I don`t think Floyd would have had enough power or reach to have much impact at 160 but could he have been as good as Canelo has become at the weight? I ask because someone on here said Floyd could beat Canelo at 160.
What year? Anything before 2013 he could've done decent. I think he may have beaten Williams and Martinez at his best but they'd be hard fights. He wouldn't beat GGG imo. I think if he took the Cotto rematch in 2015 instead of Berto then he could've won the lineal title. I'd say he could win a belt but I don't think he'd ever be the ruler of the 160 division
Oh hell yeah he could win it! Against ANYONE! SUCH TALENT AND DETERMINATION. I THINK HE COULD BEAT ANY FIGHTER UP TO 223 POUNDS. THE HEAVIES WOULD NEVER CATCH HIM. TYSON WOULD BE SOOO MAD AFTER 3 MONTHS OF FLOYD RIDICULING HIS SPEECH IMPEDIMENTS THAT HE WOULD HIT NOTHING BUT AIR BEFORE WINDING DOWN LIKE A BALLOON AND BEING STOPPED IN 8. REALLY, FOR SUPER DUPER FLOYD THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
At legit 160 and not catchweight bouts?He'd have done okay but I think it would probably be a weight division too high for him against legimate middleweights like GGG.
This would have been a stretch for Mayweather and to be perfectly honest I don't think he would have been competitive above super welterweight. But I would have given Floyd more credit if he moved up and lost to Golovkin than if he stayed where he was and retired undefeated. For a featherweight to move up and even be competitive with a full blown middleweight is unheard of. Floyd loves to call himself TBE, but the most disappointing thing is that he never dared to be great.
Except he had a field day with Canelo, who was cutting a ton of weight to make jr middle and then rehydrating.
Mayweather made a mistake by not going to 160. Martinez and Cotto had the lineal 160 title there for the taking. Both would be fairly easy match-ups for him. I don’t think he’d want to stick around though.
