Can/Will Floyd one day take the Middleweight throne?!

[THE REED]

yea but Oscar wasn't half the fighter he was @ MW than @ WW. He beat Felix Sturm (wooooow), and Bernard...well we know what happened there.

But cmon dawgs...Tyson??? LOL....Tyson was an animal. How can you physically compare Tyson & Floyd?? Two different breed of fighters.

the only thing i was comparing was the HEIGHT advantage, nothing more...

how about floyd and corrales?

I know about 65% of this forum is fed up with Floyd not fighting the real threats and everything... so its gonna make a lot of you seem like... if he wont fight Cotto, why would he ever risk for the MW championship.. You all have a point...

I for one think he WILL eventually fight cotto... with that said...

Ive ALWAYS thought that if Floyd really wanted to, he could box his way to a middleweight championship victory... at the RIGHT time..

not necessarily against Pavlik... but maybe down the line... im talkin possibly 4 - 5 years from now... when the right guy has the belt...


I see him doing it, He has the boxing ability to, to outbox someone even at 160... obviously he would NEVER have the power to do any harm, and if he DID get caught it would be problems... But I still see him having the ability to outbox for the MW Title...... SOMEDAY...

Ala Roy vs Ruiz

he could win an ABC title at middleweight but i dont know if he could win THEE championship at middleweight.

Yes Floyd can win a meaningless title against a crap title holder just like Roy did.
But as a Boxing fan do you actually want that to happen?

[Moodious]

don't see that happening

[Sin City]

De La Hoya is a fat welterweight @ middleweight.. real Middleweights such as Jermain Taylor, Kelly Pavlik, etc. are too big for Floyd and I highly doubt he would be ablet to.. He is no Roberto Duran and doesn't have that animal inside him to win a legit middleweight title.

This is my thought. He could but the opponent would have to be made for him.

[2501]

only if the middleweight champion is really weak a la Baldomir.

So did Duran ever win the "legit" middleweight title?

To answer this thread, No. Floyd's limit is 154, he started at 130. He could probably beat Sturm, but not the natural middleweight that come as light heavyweights on fightnight.
