    Would he have won a world title in this weak division? I think he would. What else other smaller fights do you think could have done aswell?

    Too old and legs too far gone imo. Unless you’re talking about a younger version.

    Well Floyd even now can beat jorneyman Rocky Fielding who was lucky to hold WBA regular belt for a few months.

    WBA regular is not a world title, I hope Canelo fights any of the super champions at 168

    This. In the 1st Maidana fight his legs were long gone, which is why he was getting hit as much as he did. Floyd at this point in his life has no business fighting against any top fighters anymore.

    Callum Smith would over power him, he woulda beaten Fielding, a Canelo rematch at 68 would be something to see. Gilberto I think would be to tall and rangy for Floyd and even Uzcategui would pose problems for Floyd because of his work rate and activity.

    168 is so weak, somebody like Golovkin can dominate it without going in to second gear.

    Drug Mule would put a severe beating on Floyd @ 160+. Floyd might suffer a similar fate to Adonis.

    Because its a DOG**** division, and the better competition is at Middleweight. Its pretty ****ing obvious.

    In 2011 GGG chose to fight in the DOG**** division, when the better competition was at SMW.

    It's pretty ****ing obvious that GGG did as much cherry picking as anyone else.

    Hard to argue with that analysis.
