It would be an amazing win for Floyd and add a lot to his legacy if at 40+ he moved up to 160 and beat the most feared guy in the division who is on the verge of breaking Hopkins defence record.
It would probably be the greatest win of his career and silence a lot of the critics who believe Floyd doesn't take risks and has always avoided the toughest challenges such as a prime Pacquiao/Cotto etc.
Moving up at 40+ to take on and defeat the undefeated Kin of Golov...cmon, that would be massive.
Floyd would be the underdog going into that fight and I for one would support him.
Typical fanboy response. GGG doesn't go around calling himself the best ever. Mr. 50-0 overrates himself by insisting he is TBE.
He has more claim to TBE than most, to deny that means you ignore facts
No Floyd clearly landed the cleaner shots in both Castillo fights..Canelo clearly landed the cleaner shots in the GGG fight...no need to call names just because a person disagrees with you.. We can debate without the name calling
I love you larry you seem like a stand up dude but sometimes man.
True retard ^^^^^^
Keep it up larry
If canelo boxed ggg ears off then what Castillo did to Floyd in the first fight was murder! Lol

Why would beating GGG make him the greatest ever?? He already EASILY beat the guy who boxed GGG's ears off

GGG looked like ass in that fight man, sorry
Agreed, but he still probably did enough to win...which doesn't really equate to getting his ears boxes off, does it?
In comparison to Floyd....YES, Golovkin is overrated!!! It clearly depends on who you are comparing him to!!
Typical fanboy response. GGG doesn't go around calling himself the best ever. Mr. 50-0 overrates himself by insisting he is TBE.
no, because ggg is a limited bum that got exposed by canelo already or so the floyd fans says.
If he was signed to fight Floyd, he'd suddenly become the #1 pfp who beat Canelo wide and is at his absolute peak.
Floyd fans are a comical bunch. They simultaneously trash a fighter while at the same time claiming that fighter was a great win for Floyd. Floyd fans have said GGG is overrated...so how would beating him make that a great win and make Floyd the GOAT?
Floyd does this himself and I don't think he realizes he is trashing his own legacy by trashing his opponents. Called Gatti C-rate...ok so if he's C-rate, how does that count as a great win? Called Mosley a desperate and washed up steroid user...if he's washed up how is that a great win?
In comparison to Floyd....YES, Golovkin is overrated!!! It clearly depends on who you are comparing him to!!
It would make him rate higher no doubt especially considering age, layoff, weight jump. But ever??? Nah
Its funny the TMT guys already consider him the best ever....so I guess it would make him the best everer
Neither guy would get the proper credit for beating the other, unfortunately. If Floyd won, people would say Golovkin was overrated and was an aging hype job with limited skills just waiting to be exposed.
And if Golovkin won, people will diminish the accomplishment of beating Floyd by saying he was old and the much smaller man.
While the prospect of Mayweather getting knocked out does excite me (and even then not much, because I'd favor him to beat Golovkin if they fought), the match just isn't that intriguing of one overall. I still figure it'll happen though if GGG beats Canelo, probably in September. Floyd's love of money and the spotlight is too great to ever turn down a big name opponent and big name fight if it's one he's confident he can win.
if ggg is an overrated bum with a weak resume beating him shouldn't mean a damn thing. not only for floyd but canelo too. .
floyd says ggg is basic with no "special effects" but maidana whos as slow as a turtle arguably beat him.
call ggg a bum all u want but he had mofos scared for a good five years. froch, cotto, martinez, chavez, sturm all said "hell no" to facing him. now if ducking was illegal ggg would have a great resume right now.
floyd picked canelo to beat ggg by easy KO. and he did that so that way his win over canelo looks better. but we already know how reliable triangle theories are...
That fact that a 40yrs old former SFW is moving up to 160 for a killer. That’s Armstrong alley
But everyone including you know that May isn't that type of Armstrong fighter.Not even close if you were honest.
