    He can definitely beat Martinez and Golovkin

      If he fought at middleweight, he'd probably show up 155-156 max. Although I don't know what Floyd walks around at and I'm not sure what the average middleweight rehydrates to on fight night. Please advise if you can.

      So, what do you turds think?

      I know, I know: The haters will say that Floyd is actually a light heavyweight who pays the commission to rig the scales to read a lower weight and the lovers will say he's really a lightweight who has to inject himself with lard just to make 150.

      In spite of that, it would be nice get some objective opinions instead of having a 20 page war of crying from both ends. Thanks.

      At 154 Lara and Trout are the only viable names unless Martinez comes down for a fight.

        Before the Canelo fight I always thought he was too small for jr middle weight. And size wise he still is, but with his skill I don't think you can make that argument. So no he's not to small for jr middle weight.

        My bad I read it wrong. Thought you meant jmw

          Canelo is short though.

            So by the vote I suppose we can't add all the fighters above light middleweight to the list that Floyd avoided. Or should we start a second list.

              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.
              be careful, apparently PacBytch is allowed to insult all of the posters, but when you insult back, he cries to the mods and you get banned

                Everything has a limitation sooner or later , a guy that's 150 on fight night should not be fighting MWS !

                Do you just ignore that he is 150 on fight night , because you shouldn't as its such an important factor in this .

                  Sure can, and would get tons of credit for it. Would do wonders for his legacy. Hope they look into doing these fights. There are certain 160 pounders he wouldnt be able to beat but those two are not it.

                    Someone like Quillin would be able to beat Floyd.

                    If Floyd fights at middleweight, I expect it to be a one time round trip to take Sergio's lineal title.

                    I see triple G getting beat by Quillin

                      He is too small. If he comes in at 150 on fight night, I estimate that he'll be outweighed by his MW opponent by a good 20 lbs, possibly more.

                      On the other hand, I think Arsenio Hall is a douche bag, so it's really a toss up.
