    I really don't think Floyd could have stayed at LHW.
    Once the late fifties rolled around, he seemed to be a natural 188-190 pounder. Had he continually labored to reach 175, I think his stamina/power would have been diminished.

    He said he force fed himself to be 180-190, when he retired he looked to be 160 in pix/videos, I could be wrong, but he looks like he easily could have stayed at LHW for his career
