Jones moving up to fight Ruiz was a huge thing. Ruiz is 6'2" and much larger than Roy. When you got Mayweather who is 5'7" and change, fighting a guy who is even slightly taller than Ruiz and a better all around fighter in every aspect as well as throws about 3x the punches, well I just cannot see Floyd being successful at all. To do anything, he will always be in Pavlik's punching range. Pavlik is not fast, but he does have great timing. It is that timing, coupled with strength and power, that would simply overwhelm Floyd.
Floyd as gifted as he is, is only human folks. You need to be fair to him here. He will have enough trouble fighting the Margarito's and Cotto's of the world. At least put him in with guys who are not monsters compared to him.
