    Most of his recent competition was about his height. Canelo, Mosley, Ortiz, Maidana, Guerrero all look 5'8-5'9 imo.

    But anyway don't understand the purpose of this thread. Does the OP think that all these guys lost to him because of their height? And what meaningfully taller fighters were people asking him to fight that he avoided? I mean the only one I can think of that anyone would name is Margacheato. I wouldn't exactly bet money that he'd beat Mayweather.

    OP thinks floyd would lose to a bigger fighter

      Guererro' supposedly 5'8 and Castillo is supposedly 5'7 and both looked taller than Floyd.
      HBO had them both at 5'8"



      The only pics I found shows Castillo may be a little taller than Floyd

        Why is mayweather never taking that risk and avoiding fighters that are taller than him by a few inches? he only agreed to fight dela hoya but he was wasted already and about to retire.
        Diego Corrales was much taller (standing at 5'11"), undefeated, and considered an animal at the time. Mayweather dropped him like 5 times.

            The real question is and what really matters:

            When did he fight someone with longer reach?

            Answer: Never.

              Arm length is something he never gave up which is what allows his range to be the main factor in a fight imho

                  already made a thread like this
                  the only fighter he fought who was tall and a good boxer was an over the hill oscar dela hoya
                  His resume is far too incomplete for him to be considered the best P4P boxer of all time.

                    Read the thread title... "when was the last time?"... so, that was like 12 years ago?

                      The real question here is, when is the last time Floyd fought someone who wears a bigger watch than him?

                      Mother fucker has been ducking guys with nice time pieces for as long as I can remember. It goes unnoticed. Not by me, Floyd. Not by me.
