I'm not suggesting Floyd is a flaky fighter (no way) but i do believe that round 8 onwards with a bigger guy would be deep water for Floyd.
He just dont seem built for further weight increases, without jeopardising his skill sets.
Never say never! i can see him going up just for a big fight and to catch a title and drop it, i honesly can, u certianly cant say he wouldnt like the idea of bieng champion in FIVE different wieght classes, and if pretty boy is the best pound for pound he would, and also light middle would not affect his performance, he would just be stronger and possibly sacrifice a tiny amount of speed, now making him into a middlewieght would be the problem but i dont see a problem at light middle.
I agree bro, DLH started out ay Jr. Light & now he is a fullfledge Jr. Middle. Floyd would have no trouble moving up to 154. If you look at the guys @ 154 only Oscar & Shane present a threat IMO. I would love to see how Ouma would go, he would be the only one I'd say that would have some advantage with size. But Floyd would box him & cut him to pieces.
