Probably a silly question, but say if Joe unified LHW, would Floyd gamble on Joe struggling to get back down to 168 and call him out?? I'm not asking for the result (I think Joe would be too big) but to me I would give Floyd major props for even entertaining itand I'm sure people would pay to watch it for a myriad of reasons
If Calzaghe continues to dominate would Floyd consider bulking to 168 to call him out

He would be in a no loose situation, ok he would probably loose his '0' but the great fighters of the past that have gone up, like Bob Foster have been thought no less of for trying. Then again he doesn't need the money, that's for sure, but if you stoked that ego enough....???? lolComment

RJJ would be a much more likely opponent at about 165 or so. Calzaghe, despite being a top, exciting fighter doesn't have any PPV fights under his belt, therefore there wouldn't be enough $$$$$$$ to entice Floyd into the ring. But yeah, losing to Joe wouldn't hurt Floyd's legacy, just like SRR losing to a much bigger Jake LaMotta (outweighed 16 pounds, same day weigh in) didn't hurt Ray's (though I guess beating him the next 5 times definitely avenged it.)He would be in a no loose situation, ok he would probably loose his '0' but the great fighters of the past that have gone up, like Bob Foster have been thought no less of for trying.
