WBA/IBO/WBC-interim middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (31-0, 28KOs) has stated, plenty of times, that a fight with Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) was his "dream" matchup.

Golovkin's trainer, Abel Sanchez, is very confident that his boxer is capable of knocking Mayweather out - the two of them ever stepped in the ring.

The puncher from Kazakhstan is willing to move down in weight to make that match happen - including a drop to 154-pounds where Mayweather holds the WBA and WBC world titles.

"I think that Gennady would stop him — I don’t think he would stop him like he did with Rubio, Floyd Mayweather is a heck of a fighter. Floyd Mayweather has proven that every time somebody speaks up, he shuts them up. He has 47 fights that he has won," Sanchez told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .

"We can talk all we want but until he steps in the ropes and we have to deal with Floyd, we’ll find out. I am confident that Gennady stops him within twelve rounds, of course it’s gonna be a lot work, it’s gonna be difficult but I think that he does."
