    Cotto is a 5 7 small swat 154 fighter and he matched Floyd physically.

    Floyd simply isnt a big man , but he is a great man .

    150 max.

    154 is it for him. Look at Saul Alvrez, gigantic Super Welter and Mayweather is smaller than him and he would be about average at 160.

    Doubt it. He struggles bad at 154, 160 would be a nightmare.

    pbf, cotto and canelo are all 5-6" to 5'8" guys.

    the size difference between chavez jr and these guys come fight night would be massive.

    as been stated 147 is his best weight right now.

    can still whip ass at 154, but 147 is where the party is at.

    LHW, though if he had boots with a Cuban heel, he could be successful at CW as well.

    he can go to 160 and beat them all. he got the skills, maybe not the punching power, but he can stay away from hard punches and outscore guys like piroq, golovkin and sturm. well martinez would be another story, but he got a chance.

    This is key. This is how Duran beat Barkley, I'm pretty sure. The cuban heel boxing boot.

    It's not that big of a deal. I know skinny people who have been locked up and looked huge when they were released and they were back to their normal lean weight not long after. It's just eating that shitty jail food and working out that got Floyd looking like that. Don't be surprised when he fights at Welterweight again, he'll be ripped at 146.
