He'd probably be viable from 140-160 or maybe 168 instead of only from 130-147. that's about it. More like a Sugar ray Leonard weight range.
These kinds of threads always give me the chuckle. What if Wlad was 5"11? What if Zab had brains? If Floyd was taller, he probably would have to adopt a different style or slightly modify his current self but he definitely couldnt be the same fighter.
bad example. Wlad is 6'6.. you shrinking him to 5'11 is outrageous.. that alters his entire style. Floyd is 5'7.. changing him to 5'10 enhances him without having him to change his style. It's not like we are making him 6'9.... that extra 3 inches of height is a pretty big deal among the lower weights.
that's why a guy who started out at 130 is about to take on an unbeaten fighter who walked to the ring against trout just shy of being a LHW....
Nah he has signed to fight him so now he is just a slow plodding fighter that floyd prays upon. Just like margarito the fighter people say floyd ducked because hed beat floyd....contradictions, contradictions everywhere
