    Mayweather moving up putting himself at risk doesn't even go together.

      Floyd knew he would have been slaughtered. Brutal mismatch, brutal beatdown. Floyd wouldn't even fight Margarito. 100-1.

            Buff Guy Slavic-Mongol General Genghis Golovkin all day...he's the naturally bigger, stronger guy and had an ELITE amateur pedigree to boot.

              King Floyd is everyone's favorite. No one will think that he will lose a fight. When he fights, you can rest assure that he will definitely win. Like he always say, everything is all about timing.

                Floyd could probably still win, but the disadvantage he has at moving up in weight is he just doesn’t carry a strong enough punch. It’s easier to have guys with big punches move up in weight because they give the bigger opponent something to respect, but with Floyd he has to really just utilize movement and defensive nature the whole fight to win. A bigger opponent isn’t going to respect Floyd’s punch which makes it that much more difficult for Floyd to secure the win. Manny P and Crawford clearly have stronger punches moving up in weight. Floyd at a lower weight is deadly but him moving up anything past welter weight would be foolish.

                    GGG. Floyd would probably have been stopped at that point in his career. Not enough power to deter GGG and not mobile enough to henpeck a decision.
