If Floyd had stayed at superfeatherweight

He would have fought Naseem and Tszyu. He would be a modern day Guzman. Clearing up his division with ease.Comment

I agree, but I want to add this sidenote:
How come People think Fighters Like Hatton,Margarito, Cotto,Williams who loses up to 30 to 40 pounds to make weight can do it and Floyd cant...
If Floyd wanted to he could have MILKED 130 and 135 and strain his body like
Hatton,Margarito, Cotto,Williams all do.... But he didnt because he did right by his body and move up according to his frame....
Floyd should be at 140 right now... Fighting at his Natural Weight but he is greedy and during the time he was moving up all the money fights were at the higher weights (Oscar, Judah, Hatton, Winky,Mosley, etc) thats why he moved up...
So i think if Pacquaio, Barrerra , Morrales, Would of naturally moved up instead of fighting at 126 for 10 years ( Morrale , Barrera) than Big fights could have been made between them...
Morales turn Pro in 1993 Morralles is 5'8 with 72 reach (Same as Floyd)
Morales in 2000 skip 130 and went 135 to fight Rodney Jones
(I give him credit for that win)
But we all know in 2000 Floyd was the Man to beat at 130, him and Deigo Corralles was on a ****ing Ko's Spree....
So what did Morales do after fighting Jones at 135, He turn around and went right back down to the featherweight division...
Why do you think he did that when big fights like Corralles and Mayweather were waiting for him at 130...????
So in 2002 Floyd went up to 135 to fight JLC....
and In 2003 Who do you think Now Move up to 130...????
ERIC MORALES....!!!!
Barrera turn Pro in in 1989 Barrera would come into the ring for a fight at 120 at 137... For years....
He moved up to 130 in 2004
Barrera
Height 5ft 7in
Reach 70in
Neck 15in
Chest 37in
Waist 28in
Biceps 13in
Forearm 11in
Wrist 6in
Fist 11in
Thigh 18in
Calf 12.5in
Floyd called him Out in 2001 after he beat Hamed..
Man I can go on and on about this....So when you hear People say All Floyd would have never beat Morales Barrera or JMM at 130...
ask them Why did they waiting until Floyd left the 130 division to move up to 130
or why didnt Barrera accept floyd's offer to fight at 130
and why didnt Morrales skip the 130 division after the Jones fight...
Those 3 guys are notorious for draining themselves to make weight instead of naturally moving up in Weight like their bodies demanded..
Morralles : Spent 10 years at Featherweight When he is 5'8 WITh a 72 IN reach
Barrera: Spent 15 years at Featherweight when he would never come into the fight at the featherweight limit anyways,,,
Why didnt they just move up like their body demanded..Comment

If he didn't claim he could whup all those guys a couple of weight classes up from what you call his "natural weight" and then refuse to fight them, he'd get alot more respect. If you're gonna talk smack, you gotta back it up or you're gonna get called on it. That simple.
Who knows? He might be worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence with some of the top 10 ATGs. I think he has the talent, skill, etc...What he lacks is tolerance for risk. If he is unwilling to take the risks required to provide the proof, he'll never receive the accolades commensurate with that level of greatness, regardless of how desperately wants and claims that he deserves them. And then he and many of his fans act all butt-hurt over it. Just doesn't generate alot of respect.
Perfect post homey.Comment

People always talk about how Floyd ducks people but they never mention him being ducked. He has called out Hamed on multiple occasions and he called out Barrera like u mentioned, But of course its mayweather so he was obvousily duckin Lennox Lewis and Roy Jones which proves he isnt p4p

I dont know anyone in their right mind who would put Floyd Mayweather alongside the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson, but if he does all of lucrative things that his haters want him to do and succeeds doing it, then you may have to put him up there.
Just because he is not sugar ray robinson does not mean he is a = Coward. Hes still better than everyone else in this era with Paquiao and Calzaghe being a close 2nd and 3rd.Comment
