Ellerbe: "Mayweather could win a middleweight title"

[El Jesus]

well currently the middleweight champ is pavlik and theres no way imo that floyd style at that weight could keep kelly off of him. i agree that cory spinks is a similar type of fighter but he was fighting a taylor who had little confidence. imo it would be more impressive for floyd to stay at 147 (if he beats hatton) and dominate there, not to win a title at 160 against one of the lesser guys. does nobody agree?

we all agree, but were not ready to mensturate just yet over the concept like it could NEVER EVER happen. none of us here are saying hed beat pavlik, or KO taylor, we really dont know. we all know its not going to happen, floyd himself stated over and over that hed never go past 154. we all want floyd to cleanup 147 regardless.

Really that is what PBF is doing right now at 147. PBF may be able to handle 147 but he is actually small for 147. Not to many fighters don't put on weight after the weigh in.

i completely agree and in fairness i tend to find a large proportion of floyd fights rather dull.... but can you imagine it at 160?? i mean my god, it would be the ultimate safety game and a borefest

Wrong. I consider Mayweather to be the best P4P fighter on the planet but to suggest he could come through a fight with Taylor or Pavlik and emerge victorious is fanciful to say the least.

MAyweather could've taken the belt from Taylor and I think Taylor Lost to Spinks and thats what I'm basing this statement on.....I also think he can beat Miranda on points. Maybe you guys have never been in a fight before but its not foreign for a little guy to beat a big guy

True indeed about the bold.

I don't find PBF fights boring because I enjoy watching his high skill level at work. I also place more blame on the bigger fighters for not being able to do anything with PBF. It should really make them develop more of a versitile fight game because they can't do anything with a fighter who really shouldn't be in the ring with them based on size.

Miranda would kill Floyd and I don't think you can use Taylor's performance against Spinks as an example because a fight with Mayweather would obviously provide a more motivation for Taylor.

You trippin Miranda doesn't have the skill set to do anything with PBF. PBF would make Miranda look very foolish

[marsman]

I'm going to also state that if Spink would have gotten a belt from Taylor then Eitrher MAyweather or Judah could've gone and gotten themselves a middleweight belt. NOw that I think of it, he should go for that and then retire..then he'll be considered for spot 3 or 5 as on of the greatest to ever do it.....this is off topic I think the greatest fighter of all time is Mike Tyson because he would probably beat all your favorite boxers in any weight class in his prime....also he's usually the guy that people say the other can't beat think about it...put allyour favorites against tyson in his prime....don't u see a K.O

Floyd at 130 lbs, 20 KOs in 27 wins, Floyd at 135-154, 4 KOs in 11 wins. I don't really want to see him at 160, but if guys want to see him do what Oscar already did, why not?

[Randall_Hopkirk]

He'd beat Sturm (current WBA titleholder), of that I'm sure.

To this day, that oscar "W" never really sat well with me, that wasnt just a close fight, Sturm dominated for the most part.
