If Floyd moved up to super-middleweight

???????????

Where do these mutants come from?

you shouldnt try to talk about a sport you know very little about. just sit on the sidelines and read posts from people who know about this sport so you can gain some plain and basic common sense.

Floyd moving to super-middleweight? Hmm, I guess that'd be one way to avoid Cotto.

Anybody who thinks that Margarito would beat Floyd shouldn't tell somebody else about boxing knowledge.


Do we need to get Rodney Jones back out of retirement to beat Margarito again to put you delusional Margarito fans back down to earth?

It would be like Spinks Tyson all over again.

If Floyd did not want to jump that high he could fight Pavlik. Guess what? It would also be like Spinks Tyson all over again.

Floyd doesn't fight the best guys at 147, now you want him to move up to 168. Who is he gonna fight there? He won't fight Cal, Bute, Kessler, Miranda, Green.

I thought about that a couple of day ago,. If they meet 160-164 i think floyd could take him

Why would Calzaghe fight at a lower weight than he ever has in his entire career? At 168 and up, Floyd gets his ass kicked, and it wouldn't even be close.

Because it would be a career high payday and Joe is after the money right now.

Because he would be motivated to give the P4P best fighter in the world his first loss.

If Floyd offered Joe this fight at 162lb...........Joe would take it.

Before his wrestling debut he weighed in at 159lbs. He only needs 2 more pounds to offically be a super-middleweight.

If a out of shape James Toney can be competitive witha natural heavyweight in Peter - a guy who gave the best HW Wlad Klitschko all he could handle 2 fights before that....then you can't say that Floyd has no chance in beating Joe at a 161/162 catchweight.

Unlike James Toney he still would be in excellent fighting shape even at that weight. Anybody with great boxing skills has a shot at beating Joe...old as no punches throwing Hopkins showed that. Lets be real here.






Critics........start typing away.

Are you suggesting a former super. featherweight (and mind, the greatest fighter to grace 130 IMO) is going to beat on skills a big lefty supermiddleweight who throws 100 (mostly looping) punches a round (call them slaps, whatever...)?

Interesting suggestion...

Consider how Mayweather was caught clean almost only by by lefties, and almost only with looping punches thrown by lefties.



EDIT: Not to mention that JC is a great fighter...

[OhNo]

lol...

the thread starter is a complete moron.

and anyone that agree's with him is a complete and utter moron.

fellas, ask yourselves....how BAD would ricky hatton get ****ed up by zag? Or Carlos Baldomir? Or even Oscar Delahoya?

Answer: Extremely, extremely bad.

Floyd aint got fook all on Zag.

No ****ing way. Calzaghe is likely already a multimillionaire and is looking at big paying fights against faded veterans like Roy Jones. No chance he's going to risk his unbeaten record and starve himself to be in a nothing to gain situation. Would it help Joe's reputation if he beat a blown up welterweight? Hell no. This is a no win situation for Calzaghe and I'm sure he would laugh at the proposition.
