    Floyd @ 160?

    Mayweather isn't tall enough to be able to dominate in the 160 category.

    There are people in the 150's who are already 6 feet tall. Too much weight and too much reach and height.

    Seriously though, if Mayweather were to compete at that weight.....I'm pretty sure he'll be successful, but not undefeated.

    2. Sugar Ray Robinson
    3. Sugar Ray Leonard
    4. Jack Dempsey
    5. Joe Frazier

          Also towards the end of the 11th in their fight, Oscar landed a terrific right that hurt Floyd as well. Definitely stunned him. Very, very telling punch.
          i thought corley did stun him.. but that oscar punch in the 11 didnt stun him.. he looked fine after that punch which was surprising because that was a really good shot

              No, he'd get beat up pretty badly.

              Floyd's a great boxer, but there's a limit to what he can do. He looked very small and out of place fighting above 147 (he's a small to average sized welter at best anyway) against DLH, and didn't fight all that great during that bout anyway.

                Floyd could probably have gone as high as 168 or maybe even 175.

                He would pose a problem to all the current champions in those respective divisions.

                UD12 for Floyd over anyone in those 2 divisions. TKO8 if he fought Dawson.

                  Come on Oscar gave him trouble making him look small and bullied him some. and oscar was at the point of decline durin that fight. true middleweights would bully him all night long and we know that floyd didnt have the power to hurt oscar. I mean he probably could have the beaten some of the lower level middle weights but against the good and great ones he would be dominated although i dont think he would get KO'd by too many except by the Pavlik's and Abraham's of the world. That is something that does have to be said and be given credit to him.

                    Hammer, is your penis shaped like a Hammer? I.E. a relatively thin shaft, followed by a larger more prominent head?

                    Is that how you got the name "da hammer"

                    Let me see it
