    Floyd too scared of GGG. Only 2 inches taller and no special effects. Low risk, low reward, Floyd would have you believe.
    But reality was high risk, high reward. GGG was ducked so not worth discussing Ggg and risks.

      He was willing to risk coming in drained for your boy:

      "Floyd (Mayweather) is great champion and biggest challenge," stated GGG to ESNews. "I understand he's smart guy and good fighter. I respect his boxing style and his business. He's a very good fighter. I go to 154 just for Floyd."

      But I don't know your boy talked a good game:

      "He's straight up and down with no special effects."

      ....but when it was put up or shut up time somebody didn't eat their wheaties:


      "I can't make 160 pounds...I can barely make 147. If I could go up to 155 pounds, I would beat him (GGG)...that's easy work,"

        Floyd GGG would have been an ATG defining fight, not Guerrero/Ortiz/135lbs Marquez etc etc the bunch.

        That would be like a Duran - Barkley kind of fight.

          W would have been real good to see how good floyd historically really was. But fight wasn't even close to be made though ever. As to suggest it, you'd be abused and call a hater only wanting floyd to lose.
          Funny how you can ask Nelo to fight beterbiev but you won't be called a Nell hater wanting Nell to lose

            If 154 was Nelo's ''worst'' weight, the Shot Marg* that Pac fought was even worser

            Let's look at life for Marg above WW, shall we

            Daniel Santos
            Roberto Garcia
            Pac
            Cotto 2
            Paez
            R Alvarez
            Jones

            Not 1 WKO
            Not 1 credible W

            Pac is a compiler of fighters at their worse.
            He would force 17 *'s on Young Nelo
            Ring weight would have to be 144 lbs. and not an ounce over.

              Pac embraced his CW King status.

                No one cared about Pac.
                The level of greatness began and ended with May.

                Pac couldn't put a dent in Baby Margarito
                Ishida would kill Pac
                Pac would force 12 *'s on Ishida

                  Mayweather fought dozens of guys who weighed 10 or more pounds than him. So did Pac. Has Canelo even fought 1?

                      Pac wouldn't allow Biv's name to enter his mind and come out of his mouth.

                      Let's look at all of the risks he took -

                      Shot Margarito*
