If you magically turned SRL into a full sized heavyweight he would never lose 5 seconds of any round he ever fought.

Heavyweights fight at their natural weight. Mike Tyson COULD have moved down to cruiser using todays "suppliments". He weighed just 215lb when he wiped out Holmes!
Manny and Floyd have mived up to their more natural weights. Much closer to what they walk around at, just like Mike was at heavy
Mike Tyson was fighting at the weight he walked around at. Could Canelo be competitive at light heavy?
As for the difference in skils between heavy and welter. Show me a fighter like Tyson who can stand in punching range and not get hit just using head movement.
Huh? Cus's numeric system was genius and it was even more genius when you had a guy built the way Tyson was with a borderline psychopath brain makeup which was most likely learned. Unlike most fighters Tyson could take instructions and apply them in real time and execute that numbering system in just about any sequence you could come up with. Tyson was robotic in the way that he could memorize those sequences.
If you could transfer all of his qualities as a fighter to welterweight, what you would have in my opinion would be an unholy cross breed between Barbados Joe and Sam Langford. A killing machine.
Watch the video below. Mike cutting the ring faster than Golovkin, he looks far more fluid.
