Ok, here it is, Rick Moranis has barged his way in and shrunk or enlarged every active pro boxer (not sure of the finer details of how) to Welterweight 147. Who would be victorious, crowned the Moranis True P4P Champion. Be interesting to see everyone's top three.
1. Floyd Mayweather
2. Andre Ward
3. Guilermo Rigondeaux
Would much prefer to see wlad klitschko at 2nd place. Fact is he has all the beltsQuote:

I'd say more like if Wlad and Vitali were shrunk to the same size as their opponents at 147, their robotic arses get SMOKED.
IBF - Chris Byrd
VACANT IBO - Chris Byrd
WBO - Sultan Ibragimov
WBA - David Haye
I wouldn't trust this guy's opinion.Quote:

I'd much prefer it if we could reference the below Rick Moranis. I think it'd be a better result.Quote:

I think Floyd would be first Sergio second and Ward third. I would love to see Sergio hurt Floyd as he has the power, Ward would have to outbox him and i doubt he would do that to Floyd.
I agree but I think Ward is quicker than you seem to think. Cotto was getting to Floyd and I think Ward moves as well or better with faster hands than Cotto. I'd like to see that fight, which will never happen, of course.Quote:

Does a fighter 'retain' the chin they had at a higher weight? Obviously power would suffer as there is less but in a Spaceballs like world the shots of a 140 guy bounce off the chin of a former cruiser, heavy type ??? Seldon, Hide comebacks on deck, heffers!
Really in a unicorn world though, I can easily see Ward giving Mayweather probs and taking a W. More than physical, just as ass clown cocky and knows slippery and gritty rough infighting, fast hands. Hey, one of em losses, win win fans ;D
The answer is yes they retain their chin durability and although Ward could make it messy and dirty I think Floyd would be able to handle it. Sergio’s power however would frighten Floyd and command his respect.Quote:

1. Floyd
2. Ward
3. Martinez
4. Rigondieux
It just doesn't work though. You can't shrink people and expect them to have the same abilities.
You shrink Wlad, he doesn't keep the speed of a heavyweight, he would probably have the speed of Mayweather. He wouldn't be as rigid as he is when trying to manoeuvre a body that weighed half as much. Not that he's a slouch, I still remember despite Haye's toe, Wlad looking very quick still in that fight. The guy can move quick if he wants to.
If you monstered up all the other fighters to heavyweight, who would be in your p4p list then? Could a fat Floyd take a big one from even Chisora?
I know it's pretend, but my brain can never really work it out when I really try to think about it.
What is there to think about, this is how p4p works in my head anyway. Wlad has speed as a heavyweight it will carry at welterweight, he will be fast but not as fast as Floyd.
People are forgetting about Gamboa due to his inactivity.
He dominated Ponce De Leon (who beat Broner) and Orlando Salido (who twice KO'd JuanMa).
I wouldn't put Gamboa at #1 due to his lack of a gameplan, focus and tendency to suffer flash knockdowns, but he would be a handful for anyone.
He's arguably the most naturally talented fighter in the world.
He is, but why is he not fighting again?Quote:

Hope not as Gamboa is awesomely talented and I would like to see him back in the ring very soon. Long overdue.
Agreed best technical fighter I have seen for a long time.Quote:
