    Wlad dominates Floyd-type fighters. He'd make Floyd look like a bum.

        Exactly. That doesn't exist in the HW rankings. Not today.

          What I wouldn't give to have anyone like Floyd Mayweather Jr. at heavyweight.

            If Floyd were a heavyweight he would:

            A) Get criticized just like Wladimir is for not knocking somebody out every time.

            and...

            B) Have been knocked out and lost a long time ago.

                floyd lands way too many clean punches to not be an exciting HW. he fights at a HW pace, and at a HW distance. even the guys who aren't hugely strong or powerful can seriously hurt you with clean shots when they're well over 200 lbs. he'd probably throw his jab more, because his arms are so long, and at HW it would be a phone pole considering how sharp it is.



                he would be one of the biggest stars on the planet.

                  he lands much more cleanly than wladimir. his counters that shake guys up at WW would be knockout shots at HW.
