Could Floyd have won the Middleweight title from Hopkins or Jones?

is this a troll attempt?

 

1. Hell NO!
2. No
3. Not a chance
4. Puncher's chance, but he get's KO'ed 8/10 times

IMO Monzon vs Floyd would had been more fun to watch, I would expect another Napoles-Monzon ending tought

 

Not no but hell no.

 

:verysad Not a chance.....These men are simply too big with just as much skills and talent respectively. Roy has more talent than Floyd.......which is saying a lot since Floyd is supremely talented himself and Nard is by far the most crafty vet in the game. He's got many layers of his fight game that goes beyond Floyd....but Floyd is more balanced than either one...have both Talent and skills makes him one of the best!

 

no the arguement started by saying Floyd won't fight somebody bigger than him and I gave oscar as an example.

I still think Floyd should and can beat Martinez, but if he decides not to, then it's not a duck because he's 2 weight classes above him.

Also Martinez isn't as good as Roy Jones and Bernard. Floyd would have a tough time beating them if they were even the same size.

 

Just admit it, you only said no here just to be fair in the eyes of many but deep inside you even think Floyd would beat a prime Tyson :deal

 

Floyd gets stopped in all of those scenarios. The weight disparity already puts him at a severe disadvantage - but when the weight resistance is coming from all time elite level fighters, it would spell stoppage for most smaller fighters; particularly one that has a suspect chin like Floyd, imo.

 

Punchers chance? Against Hopkins?atsch

 

In a word No....

 

He's too small for the middleweight division. He's not even a big welter.

 

It aint happening

 

A big no.

A great big guy will almost always beat a great small guy. And in these scenarios, Mayweather always loses.

 

I'll go against the grain here: I'd actually favor him against the Hopkins who fought Jones due to Bernard still being green and that being his first title fight. Floyd could outsmart, outbox, and outmaneuver that version of Hopkins. Remember, it was still 2 years after that fight that Hopkins finally picked a belt up.

The other ones, even the Hopkins that fought Taylor, I'd give him no chance barring a miracle in his favor.

 

Couldn't find a picture of Mayweather and Hopkins together. But using Mosley as a replacement, here's the size difference...(bearing in mind that Mosley is also standing on that chair )

...at this point, Hopkins had filled out into a Light Heavyweight, but it does display the size difference between the two.

 

**** no. these 2 are top 5 head to head middleweights of all time, no ****ing way a small welterweight/ natural lightweight like Mayweather does a thing to them no matter how good he is. Mayweather might last the distance vs B-Hop tough
