    Floyd would never risk it

    I'd be curious who the oldest champion/belt holder under middleweight is? Usually the smaller weights are past their best and knocked out of the rankings at younger ages. Welterweight is not particularly strong right now. I still think it would be a bad idea for Floyd to comeback

    Cornelius Bundrage at Super Welter 41
    Manny Pacquiao at Welter 40

    These are the only two past 40 years old.
    Donaire at Bantam was 38 and JMM was 37 at Lightweight
    Zaragoza was 39 at Super Bantam

    47 is simply too old to fight at the top level. Same story with Wlad ...

    He doesn't need the reflexes of a 27 year old. He schooled Canelo at 36. 47 is not THAT old. Hopkins was able to win titles at the same age, and so could Floyd.

    If the exhibitions show anything, it's that his legs are shot to pieces. He'd lose to any meaningful welterweight now and that's not an insult. He's 47.

    The excellent Turkey should get him out of retirement and feed him to Jake Paul

    No but I think he could still beat guys at a lower level.

    He looked like crap v Logan Paul, Jake might smoke him now.

    Fightes are shot at 47 most fightes can`t do what B-hop did and he didn`t beat a partucularly strong champ either, plus he looked far better than Floyd did v Logan Paul.
