    Anyone think Floyd will ever go back down?

    Even if Floyd beats Oscar in May at 154- do you think there's any chance he'll go down in weight again? Floyd is still a great fighter, and his defensive mastery has kept him at the top regardless of moving up in weight- but his offensive style is a bit harder to watch over his last couple of fights. His pot-shotting style he's used his last couple of fights definately isn't as fun to watch as the fluid and powerful punches he used to throw at lower weights. Is he too old to go back down? It always seemed to me he only went up for purposes involving his legacy/track record. So if he beat Oscar up at 154- would it be unwise to move back down? One might assume if he did he would dominate, and there are so many great fights still to made for him under 154.

    If you think Floyd could actually move back down in weight- how far down do you think he could actually go from 154?

    Back down to 147lbs where he has a lot of possible big fights but I doubt he goes back down to 140lbs which is a division depleted of talent at the moment.

    I dont see PBF having a problem losing weight to go back down to 147lbs if he so chooses and we know he will follow the money which is definitely at 147lbs, Mosley,Cotto, Margarito all huge potential pay days.

      He'd be the money draw for most of the fights so I think he will make them come after him . If he keeps fighting I think he stays where he is for a few years then trys the big boys at the tail end .

            I think 147 but not 140. There's more money fights 147 and up for him. And I don't think he would come down to 140 to fight Hatton.
