    Well it takes more than size and strength to beat a guy like Floyd obviously.

    But for all his size and strength, he lost to Felix, who had only been at 154 for a little over a year. Oscar, who had just jumped up to 154 (Fernando was supposed to be too big for Oscar), Shane Mosley x2, who had his best days a LW and was a natural WW, and Ricardo Mayorga, a WW.

    So why are we talking like he's going to beat Floyd ass because Floyd is a WW? Fernardo has a long history of getting his ass beat by WWs.

    Love Mayorga but it's not fair to count his win against Vargas when discussing his prime. Vargas was very much damaged goods even when he fought Mosley.

    A prime Oscar probably beats Floyd at welter. Tito could very well get outboxed or land a bomb at that weight. Floyd wouldn't hurt either much to discourage them.
