    Floyd regularly spars with Cruiserweights and hands them their asses.

    And outside of the Klitschko's, Cruiserweight division is stronger than the Heavyweight division. And if their was some type of H2H Cruiserweight vs Heavyweight tournament that didn't involve the Klitschko's, the Cruiserweights would EASILY come out on top.

    Joe Walcott, Sam Langford, Charley Burley, Jimmy Wilde and more, routinely beat fighters much bigger than them.

    There's a long precedence of this happening.

    Speaking of cruiserweights, Prince Naseem sparred Johnny Nelson and apparently it was fairly even. I know Naz gave Nelson a black eye.

    Fighters with a style like Naseem's or Mayweather's will usually do better against bigger fighters than, say, a Ricky Hatton or Manny Pacquiao.

    No doubt. I'm sure he would win against at least 1 in the top 50.

    When has Mayweather ever been hit by such slow, amateurish punches?

    So basically, he could beat 98.9% of the division.

    :lol:

    If the heavy goes balls out and gets inside floyd wouldnt have a chane if floyds feet kan be like a matador to a bull and makes it a boxing match. I doubt the heavy hits him anywhere at all.... Wish he had the balls of an armstrong, ezzard, or burley lol

    Don't take this seriously, but I find this funny. Check this out.

    Adamek beat Arreola.

    Dawson beat Adamek.

    Pascal beat Dawson.

    Froch beat Pascal.

    Taylor was outboxing Froch for most of the fight before getting KO'd.

    Spinks was outboxing Taylor, but got robbed with an SD.

    Judah ko'd Spinks.

    Floyd beat Judah.

    :lol:

    Yes it's possible to fight a guy who is MUCH MUCH MUCH slower than you if you are elusive.

    Floyd OWNS Carl Cockerham in sparring easily, a journeyman light heavyweight, and Carl is a fast professional journeyman, 5'11', who walks around at over 200 lbs. that is not even a competitive match up - Carl can't touch him. The thing is, only one punch would end the night ... but if they are slow guys they would never ever land them on a guy as savvy as Floyd.

    Floyd has the right style to beat a much much bigger guy if even smaller guys can't hit him reliably.
