    admit it - if floyd fought and beat andre ward, you would still feel its not fair that he is ducking sergey kovalev. amirite?

    meanwhile, manny is trying to figure out how to beat smaller men, while you're trying to figure out which bigger man floyd is now ducking...

      He's definitely too small, but as a Floyd fan, I'd like to see him go for it and enhance his legacy. He's got the skill to beat any 160 pounder, but there are weight classes for a reason. My point is, yes he is too small, but I would still like him to try it out, if he doesn't, that's no knock on him at all.

        Yes. He's a Welterweight.

          he'd beat the brakes off of darren barker.


          i still think golovkin knocks him out if he's healthy at the catchweight.

            You crazy if you think Golovkin can Ko Floyd.
            He wouldn't land a glove on Floyd. Far too slow

              Yea I know, not everyone can be a real alpha male like you, talking from behind the safety of your computer all day.

              Seriously though, I'm trying to keep this thread objective. I don't use the ignore function either, I'll just insult you until you cry.

                They were 151 each.
                Danny's definitely going to be strong at 147. He didn't look good to me at the weigh although Angel said he doesn't have problems making 140.

                Mayweather would sholder roll everything he throws.

                  I always remember when Mantequilla Nápoles challenged Monzón in 1974 (I watched that fight). Monzón was a beast but Mantequilla was highly skilled and didn't throw flowers. The fight was totally lopsided, a slaughter. Definitely Floyd is too small. Moving up to beat a bum wouldn't make sense.

                    i would like to see it. if he does make the attempt, i think he should stick to 150. im pretty sure there isnt any such rule that says you have to weigh 154.1-160 to fight at middleweight
