    Or is that just his style?
    Nah I'd say a clean cut. If he were bald he wouldn't look bad at all.

      Floyd would beat Margarito. The only advantage Tony has is his Size. There is nothing else that Tony does in the boxing ring better than Floyd.

        I'd have to say 130 but I feel he wouldve DOMINATED 140 had he stayed there.

He beat the best at that time in Corralles at 130. In My opinion his natural weight was 130. Its alot easier to talk **** after the man is retired....Yes he should have fought Tzyu, and Mosley... But some of you want him to fight a oversized Margarito. Floyd vs Margarito is like Pacman vs De La Hoya... not fair..the only differance is that Floyd will win.
          floyd was at his peak at 140. his hands weren't bothering him, he was boxing real good, and his power was good enough to stop guys at 140.

          his best weight is probably 135. he would be very strong at that weight if he could maintain it.

            His natural weight at age 30 is 147 (welterweight), that's why he refused to go down to 140 to fight Hatton.

            In his early 20s he was a natural lightweight who drained off a few pounds to make 130.

            But like many men, he filled out in their 20s, and so by age thirty he was a natural welterweight.

              the way he fights weight is not a huge issue, he's destroyed nuff bigger fighters. He didnt have dynamite power even at lightweight, and he didnt look ******ly small against dlh. if he went up much higher he'd get blitzed by someone, but 130-154 he's fine, thats how good a boxer he is/was. i wonder if he could still boil down to 130. . .

                He'd be big at 140 and slightly smaller at 47. He was clearly bigger than Hatton who is considered a big JWW. I'd say he's around the size of a Cotto which is why it wouldve made for an interesting matchup.

                People saying he's a natural 130lber is ridiculous. He complained badly of making weight down there and hes a gym rat.

                  Muscle is such a hard thing to gain...YET its really easy to get rid of. Why would he go down in weigh to fight Hatton when he already build himself for 147. Those 7 pounds of muscle MATTER

                    floyd put on some muscle though, it wasn't like he just got fat and filled into 147 naturally. plus it was just smart that floyd not go back down in weight and risk getting dehydrated and weakened like rjj.

                      bull ****, mayweather didn't want to go to 140 because he was trying to estbalish himself at 147, when mayweather goes to training camp he drops down to around 140, he only walks around at 150 151, he's not a big guy by any means. Guys like clottey, margarito cintron walk around at 170ish. Mayweather is about the same size as guys like Joan Guzman and Ricardo Torres
