    To be honest, I'd be suprised if this goes 3 rounds

    That Floyd Weatherman just ain't in Joe's class

    Not much of a concept.

    Floyd is much smaller.

    Too hypothetical.

    The Welter version would lose to Joe very clearly. Even the 135 version most likely, if you're dropping that many rounds to Castillo then Joe's going to be a nightmare.

    But the 130 version, if adapted to SMW or Joe adapted to 130, I'd tend to favour Floyd, even though the comp there was not exactly the type to match his speed.

    At 130, either pick is fine. Floyd hates swarmers, pressure fighters and workrate fighters and he technically lacks the pop to keep Joe off of him, but at 130 he may have had enough and in that case, he can pot shot his way to a close decision.

    OK, so it's pretty obvious you and the other guy are the exact same person. Admins, check this ******s IP address.

    Well the answer is obvious based solely on skill and ability. I figured we might be having some stipulations of some sort to even the playing field a bit. PBF all the way

    The Welter version adapted to 168 would be something like a guy who started at 154 naturally and moved up to 168 declining slowly, this version gets beaten pretty badly the more I think about it. Going into the defensive shell he does and lacking the pop to keep Joe off wouldn't win him many rounds.

    His handspeed at 147 is also very much declined.

    130, you have an excellent fight though, that'd be as if Floyd was adapted to 168 as a natural 168.

    I think he'd win.

    :lol:

    Yeah, because guys with commanding footwork and footspeed never off set his rythym and Pac is so multi-dimensional and fights so well off the back foot.

    Get out of here.:lol:

    Obviously, you're a biased ***** with no clue about what you speak though.

    since we're being hypothetical, I'm picking both to lose by impalement. By unicorn, no less.
