If Floyd moved up to super-middleweight

[Vladimir303]

and even at 159 lbs or whatever, i gurantee floid will still hit with all the power of a 140 lber. if a real supermiddle could land flush on floid's chin he'd get knocked the **** out, pbf has never tasted that kind of power in his life. a punch flush on the dome from kelly pavlik or kessler would scramble floid's brains

We're not talking about Kessler or Pavlik..........but Slappy Joe.

However even with those two.....there is a difference between IF they were to hit him and when they hit him.

IF and it's a big if. Floyd doesn't take many flush shots and the few that did and got him hurt, he stayed calm and recovered pretty well.

Those two scrambling his brains is an exaggeration anyway.

You have factored in Floyd's fragile condition of his hands along with his loss of speed and power?

Not an issue unless it becomes an issue during the fight.

real supermiddles can weigh as much as 180 lbs the day after the weigh in, sometimes more. a fatter slower floid would be easy to hit, and this would be a lt hw or even a cuiserweight ( if it was calzaghe ) who walks around at 190+ lbs. floid started at 130, come on, he can't take a punch from 180 lb man, corley and judah rocked him at 140 /147, even joe calzaghe's slaps would seriously hurt floid at supermiddle

Respectfully that is what we're talking about not a knitting match.

****, after his stint in the World Steroid Federation, why the **** not?

Joe's slaps might hurt a guy without defense but as we've already covered it......Floyd's defense and rolling off punches wouldn't allow Joe's slappy punches to do any serious damage.

Floyd transcends weight like Pernell Whitaker and James Toney. Skills paid the bills for those two against many bigger and stronger fighters. The difference is, Floyd at 162lbs would still come in fighting shape as usual.


AGAIN.....my belief in Floyd beating Joe does not come because of Floyd but more because of the way Joe fights.

Styles make fights and I'm pretty sure about this. Floyd would outpoint Joe.

Umm doesnt Joe also have hand problems...yet they are both undefeated.

Because it could represent actual danger?

Joe never moved up from 130lbs.
