I think this would be an interesting fight. GGG is a good fighter. Only flaw I see is sometimes when he jabs he leaves his head open for a counter. Mayweather also has slowed down which would be a plus for Triple G

Its funny how as soon as the thought of GGG moving down to jr middleweight comes up, lineal and 3x jr mw champion Floyd Mayweather becomes a tiny welterweight. Lol
Well Floyd is a small WW regardless of who's name comes up. We know he's 150 on fight night.
I think it's funny that people like yourself akways bring up that he's got the belts on paper like that means something. You adknowledge that they're paper titles that he shouldn't even hold but still list them anyway. Which one is it?
Great post- add to it that posters are so desperate to see Floyd lose.
Notice there is a group of posters who have been saying for 2-3 years Floyd sucks, hasn't beaten anyone, and that Ward is the real #1 p4p fighter. Now they argue GGG should fight Floyd instead of Ward.
Interesting.
This is the only time Floyd fans are willing to say that Floyd isn't worthy and shouldn't take on the challenge. Why? Too risky. Strange logic is used as well. .....but they said ....."Floyd hasn't beaten anyone", "Ward is the real #1 P4P fighter. :rofl:
If above is true, if Floyd took on the big challenges, the above would not be said no more. You know that but you also know that Floyd will not take on the challenge when it's just too risky!
GGG may be drained coming down to 154. I don't know but it never fails....... Floyd fans always demand NOT to see a fight.
Interesting.
.
I would be open to seeing this fight. It would finally be a challenge for Floyd. Floyd fought Marquez who went up 2 weight classes, why can't he do the same? Also Sugar Ray Leonard fought Duran who went up 2 weight classes, yet no one disparages him for it because it was still a challenge. I don't see why GGG should be criticized for doing it, and he's willing to go down a weight class to meet him half way there. ODL went all the up to Middleweight to fight Sturm AND Hopkins. Sugar Ray Robinson went all the way up to Light Heavyweight to try to reach for greatness, he lost, but he went for it though. Henry Armstrong went up to Middleweight, lost but he went for greatness.

. Mayweather wouldn't fight Pacquiao he isn't getting anywhere near GGG. For that to happen GGG would have to fight him at 146, with a hydration clause, heavyweight gloves, give a pint of blood, a semen sample and no body shots would be allowed.
This is dumb. He wouldn't even fight Canelo at 154 and he's going to fight Golovkin there?
Why even talk about it when everyone knows it has 0 chance of ever happening.
I don't need to see Floyd fight Golovkin, it's not a fair fight. Gennady is way too big even if he sweats off an extra 6lbs. I've never considered Floyd a legit JMW, he only stepped up to the division for three high profile fights, twice against guys who were looking pretty shop worn and past their prime and the other for a guy who was still green.
I'd consider him the top JMW if/when he went out and beat more than a couple fighters with different styles - Lara, Kirkland, or Andrade. But he's not a legit JMW so I don't really care if he does prove himself at JMW. Instead I'd like to see him start fighting top WW's like Brook, Bradley & Thurman and knock off this Amir Khan bs.
You've said GGG is better than Miguel plenty of times, why do you suddenly need to see GGG beat Floyd to have this opinion?
. You currently rank Lara ahead of Floyd at 154, but now the fight for GGG at 154 is Floyd. You don't watch Floyd and don't buy his ppv's, now you want to see him fight.
.
I don't know what you are waffling on about most of the time, so im assuming no one else does as well.
Yes I think GGG would beat Miguel, but why does that mean I shouldn't want Floyd to step up to the plate of fighting GGG? I know Miguel can beat Sergio, and I want to know if FLoyd can beat GGG? I wanted to know if Fury could beat haye and neither of them were the best so why cant I want to see Floyd step up to the plate in a fight many would like to see, when called out by GGG?
When did I say Lara is ahead of Floyd. Basically, many people in this world think FLoyd is the best boxer in the world, so I want him to justify it. Why does beating Maidana less impressively than Devon and khan did make him the best? I don't think Floyd is the best, so I want Floyd to make me a believer. I don't think Floyd is TBE, so I want Floyd to make me think that isn't absolutely laughable.
Ive seen BH step up to fight kovalev, so I want to see Floyd fight GGG. YOu think you can call me out, or catch me out on something? Am I missing something? You are not going to catch me out when theres nothing to catch me out on, so quit trying!
I don't have to give you an explanation why I want Floyd to fight GGG, no matter how bad I think Floyd is. Who are you?
You really afraid for Floyds zero aren't you. You want Miguel to fight GGG don't you, not lil Floyd. You wanted Miguel to fight Sergio so Floyd wouldn't have to as well.
I want Floyd to fight GGG as Floyd is supposed to be the best, (the fact I don't think he is, is irrelevant) and I want to see if Floyd will duck someone when called out again? Im just wondering how many people Floyd can duck before he retires. Im thinking BH dared faced Kovalev, a guy people said BH would be crazy to fight. I wanted to see if Floyd was at least as brave as BH.
And yes I want to see how good GGG is. If he beats Floyd at 154, I would say GGG is better than Miguel and GGG isn't hype. I want Floyd to step up to the plate, and fight GGG when all the top names don't want to. SHow us how its done Floyd, sign the contract when its created.
I am comparing your current opinions against everything you've ever said about Floyd. Had you not posted these opinions and switched up so drastically, I wouldn't have to ask you anything would I?
You've said GGG is better than Miguel plenty of times, why do you suddenly need to see GGG beat Floyd to have this opinion?
Look Hugh, you're a liar plain and simple. You've spent years disparaging Floyd saying beating him means nothing. Now, suddenly beating him means something. You spent years saying fighters far less than GGG could beat Floyd, now you need to see him beat Floyd to show he's better than guys. You currently rank Lara ahead of Floyd at 154, but now the fight for GGG at 154 is Floyd. You don't watch Floyd and don't buy his ppv's, now you want to see him fight.
Make up your mind and stop flip flopping.

OOh, that's it, you are desperate to see Floyd lose and think GGG beats him so that's why you want to see it. OK, that makes sense. All your other garbage you posted doesn't given everything you've said about Floyd.

For the love of God, GGG has called FLoyd out, so how does Pac come into the equation.? Just because Pac is better than Floyd doesn't mean to say Pac is more likely than Floyd to fight GGG.
Pac beats better fighters than Floyd does, Pac just beat Bradley. Floyd is retiring soon, so of course I want to see Floyd v GGG.
Yes, Ward is better than Floyd right now, when Ward next chooses to fight.
I want to see how good Floyd can be, and I also want to know how good GGG is. Once he beats Floyd, id like to know how hed do against Miguel and then Ward.
Don't make excuses again and get upset just because I want to see Floyd fight someone who can potentially take his zero. Ok, I want Khan v Floyd next then. Or how about Garcia a slow plodder whos smaller than Floyd.
you keep dancing around the questions asked. I wonder why?
How does Floyd show you how good GGG is given everything you've posted about Floyd on NSB? It is beyond believability you could think a fighter as low quality as you said Floyd is to test someone as good as you posted GGG is. Based on what you have posted- it would be Garcia v Salka-a fight you posted shouldn't be made. You must have been lying about how you really felt about Floyd.
OOh, that's it, you are desperate to see Floyd lose and think GGG beats him so that's why you want to see it. OK, that makes sense. All your other garbage you posted doesn't given everything you've said about Floyd.
I'm asking you about you-not about other posters. You can only speak for yourself. How can you call it a great fight given everything you've said about Floyd? that's the part that doesn't make sense.
You seem to be changing your view of Floyd solely for the purposes of this fight, which is hypocritical and kind of weird. You have always said Manny and Ward are better than Floyd-you have also said repeatedly that Manny is the bigger star.
Given your history, why don't you prefer one of them fighting GGG? besides, Floyd has already beaten several fighters ranked higher p4p than GGG, so he's already beaten someone very, very good.

Stop making excuses, just like Floyd does. Floyd and his fans are one of the same people.
GGG wants Floyd as he is the biggest name in boxing. People would love to see him and FLoyd fight. People say GGG hasn't fought anyone yet, and the big names in boxing try avoiding him at the same time, so its a catch 22 situation for GGG.
Floyd would be the biggest name GGG would have fought and the best at 154. ONe step at a time. ONce GGG beats Floyd he can then try beat the real big fish.
How simple can it get? Don't come up with another excuse to not see a great fight. Stop saying people want to see Floyd get beat, because that's obvious. But people want to see a great fight more, and Floyd being tested will be a great fight, to see someone bring the best out of Floyd.
I want FLoyd to beat someone really, really good as well as he keeps talking about TBE.

If Floyd is as low on the totem poll as you have claimed for the past few years-why is the thought of a GGG fight even appealing to you? Don't you want GGG to fight the best or dare to be great?

First things first. GGG will dispatach of Floyd first, the lesser challenge. And then fight Ward, that's the order you achieve things in boxing. One step at a time.
Once GGG dispatches of Ward, who knows.

This whole notion he is a small middleweight is bullsh1t, he weighed in at 173lbs!
People only want him to move down so he don't have to fight someone who is a threat. Hasn't he fought enough smaller opponents? How many career middleweights has he fought? 1?
Yh lets have him drop down to fight Floyd or Manny, two guys who barely even weigh in at the welterweight limit on fight night! Ridiculous.

Interesting.
Floyd could fight GGG, but Floyd always ducks a challenge. Floyd fans say you cant duck someone who is 2 divisions above you? Well you can challenge people 2divisions above you. JMM challenged Floyd didn't he? RJJ fought Ruiz didn't he? Because they like a challenge and don't duck it.
Floyd does. Under normal circumstances GGG wouldn't want to move down in weight, but the name FLoyd just so happens to be one division lower, and it if takes moving down one weight to get the fight GGG is willing to do that.
