Tell you what...It wouldnt suprise me if Floyd came in as a Welterweight or Below 150 at least.....Floyd will want to maximize his speed and reflex advantage...Oscar will be having a hard time keeping up with Floyd
From what I can see most boxers when they move up love the idea of bulking up their muscle mass, I think Floyd's ego is know exception. If he jumps on the juice then look out Oscar!!

Now I'm not sure why most think Oscar has to try and keep up with Floyd? I know it seems like the way to beat him is to apply the pressure and cut off the ring but here is another scenario..

what if Oscar sat back behind his own jab and when Floyd came in Oscar swarmed him with hooks, rips, overhand rights and then moved back with the jab. Why must Floyd control the distance? I don't think he is quick enough to pot shot Oscar like he did Baldomir and not pay for it.

Bottom line is I don't think Floyd will fight aggressive enough to win this fight and not get KTFO.
