Floyd needs to move up anyway...and this fight would sell. Why the F not?

klitschko: "I'll make 170 by September 2014"

In other news James Toney say's he can make heavyweight by...oh wait, he's already at the weight now lol!

Rather watch this over khan or danny.

Floyd needs to move up anyway...

... Move up just where? 152? Because he couldn't make even this weight...

(Do you want to see Floyd looking like Broner, last week? The midget heavyweight?)

Hopkins is a legend. Willing to drop 15 pounds at age 49 to take on the best. Respect.

This fight needs to happen and who cares what weight Mayweather comes in at. I heard him say he weighed 146 that morning but he sure wasn't trying to lose them extra pounds when he screwed over Marquez who moved up 2 divisions.

A BHOP at 49 and at 160 would still be Mayweather's biggest challenge because of Hops mystique and the amount of press the fight would receive would be huge. AARP and Depends would throw there ad dollars on the table. Really who else there left? Danny Garcia, nobody's buying that! Amir Khan is no longer credible its either A Broner or Hopkins fughtvthat can generate a sellable storyline besides Pacquiao.

interesting fight

It would be an interesting fight. Probably not the most entertaining, but who outside of Pac can create a competitive fight with Floyd? Bhop has the defense also, and his size advantage would be a plus, but could he get out of the way of May's counters. He couldn't hurt Bhop, but would Hop be able to land enough to win a decision? Better fight than Garcia or Khan! Khan gets Ko'd and Garcia is too slow!

The fact is that nobody can...

I dont really care what he has been weighing in at...he can fight at 160. Like SRL, Duran and others before him...this is what ATGs do.

Floyd is so good that his only real challenge is to move up.

Hopkins? Really? If Floyd is going to fight anyone at 160, why not Golovkin? That's the single biggest threat/challenger to Floyd. If he's fighting anybody at 160, it's Golovkin or bust, IMO, and that includes Martinez.

Look: Floyd can't fight at the middleweight... Floyd's hands are too fragile -- he usually suffers injuries before ore during the fights... Floyd can't fight North...
