    Floyd is NOT bigger than Zoo...MOST of Floyd's 39 fights were at 130 or 135.

    Zoo started at 140

    Mayweather started at 130

    Zoo is the bigger man...not taller...but bigger.

    Boxing has WEIGHT catagories NOT height and reach catagories.

    THINK before you type lil hater.
    i think you need to think before you type.

    when did i say had a problem with floyd jumping up in weight?

    i just said it's not needed to be great because you said a person doesn't try to be great if he doesn't jump up in weight.

    i didn't say floyd was bigger. i said you can argue that he is. like you said floyd has jumped to heavier weights while kostya has not.

    besides it doesn't matter where you start out at people's body's develop.

    manny started out at junior flyweight but i consider him more of a natural featherweight. floyd started out at 130 but i consider him more a natural 140 guy. he can still make 140 if he wanted i think.

      Which one is it?????
      Kostya Tszyu was the champion at 140, not Gatti, according to the Ring and the general consensus.

      Only a fool or a Floyd nuthugger would believe the shot version of Gatti that Floyd fought was the champion. Which one is it????

        Don't pick Zoo or Arguello because they are greats, just look at their styles and ask yourselves how they are going to deal with Mayweather with what they have... give yourself a realistic answer and move on to someone who has tools better suited to that, like Pryor or Saddler.

        And wtf does how they both did against Judah have anything to do with how they would fight each other?
        thats why i think tszyu would win.

        Tszyu had incredible timing and power and was great against boxers. he would negate floyds speed and punch out put.

          Floyd doesnt get ****y like Judah. Floyd has a better D than Zab,. Floyd is a better inside fighter than Zab.

          Southpaws are made to order for long straight right hands, which is the single hardest punch to land on Mayweather's type of denfense.

          You talk about timing? Mayweather was slower than Judah, sat in front of him and busted him while not getting hit to the point Judah completely stpped throwing. Guess how did he do that? timing that's right.

          EDIT: I misunderstood your post, put the las paragraph of my answer first. And consider how Mayweather doesnt need to sit and ply the slickster on the outside, because he is a GREAT inside fighter, now think how zoo has done when left without room

              but mayweather would either be too scared to trade with him (tszyu right hand) or he wouldnt know his weakness. hypothetically a prime tszyu never fought hatton so mayweather wouldnt have that to look at.

                    Too scared? and I took you seriously for a second...

                    No need for the Hatton fight to have happened. Does the name Vince Phillips ring a bell?

                      you really think vince phillips fought a tip top 100% tszyu?

                      I wouldnt say too scared, but rather smart decision. why would he take that sledge hammer right hand if he can avoid it? he pott shotted 10ko baldomir ...
