    This is why I think Floyd would piss all iver him.

    With Floyds movement and sharpness he could do the same at super middle. When you look at it Canelo was a middle anyway. If he hadnt fought Canelo and faced Garcia instead everyone would still be raving about Canelo and how Floyd would be scared to face him because of the size but Floyd not only faced him he pissed all iver him. Out of all the super middle champs, Froch would be the easiest for Floyd to hit and the biggest name.

    I always used to think that a fighter moving up would just get beaten up but everyone seems to be doing it nowadays. Dont forget we are talking a very special talented, skilled fighter. He isnt getting hit for the strength to make a difference.

    Mayweather has already moved up so much, he is actually weighing less in the ring than he does making 150 for weigh ins. Froch and Ward are really big guys in comparison, they have been at 168 since they were young men, when Floyd was still a featherweight. I don't give Floyd a realistic chance against people like that, it's a mind boggling size disparity. How exactly would Floyd approach training for a supermiddleweight fight, is he going to bulk up to 161 for the weigh in, or just give up 15 pounds instead. Either way it's not even really a fight as much as a sideshow, he'd lose strictly due to size which is never what you want to see.
