Floyd at 168 vs......

[BornToLive]

Floyd has some issues with De La Hoys's range & size in their fight & DLH struggled at 160lb's, so asking if Floyd can hang at 168lb's is 1 of the most ******ed questions I've heard on here.

How do you think he would do at SMW right now against Froch, Taylor, Johnson, Green, & AA?

Do you think he could beat any of those 5? Do you think he would make it competitive against any of them? Do you think any of them stops him? Just how do you think those fights play out. Remember, Im just speaking of these 5 guys. Do you think he gets dominated, brutalized, or what?

depends... im concerned how he is going to be effective at that weight?

would he still be as fast? how would his chin hold up against those big boys there...

I'll be happy to even see Floyd at 160 against Sergio.

Out of that list, he can still fight Taylor because Taylor is at 160 right now. But i'm not interested in that match up, at least not now. I'm interested in seeing Taylor rack up some come back wins and become a top MW again.

Gun to my head I take Floyd over Froch.

Power doesn't mean **** if you can't land it... Ive sparred a guy that was 130lbs, I was 185.. I couldn't land a glove on him.

Did you pick him up and body slam him? Froch would.....

Right before Floyd retires, I would like to see it... (@ 160)

Floyd doesn't walk around more than 160. He isn't beating any 168lber worth mentioning. I can't even believe some thinks he can beat a guy like Froch. He'll need literally a 30 foot ring & a ref that won't allow any sort of contact that doesn't involve the glove.

A lot of boxing fans hold Floyd to a very high standard and well some quit frankly just want to see him beat, which is why they must journey to those devisions well above 147 and 154..

IMO 160 is as high as he could possibly go when standing only 5'7....

I want to see the guy who's finally able to solve the puzzle as much as anybody, but people who say size isn't an issue are crazy. After a while, guys ARE good enough to impose their size and skillset and the smaller guy can do nothing about it. Floyd hits harder than given credit for, but guys like Froch, who have limited skillsets can eat his shots like nothing and just keep coming forward. No way. I'm enjoying his reign right now, like him or not but he's masterful in the ring. Martinez - Floyd is possible, and I think Martinez should be the biggest guy he should fight. Anything bigger than Martinez just is NOT worth it. And this is Martinez at 154, not 160. I'm a HUGE Martinez fan as some of you may know, but Floyd has no business at 160 if Martinez can comfortably make 154, and he appears to be able to.


On a side note.... I WOULD heavily favor Floyd vs AA. I don't think that fight would be a contest at any weight...

I think that fight had alot more to do with Floyd than Oscar. Plus, this Floyd is way more comfortable at higher weights

[Optimistic]

He's too small.
