    Im a boxing guy but my mate watches UFC and he believes that Floyd could fight Anderson Silva, I explained to him that it is impossible as Floyd fights at welter and silva at light heavy.

    i've heard that there are different weight classes, anyone please explain them.

    Thanks :good

    Floyd won't fight guys in his own sport, why would he go to a different one?
