    OK, nobody can touch Floyd below 154 we should be realistic.
    Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, Margarito they have tolls but they will probably
    share DLH and lose as usually with a slight disappointing margin.

    The real question is how high in the wieght can Floyd go?
    Is he capable to beat onyone from the following guys?

    Wright 154/160
    Taylor, Abraham 160
    Calzaghe 168
    Dawson, Woods, Jones, Hopkins 175
    Cunningham, Mormerck 190
    Toney 240

    no 147 was im too high at first but he fought the guys suited to his weight

    154 an fighting a guy like oscar was a big risk and he performed well

    he imo proved his point now either retire as you say you will or go back to 147

    Toney's frame isn't much bigger than Floyds and he compete at HW.
    But I think thats because he is old school fighter.

    I'd actualy pick PBF to upset Taylor. Look at what happened in the Spinks fight. taylor scraped the decision. Now, I don't want to go down the 'PBF > Spinks, who did well, so PBF would beat Taylor', but it is possible. He has a stylistac advantage and being much faster than Taylor, he'd have a good shot.

    Taylor's weaknesses and PBF's strengths.

    Mayweather UD 12.

    I would pick Floyd above there though. Not against any elite fighters unless he can add muscle properly, whilst keeping his speed and stamina.

    I'd like him to fight a prime fighter first before we start expecting him to go up in weight .

    Perhaps Wright at 154 but no one else. A move up to 160 would be a step too far, something ODLH knows everything about.

    If he ever grew the balls to get in the ring with Winky at 154, he would get shut down.

    This proves Floyd is getting too much credit for beat a clearly past prime fighter. Was Dlh really ranked that high in the jr middleweight rankings when May beat him? Im not even sure Floyd can beat Clottey.

    Its fuot knocked funny how Jones Jr got slack for his opponents but no one has yet to really scrutinize Floyd's ..I mean off the top of the head the closet to prime fighters are :

    Castillo

    Chavez

    And Maybe Judah ..

    Floyd would lose to both Taylor, as much as it pains me to say it, and Wright. For the record, Taylor's a club fighter. He's just in a weak division. And don't tell me about Olympics and all the rest of that crap. He remains unseasoned with the benefit of both an amateur and professional career. His accomplishments far surpass his skill. I guess as my man Sydney Dean said, "Even the sun shines on a dog's ass some days . . ."
