    Size is not the be all and end all of boxing. I think Floyd beats them all. If he can avoid Golovkin trapping him he also beats him comfortably.

    You must have been dreaming about Mayweather all weekend. You can't stop making threads about him. Take a cold shower.

    You're interpretation of the English language is apalling. I said it is not the be all and end all. I didn't say it was nothing, did I?

    Somebody that is slick and has a high level defense can easily stick to a plan and beat the bigger man by points. A recent example of this was Haye vs Valuev.

    Floyd has the skill and reach to beat a lot of fighters at 160 including GGG. The only problem for Floyd now is his age. He doesn't have the reflexes he once had. In his last couple of fights his age has been showing more and more. he should just stay retired.

    Nothing to do with age

    You can be the most skillful fighter but if your body can resist a shot their is no chance

    Guys at mw hit far to hard for Floyd to take shots from them

    this is not a hard hitting blown up featherweight we are talking about

    Their is a reason why Mayweather never dared to even fight martinez

    weight classes exist for a reason

    In a street fight maybe, but not in a boxing match, when there is only 12 3 minute rounds.

    All Floyd would need to do is make them miss, and land his combos. His overhand straight would be the perfect punch against all these guys.

    Floyd's gameplan is straight forward and has always worked in the past, hence the undefeated record against the long list of Hall of Famers. I can't see why it wouldn't work against these fighters you have listed, as all of them have a long way to go to even reach Hall of Famer status :good

    Make them miss all they have to do is land any shot on his body and it would break it

    Yes, I do. Clearly, you have made this thread to troll and abuse those that actually know about boxing.

    You know nothing

    weight classes exist for reason and mayweather himself knows this go and learn the sport

    No amount of skill can make up for that much difference


    if so ask ward to fight chisora or rigo to fight rios

    FYI, Floyd fought and was champion at 154. He could fight any of the guys you listed at 155, just like Alavarez and Cotto have been doing. You obviously overestimate the weight difference between light middleweight and middleweight.
