How would tonight's Floyd do against Sergio at 154 ?

:rofl Oh really?

Duran - Shorter, and shorter reach - 5′ 7, 66"
Armstrong - Shorter, and shorter reach - 5'5, 67″
Napoles - Shorter, - 5'7

and TWO of them started fighting TWO DIVISIONS below 130, 1 of them started fighting 1 division below 130.

Height doesn't equal frame you ****ing moron. Floyd, while not training is no more than 145-148 lbs., Roberto Duran always packed on weight when he wasn't. Dude, use some logic.

Duran weighed 156, Armstrong weighed in 142, Napoles weighed in 153. when they fought at 160
and Duran wasn't even trimmed down like May is.

I don't know about the other boxers you named, but Duran started boxing when he was 17. By the time he was Floyd's age (when Floyd started as a pro) Duran was a lightweight.

 

Roberto Duran always packed FAT, staying in shape would have been much more beneficial, an don't forget about Napoles and Armstrong, take your own advice and use some logic. and Chill joe, it's May not you.

 

And Mayweather has never weighed over 151 and that's after drinking a liter of Gatorade before the weigh in. Armstrong is a legend, but your other examples packed on weight easier than Mayweather can. You're just delusional.

 

which means? Duran and Floyd are pretty equal in body size, except one added 20, 30 pounds of FAT between fights while the other stays in shape. I don't know how adding 20, 30, 40 pounds of FAT then having to drop that weight, can benefit a fighter.

 

That's part of being able to move up in weight. Being able to gain it at all. Mayweather simply can't. As evidenced in never weighing over 151 while eating whatever he wants.

 

Mayweather could've easily weighed more than that if he wanted to. He elected to keep the weight down as to maintain speed.

 

Do you have any evidence of this, or are you just guessing?

Yea, I thought so...

 

Duran packed FAT easier, you are talking as if Duran weighed in at 156 looking like Floyd does. Duran could still drop some weight, also that was the heaviest Napoles had ever weighed in, and they fought some ATG HAGLER and MONZON, can you tell the big difference between Martinez and those 2? I don't understand how any true Boxing fan would want to miss watching such a great potential fight? You're just too much of a fanboy to see your hero possibly loosing. Well as a Boxing fan I would like to see that fight.

 

WTF, a boxing fan wants to see a guy who doesn't weight more than the low 151 fight a guy who would rehydrate to 170+? atsch

Call me a fanboy all you like, but that's just stupid.

 

The difference between between Duran's weight on the Hagler fight, and May's highest weigh in is 5 pounds. 2 pounds between Napoles and May.

There's a FAR greater difference on the quality of fighter each of those 3 fought/would fight

Monzon
Hagler
Martinez

You see the difference.

 

He'd get beat, some people fail to realize, Floyd doesn't belong at 154.

Sergio beats him.

 

No. Oscar is a bigger puncher @ 154 than Sergio. That's not even really up for debate. Not to mention a better all around fighter. Yes. Even that version. Oscar also matches up with Mayweather alot better than Sergio from a stylistic standpoint.

Height & weight doesn't win boxing matches. And Sergio is not a physically imposing sort of fighter. I'm not even sure he's able fight in such a manor. I just don't trust him in the ring with opponent that can both outquick & outthink him. If you look at Sergio's opponents that he's fought at the championship level over the past few years, they're all painfully slow plodders, who he holds considerable speed & agility advantages over, the type of opponents who he's able to beat to the punch with ease. These are the type of fighters that are tailor made for his style. We've never even seen Sergio in the ring with a CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER OPPONENT that has above tortoise-level speed & agility. I very seriously doubt his style would be as effective when he's not the fastest man in the ring. Mayweather is all wrong for Sergio, ESPECIALLY @154.

Anybody who thinks Sergio has the capability of outboxing Mayweather....PLEASE go find a new sport to follow.
