i think thats the point they have no real fact behind them just speculation, i enjoy reading other peoples opinions generally. It's just intresting to see whta people think Floyd being at 147 now although not a naturally 147 pounder would beat most 147 pounders apart from Ray Leonard or Ray Robinson in most peoples opinions and even that is debatable.

Seriously you just have to wonder how old are the average posters here? Some of them think Floyd is better than SRR, Then some make ****** matchups by picking a guy who started 4 divisions below a guy to fight the other guy at his natural weight.

If the Ali vs Bruce Lee match up wasn't ******ed enough, we have some posters here who discuss these ones.

True, but the fact is I would pick Floyd against anyone under 140, above that is way past his natural weight at 147. I was laughing my ass of when i read Mayweather vs Hearns, Hearns won a Light Heavyweight title and a Cruiserweight title, Mayweather started as a super featherweight.

Its the same with EVERYTHING man. I have a 13 year old cousin who once looked at me and told me Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan. Needless to say, I gave him the biggest wedgie imaginable and hung him from a door knob.

Like Mayweather vs Hearns, Mayweather vs Leonard and some others. Mayweather would lose to all of them because he is not a natural welterweight, its like you guys making a matchup such as Roy Jones vs Lennox Lewis, Trinidad vs Hagler and other ******ed matchups just because they have fought in the same division. I dont like Floyd but I would pick him against any #130lber, and most 135/140 lbers. Great fighters are great fighters but dont match them up when one is not in his natural weight and the other one is.

What are you talking about? You don't have to be a natural a weight to win a fight. You simply have to be BETTER than your opponent at that weight. That's all

so I assume you would pick Roy Jones Jr to beat Lennox Lewis since they have both fought at HW and Roy didn't look bad? The weight is a big disadvantage and it takes away Speed, Power as well as other attributes.

For the record I pick Floyd to beat Cotto and I think Floyd should be given credit because I dont think many fighters can fight above their natural weight and still beat decent fighters. He has lost a lot of speed since since he kept moving up but fighters like him dont just need speed.

No i wouldn't because Roy isn't as good as Lennox at heavyweight. But that doesn't mean that Floyd isn't better than Hearns or Leonard at welterweight. You can't just assume that because someone isn't a natural at that weight they would therefore lose to someone who is.

Roy might, it doesn't mean everyone would.
