And I agree with you 110 percent and beyond with you on the need for weight classes and the reason for their existence. But, noone (except Bernard Hopkins) has asked Floyd to fight where he hasn't competed professionally before. If anything, it is the other way around on this subject; fans are wanting Gennady to fight where he has never competed professionally. If the stated concern were for Gennady's safety I could understand that a little more as we don't know how his body would react to the drop in weight. If when Sergio challenged Floyd at 150 the stated concern was for Sergio dropping 10 lbs at his age, I would be more understanding as he hasn't been that low for a very long time (I think Sergio began as a welterweight). But, it hasn't been, on both occasions, in which fairness was more on the side of Floyd than either Sergio or Gennady.
Floyd is the most technically sound amd proficient fighter that we have seen and will probably see for a looong time. This can't be logically be debated, I think. But, my argument, here, at this moment, is only that he has been very carefully selective of his opposition at certain points in his career to protect his record. My argument, here, is nothing more or less than that.
