    If Floyd is so small, why does he insist on fighting JMM at welterweight? Why can't he move down to 135? Answer: he can't - since he's become fully physically mature and completely filled out, he's a natural welterweight.

    Floyd has had a reach advantage over all his opponents. His arms at 26" are the same length as Wladimir Klitschko's, and his reach is greater than many heavyweights such as David Tua and Rocky Marciano.

    Floyd is a fairly big man.
    Your right about him being a natural welterweight but he aint the same size as Oscar...

      entire career? really? you might want to check that.
      Williams beat Margarito and the rest of the welter's dont really want a piece.
      I bring up Williams since he can fight at 147-160.
      Floyds fought some bigger opponents, but they were harmless at the time - which is again the point of this thread - williams is the biggest threat out there between 147-160.

        Floyd has already proved enough to me. 39 guys have tried. 39 have failed. 25 of them even got knocked out.

          Its cool if you feel that way but you can't say Floyd's "scared" and say Cotto and Mosley are not. Mosley turned down a Paul Williams fight.

          And Idk about Floyd's opponents being harmless...

              Never said floyd was 'scared' or that cotto/mosley were. The point here is that Floyd's already regarded as being on a higher level than cotto/mosley anyway. Enough people feel floyd hasn't fought the best at 140, 147 or 154. He fights Pwill at whatever weight, he shuts those people up.

                So him and Diego Corrales were the same size

                    However, if he fought Paul Williams would that in your eyes erase any questions about floyds heart, willingness to test his limits, and erase all the fights that shoulda coulda woulda been made?

                    Win loss or draw here.

                    I vote yes
                    Considering Cotto..Mosley....Berto..Cintron..and Margarito all ducked him.

                    Then yes...

                    Williams vs. Floyd shuts up everyone and would be his toughest fight ever.
