Floyd Mayweather at 147. What about his speed?

[riz]

when moving to 135 ppl askedcould he still have that speed.
result - yes
wat about at 140
result - yes
hol up wat about at 147
result - wats stopping him

[rge]

Floyd shouldn't move up to 154 unless he goes after somebody who is harmless. Guys like Ouma and Simms would eat him up...especially Ouma.

I agree, 154lbs. guys are way bigger, even Vernon Forrest at 147lbs. was very big.

I agree, Mayweather may be able to compete at 154 but if I were him I would stay at 140-147.

i also think so too..... but not for now

He's going to be hit flush more and more as he moves up in weight. He's going to have to sacrifice some of his elusiveness to do damage. It comes with the territory.

Being on point defensively against Gatti and being on point defensively against elite fighters are two different things.

As far as him losing speed, I think he'd be quicker than everyone in the division by a considerable amount outside of Judah. If I had to guess Zabs speed = Floyds speed at 147.

Mayweather will only get hit flush if he allows it to happen. I don't think he would have to sacrifice anything. His quickness, speed and counterpunching ability along with his defense will get him through with almost every fighter from 147 on down. Judah is the only one he won't be faster then but I still think he would outpoint Judah over the distance.

Juan Manuel Marquez would definitely stop PBF if they ever fought!

Every defensive wizard gets hit more when they move up in weight. Both Whitaker and Benitez were hittable as they moved up, I don't know how much of that has to do with them choosing the dark side of life, but you get my point.

Mayweather is hittable and has been hurt before. There is no reason to believe that a guy with speed/power like Judah, or a heavy puncher with quick hands like Cotto couldn't topple his rise to glory.

I believe that PBF will fight one of these guys at 147 within a year or so and I'd make both fights even money.
