There is a small case to be made...

[ykdadamaja]

... so Floyd running around the ring, pot shotting and forearming his way to wins is acceptable?

At least Wlad takes legitimate risks. Floyd hasn't taken a legitimate risk IN IT'S SEASON since Corrales. A case may be made for Canelo, but we all know Canelo was slow and didn't have the punch output to keep Floyd out of the fight.

So let me get this straight.
You're saying a case can be made for p4p for both Klitschko and Canelo??

No, he's saying you could make a case for Canelo being a risky fight for Mayweather.

It's clear Canelo was a good fighter. An elite fighter is another story. He was two major fights too early to fight Floyd when he did.

He can still be a great fighter, but now he will forever be the great fighter than lost to Mayweather.

Wlad would get annihilated against Kovalev or Golovkin if Wlad was a 12 stone / 6 feet tall type size. P4P number 1 my arse.


Most of his game is based around using his size advantages. Take that away and plenty of guys would check his chin.

The only way I could take away Wlad's height is to put him in a different weight class like WW or SMW, so he would still be the tallest WW or SMW & have the longest reach & IQ to use it.

With that being said: there are way too many bulldogs, pitbulls and Rottweiler's in those divisions willing to go through fire to give it.

A WW Wlad would be about Paul Williams' height. Neither Pac nor PBF took him on. So would they have fought Wlad at WW? Or avoided him, waiting for a Sergio to check his chin-chinny-chin-chin?
