    Well? How would he move? How would his footwork be? His speed? His upper body movement? He doesn't waste punches but doesn't throw excessive amounts either so what would his work rate be like at 250+ lbs?

    hmm says . . . 6'7 120 + ******* but with one of the best boxing skills in the HW division.
    probably surpass the HW atgs if he maintains his speed. Great boxer, I appreciate the sweet science but want more excitement.

    Border-line unbeatable imo! If you take Floyd's skills to a person who's 6'7 & carrying extra weight, but not fat, then that's a bigger version of what Floyd already, but also a more stronger, powerful one!

    Why assume he'd be just as fast at that size? Or have the same level of stamina? Factor in the increased muscle mass and ask if he'd be able to do what he does for 12?

    Then he'd save the world and only be beaten by Lex Luther wearing a kryptonite suit.

    he might even take on Cunningham, although Steve's too nice a guy to call Floyd out.

    and what if Jack Dempsey came back from the dead and he grew a foot taller and learned jiu jitsu and they both fought as a tag team versus Big Show in WWE and then they fought Manny Pacquiao and Michael Vick....blah, blah, blah.....:-(

    if Floyd was 6'7" he's have a nearly 4" reach advantage over Vitali, but only 1" reach advantage over Wladimir.
    If Floyd was physically as big as Vitali he would be a monster. Sure he would lose a ton of speed but the he would (p4p) still have an edge over the other HWs. He might even have a few more KO's, certainly we'd be talking about him like we talk about Ali by now.
    Biggest problem with being 6'7" is that his mobility would have suffered a long time ago. Just being that tall and being an athlete puts a lot of strain on your bones and joints, he'd be suffering from the same problems that Vitali has, bad back, bad legs.
