How far up in weight can Floyd go? He looked huge.

    How far can Floyd go up?

    I honestly think he can beat half the guys at 160.

    Actaully. thinking it over. I believe Floyd can fight at 160, but he won't be able to beat some of the giant MW'S there. 154 is where I like him.

    No I mean he can FIGHT at 160, and beat I say 60% of the MW'S. I really think he can. But, I don't think he can go undefeated at 160. What's wrong with that?

    Floyd is the best fighter of this generation. Pirog is a 5'9 MW. Floyd is 5'8.

    He can definitely beat half of the top 15

    If he went up to 160, it would be a one way trip to beat Sergio for the belt.

    He maxes out at 154 imo

    His best weight is definitely 147 now, but he's that good he can beat a P4P ranked guy like Cotto at 154 despite not even weighing 154. I honestly think he could beat anyone at 160 weighing 152 or less in the ring, but we'll probably never find out.

    He didn't look that big to me. I'm sure he can compete at 160, but it's not worth it considering the risks. 147-154 is good enough.

    160lbs would be stretching it...
    But he could defo compete.

    154lbs is the ticket.

    That's just some excess muscle he put on from not doing a lot of cardio, but lifting a lot of weights. . And apparently eating pretty well.


    He'll lose that bit of extra bulkiness he has now (even though he's really not big at all here) when he hits the gym, and starts training hard. . .



    He has no business fighting above 154. . And 154 is even a stretch. . .

    Drinking a lot of 'protein' shakes in prison will bulk you up

    Floyd is too small for 160.
