    I don`t think middleweights were as muscled as they are today back in nonpareil`s day.

    Doesn’t matter. He could’ve weighed in at 152 and beaten him.

    It would be like the Hopkins fight, how many times did B-Hop and Taylor trade on the inside? I feel Floyd v Taylor would be a long range jabbing contest and Floyd`s arms are far shorter thanTaylor`s were.
