    if floyd went for a middleweight title, who would he beat?

    i'd love to see him be a six division champion, and in a better fashion @ 160 than oscar did against sturm.

    that's why i dont really consider oscar a 6-division champ, because of the controversy of his fight with felix sturm for the wbo middleweight title....

    although oscar was obviously fat and out of shape against sturm, he did look/performed better in his next middleweight fight.....

    and we all know what happened when he fought Hopkins.
    47
    WBA - Felix Sturm
    42.55%
    20
    WBC/WBO - Kelly Pavlik
    6.38%
    3
    IBF - Arthur Abraham
    19.15%

    None, Middleweight is too big for Floyd.

    This should never... ever happen.

    He was ****ing tiny at 154. He is pretty small for 147. He has NO business fighting at 130.

    Oscar is way bigger than Floyd IMO... considering how little time he spent at 130.

      If Floyd won a MW title he would be a boxing God. Remember Floyd started fighting at 126. Floyd is really a JW.

        Floyd could probably beat Sturm. There is no reason for him to go division hopping though.

          we would do pretty good against a non puncher IMO , so my pick is felix sturm. im not saying he would win but he has more chance in beating him. he has no chance in beating pavlik or abraham IMO. those guys punch to hard.

            130.

            And he really is a JWW naturally at this point. He could probably make 135 and fight Juan Diaz if he really wanted to.

            Speaking of interesting fights... Mayweather vs. Diaz?

              Out of those 3 he can only beat Sturm, but it's still a stretch. There's no point for him to move up to middleweight when there are plenty of contenders at 147 now anyways.

                    I don't see Floyd beating any of them. Too big of a weight class.
