Initially I thought Mayweather meeting GGG at 154 would be a bad move for Money May because of the weight disadvantage. The more I think about it, Mayweather is so much better than GGG, he can handle him at 154.
However, just to keep it fair, Mayweather should ensure the fight is at 152 (Make GGG sweat since he wants the shot of his career).
Mayweather would wipe the floor with GGG. First off, GGG's defense is not world class. Look at how he followed Macklin around the ring instead of cutting it off. He also follows with no head movement.
Secondly, Floyd knows how to tie up. That is a very important skill to utilize. Holding can prevent boxers like GGG from getting into punching rhythm. Mayweather, Ward and Hopkins are MASTERS at this.
Lastly, Floyd punches too fast and crisp for GGG to deal with. GGG is not overly fast and he walks in, at times, with his hands low. He also walks in without jabbing first.
Floyd will tatoo his face - Guerrero style - all night long. Floyd would be too fast (offensively and defensively), to crafty and too smart for GGG to deal with.
I hope GGG does cut the weight and come on down to 152. After Floyd whoops Canelo and GGG, he's Ray Robinson status.
Call me what you want, but I speak the truth. 44-0.

I think the only person this would be easy money for is "GGG." I'm not saying he would win easily over Floyd but one thing would be utterly guaranteed and that'd be he'd get one heck of a payday. I can see shades of Hagler-Leonard but forecasting a Mayweather win or even the remotest possibility of this fight happening is premature. Essentially what a thread like this does is enliven a thoughtless but spirited debate. Mayweather has a great chin but he'd be facing a fighter younger and potentially much stronger.
As fighters age their challenges become more daunting. Nature has its limits and since Floyd Mayweather is natural, so does he.
lets see if ggg can walk through floyd at 152...
doubt it.
and for all the crybabies that cry about the catchweight.... FINE...ggg can move up to 168 and face ANDRE WARD. but ggg, or his team, of his fans, doesn't want any part of mr. ward.
pathetic.
You are delusional man stop ripping GGG he is cool humble dude not like some fighters out there.. hagler stayed at 160 his whole life Hopkins would have as well if he didn't lose to Taylor hopkins fought 20 defenses at middleweight nobody cried about them moving up GGG enjoy his middleweight tear for a bit also 160-168 is the biggest jump let that man have his fun at 160 he makes comfortably ... back to may weather you are silly man big fan of Floyd but he is 5'6 small dude ... golovkin is going to wear him out like my post said before keep you bias mind out may weather pop shots won't do nothing to keep golovkin honest ...Jesus man go watch cotto Hatton and deloya fights then tell me he beats 160 pounder who could hurt a 168 pounders golovkin does crafty things in there the way he throws in variations the way he glides or his step back or his jab powerful and quick your hatred is blinding you from enjoying a humble middleweight that has a fan friendly style sad really why everybody just enjoy these fighters man its a cruel sport but beautiful as well
At 152 I really don't think GGG is healthy. @154 I still feel GGG would be drained. Stylistically, I think GGG has chance to beat Floyd if they were to fight @154 I know Floyd's legs looked great in his last fight, but Guerrero was a sick hell of a joke to be put in with Floyd.
Hard to judge the fight since no one has given GGG a reason to change his approach to KOing his opponents. Most feel his power which allows him to stalk easily, punching with GGG isn't that smart either. Can he hit Floyd? Maybe.. GGG is a silver medalist with over 300 bouts I'm sure he has fought some slick and crafty boxers, we'll have to see how Floyd looks at 152 to assess it any further.
Floyd is the beast tamer.
Manfredy was supposed to be a beast.
Corrales was supposed to be a beast. Oh yea, he lost all his boxing skills because he was going to jail.
Castillo was supposed to be a beast. Oh yea, Castillo was "ROBBED".
De La Hoya was supposed to be a beast. Oh yea, Oscar got a split dec.
Mosley was supposed to be a beast. Oh yea, Mosley was shot to hell even though his fight prior was Margarito.
Canelo was supposed to be a beast. TBA
GGG was supposed to be a beast. TBA
GGG's skills aren't on Mayweather's level. Period. Power can only get you so far.
What in the absolute f*ck did I just read. I don't think my eyes have ever digested so much wrong in so little time.
What's so hard to understand abt that post? Its fact!
To many idiots in these forums .. first off it will never be a duck mayweather should never fight him .... have see his fights at 154 vs old deloya which came out a split decision and vs faded short cotto ? Who in the end the of the fight may weather in locker room said I can't take this punishment like this smh go back and watch.. now you think a prime hits harder then anybody at 160 golovkin ... you think those small potshots would work against golovkin he won't even feel them and walk him down Jesus go back to midget Ricky hatton mayweather worked hard every round contrary to belief go back to Castillo ... man people on here are delusional golovkin would smile at those one punch at a time **** smh another thing Guerrero and victor Ortiz has one hand golovkin throws perfect with both mahweather will feel his power and run like crazy he won't even win a decision it be something like my fellow Cuban Lara vs angulo but worst because golovkin has better feet movement faster and doesn't get hit flush like many haters think ...mayweather and all are not machines stop this nonsense

canelo is no beast. he has one win over a top contender in 40+ fights. its an easy fight for floyd. he will get no credit when he wins.
floyd could have gotten a butt load of credit for beating martinez a year or two ago he was willing to come to 154 lbs but floyd took a pass on that and now is very eager to face canelo. it doesnt take a rocket science to figure it out
martinez was a high risk
canelo low risk very high reward
floyd would definitely get credit for beating GGG
LMAOO!
Your post was the definition of HYPOCRISY!
Now Canelo is no beast, but Sergio and GGG are.
You Mayweather haters should seriously euthanize yourselves.
Ray Robinson never fought a catchweight. Win,lose or draw Robinson fought at the standard weight of the title he was fighting for. He fought Maxim for Maxim for Maxim's light heavyweight title at the full weight limit of 175. Maxim weighed in at 174 pounds and Robinson weighed in at 157 and that was when they weighed in on the afternoon of the fight. Floyd is 44 and 0 because he is very careful who he fights and when he fights them and now you can add how much weight he drains them down to.
If the worst you can do is to compare Floyd to RAY ROBINSON then I'm pretty sure you agree Floyd is a legend.
only if mayweather was as confident in his abilities to defeate everyone as his fans are !!!!
mayweather fans - " mayweather would easily beat morales and barrera"
mayweather ducks them
maywether fans - "mayweather will easily beat manny"
mayweather ducks him !!! even though manny agrees to all of his demands !!!!
mayweather fans - "mayweather will beat sergio easily as 1+1"
mayweather never fights sergio sergio hurts himself and is a shell of his former self
same thing with ggg !! mayweather fans declare mayweather will crush ggg !!! but mayweather ducks him to fight bums like guerro or a gree alverez !!!!!!
like i told you before morales and barrera were never in the same division at the same time as floyd mayweather. when are you going to understand this fact???
how many years did it take manny to agree to the drug test?
look what has happened since. two lossses. hmmmmmm
If Mayweather is so good then why can't he fight GGG at 154 which is the weight Mayweather is supposed to be champion of. Is 152 a new weight class created just for Mr. wonderful Mayweather? I guess you would want GGG's middleweight title to be at stake if he fights Floyd at 152, right? GGG is not stupid. He won't agree to fight Mayweather at 152. He said he would fight Mayweather at 154 and I do believe he would KO Mayweather in 5 rounds or less and it would be easy. It would just be a big chase but GGG is good at cutting off the ring. Maybe Canelo will KO Floyd and send him back to 147. Hey, Floyd could fight Ward at a catchweight of 152 of course.
No GGG is not good at cutting off the ring. What elite boxer has he cut off the ring on? Matthew Macklin? Proksa? GTFOH!
Like I said earlier, Mayweather knows how to tie up in a strategic fashion. He knows how to smother punches and use his elbow on the inside.
Why do you think Floyd has never truly been knocked down in a fight? He's a master boxer, offensively and defensively.
GGG would get ate up if he comes in at an equal weight (give or take two pounds) to Floyd.
You GGG nuttt lickers know this. Not in your wildest dream will a KOSTYA TSYZU stiff clone ever have what it takes to beat Floyd Mayweather.
GGG would get outboxed and clowned by prime WINKY.
Middleweight version of Bernard laughs at GGG.
You guys get impressed over any boxer with a big punch (especially when he's not of african descent). GGG is just another heavy handed guy waiting to get owned by a MASTER BOXER (floyd, nard, WARD, Winky).
LOL @ GG beating Floyd Mayweather.

What you fail to consider is there are many people who think those things, but they aren't all Mayweather fans. For example in my gym, most people don't like Floyd, but you would be hard pressed to fight a fighter or staff member, or even casual that goes there for the workout, to name a person they think could beat him.
I am willing to bet if you, if anyone gathered 10 knowledgable fight fans, by a criteria we could all agree on, 7/10 would say Floyd is the best in the sport right now and there is no real threat. I would bet real money on that. I'm that sure. Other than a few hardcore Manny fans who are really good friends of mine, I don't know many people who don't consider him the best in the sport now and for the last several years.

Funny how some of you people ignore the fact that as awesome as GGG is, he has many names to beat before earning that fight, and there is a good chance Floyd retires before he does.
