    Saunders would walk down and beat the **** out of Mayweather, Billy Joe is way too big for Mayweather, it would look like the Saunders vs. Hall match.

    Isn't this kind of like asking who would win : Andre Ward vs Tyson Fury at HW? (but to a lesser extent?) Ward did say he wanted to move up to HW after beating Kovalev.

    I mean obviously the weight gap is much greater between LHW and HW than LMW & MW, but it's similar stylistically. If you take the Floyd that fought McGregor, I mean I think that version of Floyd would not be able to beat BJS at MW. I mean, lets remember most people thought McGregor was winning some / most of the early rounds vs Floyd until he gassed. How could a 40 year old Floyd seriously deal with the speed that BJS showed last night? 2017 Floyd struggles vs BJS. But you take the version of Floyd that fought DLH, Cotto & Canelo at 154/152, then I think Floyd has a shot vs BJS at MW, but he's still giving away a lot of weight.

    Could Ward move up to HW and beat Tyson Fury? Probably not, I mean the size advantage would be massive for Fury, but could Ward move up and beat a smaller HW like Bellew? I think most would think he could.

    Right now, Saunders easily. Floyd is old and he knows it.

    At their peak at 160 it's a close fight.
