Could Floyd win the SMW tournament?

[tito yuca]

Lets be serious here, he would lose to every single one of them.

Taylor, who aside from Dirrell has the fastest hands in the tournament, couldn't catch Floyd.... but Kessler, Abraham, and Froch could?

STFU.

Spinks came up from 154 to make an ugly fight with Taylor at 160.

Floyd coming up from 147 to fight any of these guys at 168 is way, way different. Just... no.

This is boxing - everyone gets hit. When Kessler, Froch, and Abraham hit Floyd, it will be over right there, especially if they do it while he's on the ropes or in the corner.

I know the Taylor-Spinks fight was at 160, but Taylor hasn't shown he's any better at 168. In fact, I'd say the Taylor that Spinks fought was much better. He was p4p top 10 at the time. Taylor is not such a powerful puncher, and he has stamina issues. He'd get tired and bored following Floyd around. This happened to him against Spinks, who is inferior to Floyd in every aspect.

Taylor didn't put enough pressure on Spinks, and gave him too much respect. If anything he's fought with more urgency against Pavlik, Lacy, and Froch.

He's not a powerful puncher? He put down solid chinned MWs and SMWs in Pavlik and Froch. If he managed to land flush on Floyd, it would be over.

Considering how ugly Taylor/Spinks and Mayweather/Marquez were, anyone should be shot for even entertaining Floyd's chances in these matchups. I'm a fan of the sweet science and all, and prefer skill over brute force, but if Spinks/Taylor at 160 was ugly, Mayweather against any of the Super Six would be 10x worse. Mayweather should worry about Cotto, Mosley, and Williams, before even thinking about moving up two divisions just to make ugly fights that no one wants to see.

No, Most of them would stop him early, and im a big floyd fan, he would beat Dirrell and Ward though

I disagree, if anyone has a chance to match Floyd's speed and natural ability, it's Dirrell, and especially Ward. Despite the fact they are not big punchers, I doubt Floyd could take a flush shot.

hahaha damn you suck hes too scared to fight a ww what makes you think he would fight a smw?

[Roger Mellie]

Crazy

I have never been less serious when starting a thread.

At most, he can go as high as 160 and beat the one-dimensional Pavlik. 168 is too much.

i think floyd could win a title at 160,,but 168 is too much

Not really. I believe Floyd would school Taylor and Ward. Look at what Spinks managed against Taylor, he never got cleanly hit or hurt, and made Taylor fight his fight by moving around the ring. Floyd is 100000X the boxer Spinks is, so beating Taylor is not impossible. Ward looks too green to me, and he could also outbox Dirrell. He'd have to be on top of his game, but when isn't he?

Kessler and Abraham are just too big and powerful, they'd eventually put him on his ass. Froch too, but Floyd could have some success against him, since he is not a very technical fighter. Thing is, once they get Floyd in trouble, it's lights out.

160 easily. According to some he alraedy weighed that on fight night. But 168 he would have way too many physical disadvantages in height reach etc.

The amount of fantasy wins Floyd has is staggering.

Lol worthy posting for sure.

[SOPH~ REP.]

If Floyd doesn't lose any speed and gains strength he would win

[joartcc5]

If they put it back 9 months?

I think he would win the SUPERFLYWEIGHT TOURNEY at a catchweight of 160 lbs.

[TRAVI$]

People who believe Floyd can fight 160+ seem to believe that boxers have gone whole fights without getting hit clean.
