    A faded Oscar caused Floyd all sorts of issues at 154.

    I'd take Mike at his peak.

    Knowing you, you're probably serious.

    Faded de LA hoya? Mayweather wouldn't fight Mike like that.
    Look what Kalambay did to mike the first time.

    Yes, faded.

    At his peak, Mike was one of the greatest JMW's of all time.

    And look how many times he hit him.

    Floyd's lucky that Oscar had stamina issues.

    We should all know by now, fmj can't beat any fighter that's above average from 130 up.

    He's like 0/5000000

    I think this is simply a case of McCallum being too big for Floyd. McCallum had some issues with excellent boxers but there wasn't the size differential to contend with in those cases. Floyd, no matter what anyone says is not a WW, he never was.

    In fact he would beat the **** out of Floyd. He would just tear his body apart.

    People seem to forget that Mike usually struggled with the slick, moving boxer types who sometimes made him look like a plodder. I fancy Mike to beat Mayweather but only because of his size advantage. It would have been a very close match with Mayweather frustrating McCallum.

    Nice post. Very logical. Kalambay for example. Only thing is though Floyd didn't have the power to really affect the granite chinned McCallum.
