can't be considered having really ducked anyone in their primes.May has his own who's who of guys he avoided.

If there was a Kovalev in Floyd's weight class...he'd have avoided him like the plague at any age of his life/career.

B-Hop was 49 at the time of that fight. If there was a Kovalev in a 49 year old Floyd Mayweather's weight class, does he beat him?
