Nothing you've just said addresses any of that.
    My Bad. Obviously, I didn't read your post thoroughly. But I get what you're saying. And to answer briefly...

    I, and many others, believe Floyd wouldn't have any problem with the current crop of welters in the division.

    Now, of course, its only speculation, but I just don't see anyone in that division giving Floyd problems.

    Sure, he'll have his head snapped back, and his chin tested a few times. But at the physical and mental level where he's at right now, very few, if any, can match or surpass his skill level enough to beat him in spectacular fashion.

    In fact, I don't believe any of them have the fortitude to take him into deep waters and sustain an attack for a prolonged period of time, when he's constantly just of range and fighting back with punches thrown with pinpoint accuracy in every single round.


    He just hasn't lost a fight where he's been in enough trouble to give his fans and his critics some perspective that pinpoint any major weaknesses or flaws in his offense or defense.

    Many say P.Will is more likely to hand him his first defeat. But, that remains to be seen if Paul can stay sharp and winning.

      We need more boxing fans and less Floyd enthusiasts/haters.



      You don't think that there have been a zillion threads about Floyd not fighting welterweights? Seriously?
      Amen bro!

Floyd is also longer in the arms with a 72 inch reach while Ricky Hatton is 65. Floyd also appeared to be broader in frame when they stood toe to toe during the fight. All I have stated constitutes to being bigger.
        Oh lord.

          Floyds lanky frame can accomadate the extra pounds.. Rickys little stumpy frame fills out perfectly at 140, and the extra 7 pounds for him is like a useless backpack with books in it.

            Floyd has the skills to fight at Welter...Hatton doesn't..

            It has nothing to do with weight..

            Hatton is a bigger man than Floyd...not taller..but bigger.

                Is Pavlik bigger than Tyson?

                He is taller with a longer reach...NOPE

                MOST of Floyd's 39 ights were at 130 and 135..

                HE'S A SMALLER THAN HATTON in boxing terms..Since boxing is DIVIDED BY WEIGHT and not by HEIGHT and REACH
                All right is Hatton bigger than DLH? DlH started at 130 too.

                  I guess Hatton is also bigger than Shane Mosley. After all Shane Mosley started at 135 has longer reach and is taller than Hatton but Hatton started fighting at 140, which makes him bigger than Floyd, bigger than Shane, bigger than Oscar

                    Hatton being smaller than floyd = the usual excuse by butthurt hatton fans.

                      Are DLH and Mosley too smaller than Hatton?
