      Floyd is an undersized welter.....
      People dont realize is he doesnt cut weight,, he is always in shape so he walks around at 150 pounds,, or less...

      Floyd is actually a jr welter if he were to cut weight like 99% of boxers do....
      Jmm, manny, etc are not true welters either,,, just blown up lightweights looking for paydays at welter...
      a true welter would be somebody that walks around higher in weight and then cuts to get to 147.....

          Noone Floyd's size can even touch him so people much bigger than him are the only ones considered adequate to face off with Floyd.

            True, but Pac is not too small for his 7th weight class to request CWs selectively, like Floyd has to in his 5th division.

              So instead lets get the cherrypicker to fight much bigger guys in there primes????

              Does this make any sense?

                Marquez shuld've used it to his advantage then because Mayweather certainly didn't, just outboxed him

                  Should have used what to his advantage? His his lack of size? Is that like Paulie using his lack of power to his advantage?

                    This reminds me of people saying Canelo being so big on fight night against Mayweather hurts him more than helps him lol

                      Floyd isn't too big for the other ww's. Floyd is too good. As such, there is a group here at NSB that only wants him to fight heavier opponents that have shown one punch KO power because in their minds those guys can knock floyd out should they connect flush.

                      It used to be ww's were ok for floyd. First it was Manny, until he decided he didn't want to take PED tests. Then it was Mosley, until his punch was withstood.

                      Then we went to the bigger guys. There was Sergio for a while after he KTFO Pwill. Now its GGG at 154. But this soon will change as soon as Matthysse and Thurman are in the mix to fight floyd.

                      SIlly thing is the guys who gave floyd the toughest fights haven't been 1 puch KO guys.
