    Realistically could Mayweather have mixed it up at 160?

    I see a lot of people stating that he looked very small at 154 yet he still dominated around that time.

    The Floyd who beat Canelo, how would he have done at 160?

    Yes, with the right weight, opponent and at the right time, he could have easily won a scrap at 160.

      Too small against the elite guys at 160, everyone has their limit.

      He did good at 154lbs but that was pushing it, Oscar dwarfed him.

          As if he would even face Canelo at 154.

          Canelo is still dealing with that trauma of being a victim by victimizing others.

            he had the opportunity to put a real stamp on his legacy by fighting Martinez.

                tue floyd vs drained 152 canelo isnt comparable to floyd vs real 160 pounders. jeff horn would have bodied him

                  i wonder if he would of defeated legless martinez, the one cotto beat sergio was cashing out. his training was wake boarding or something similar. sergio round 2008 was a bad mofo.

                    he had sparred plenty of middleweights

                    but realistically his limit was 154

                    actually he never weighed 154, or even close... at JMW he was punching above his weight

                    could he win a fight?... or win a title off a lesser opponent?... yes
