Just thinking about this the other day, i know that Winky probly could get down to 154 but say in this fight was to happen a couple ov years back who would you back to come out on top..
Wat an amazing fight this would be style wise, i certainly wouldnt put any money on it.. i know this is past Mayweathers natural weight but he could definalty fight there if he wanted to..
Unfair match up IMO Winky is much naturally bigger than Mayweather and would walk through Mayweather's shots and walk him down like he did to Mosley.Quote:

Think it would be fairly close but Winky on the cards for me.
floyd at 154 seems almost absurd.
But i said the very same thing when he moved up to welterweight and he proved me wrong there.
Floyds retired and even if he was to make a return there are plenty of decent welterweights to get through before he could think about doing the unthinkable and moving up to LM.
I'm not sure but it has the potential to be the most boring fight in boxing history. Two of the most defensively minded fighters in recent history standing back for the whole fight.
I would favour mayweather because he has the ability to change his style more than Winky.
It is a no contest, it nearly did happen, Winky would win.
Well don't forget he moved upto LM to fight Oscar up there and beat him (just). So a fight with Winky up there might not be so absurd. Remember last time Winky fought it was at light heavy so he would be shedding 21lb (officially) that is similar to the weight Roy Jones had to shed when he dropped from heavy to light heavy and look what happened there. I personally would go for Mayweather in potentially the most boring match in the history of boxing. Both at the end of the day are defensive genius' and though Winky would be clearly the harder hitter, I think Mayweather would give him the run around with his far superior speed and outland him 2or3 to 1 on his way to a UD.Quote:
