Can we apply some logic to this?
Size means less and less the higher up you go. Heck, Joe Louis often came in under 200, and he'd put both Klitschkos in a coma.

Clottey was a good welterweight. Let's not forget, he had a close fight with prime Cotto, some thought he deserved to win.
Floyd should have been fighting guys like Clottey, Margarito, and Williams in 2008 instead of going into hiding for two years.

Think about this george foreman in his prime was 6'4" 240 lbs so you really think a marciano or louis could have given up 5" and 50 lbs to foreman and still stood toe to toe with him? ( as neither were dancers)

Marciano had a granite chin and dynamite in his fists. Not the fastest man but the toughest; and had an enormous heart!
