Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Mayweather is My Dream, I Want That Fight

[HeroBando]

Regardles if they beat Floyd, they still won't be considered pound for pound no1. Becuase Floyd proved himself In multiple weight classes. Hense Pound 4 Pound. Floyd had the guts to get in the ring and loose at his max division to sum1 over 20pounds bigger than him. Those guys won't be considered Pound 4 Pound for me becuase they won't fight anyone in a bigger weightclass to them. That's why Floyd and Andre are Pound 4 Pound Best!

You're not making sense. Ward has never moved a division. I think people would have given him credit if he'd dropped down to 160 for Martinez, like GGG is offering.

Now we're talking son

When Mayweather beats Alvarez (which he will) and GGG beats kid chocolate or Chavez or whoever (which he would) then make it happen-Floyd is the best fighter in the world everybody knows that,but he says hes the greatest-this is perfect for him



Waiting for a deluded ***** to say why he shouldn't..........

Mayweather wins If he runs runs runs

Golovkin one body punch goodbye floyd

But that ain't gonna happen

It seems that's the trend these days in boxing. Look like a beast in one weight division and start looking for smaller opponents. How different the likes Leonard's, Duran's and Hearns' careers would've been if they did the same.

It's obvious that Mayweather is Golovkin's dream fight. It pays the most and carries far less risk than moving up to fight Ward. And those that say, "if Mayweather is fighting at 154lbs and Golovkin can make the weight, what's the problem?". I think you're all being disingenuous. You know what the problem is and wouldn't ask the same of another welterweight (because that's what Mayweather is). You wouldn't have asked Roy Jones Jr to fight Lennox Lewis after winning a heavyweight title. Did fighting at heavyweight make him one? You know it didn't.

You want people to just say the words? Fine. It's very likely that GGG sparks Mayweather out because not only it Golovkin a very, very good fighter, but he is a much bigger man. So would Ward, so would Wlad. Now you should be prepared to say the words too. The reason why rabid "fans" are licking their lips at such a prospect is because it's true that NO ONE from 140 to 147lbs is likely to beat Mayweather.

The fact that this is even being entertained is inadvertantly a compliment to Mayweather.

It's a deep red on those nuts isn't it?

[Szef]

Yeah like Floyd would fight GGG

Apologies. UK Limey here. Please elaborate.

While you're at it, point what I said that isn't true.

Bad comparison. Nobody disputes RJJ was a paper champ at HW, but that's a tremendous accomplishment for a guy that started at 154. Floyd is a 2x SWW champ, about to contest for the Lineal title, albeit at a CW. What's the point of being The Man at the weight if it's unfair to expect you to take on the best comp at the weight?

[Curtiz]

How can people sit there with a straight facr and justify mayweather fighting this beast.

Hes not only 2 weight divisions bigger than Floyd (147 lets be realistic) hes also arguably the biggest puncher in the division.

GTFOOH

Is that all people can say? He's bigger? Alvarez weighed more than GGG in his last fight, yet Mayweather is fine with facing him? What would be the problem with facing Golovkin? It's obvious, Floyd wouldn't win, and it's not because of his size. How can people be so dumb as to shout 'HES TOO BIG!', yet allow Mayweather to face Oscar, Cotto and Canelo at JMW? If Golovkin could make the weight, he is in exactly the same position as Cotto or Canelo or any other 154 fighter, he's just much better than all of them.

If a fighter wants to fight in a different weight class he can, you don't go calling Pacquaio a featherweight do you? Why? Because he fights at welterweight. If GGG wants to go down to 154 to fight Mayweather, he will be a JMW, END OFF. If a heavyweight wants to lose 40+ pounds and fight at welterweight what is the problem with that? Do you think he will have any advantage in muscle? Do you think a fighter will be able to hydrate 40+ pounds overnight and somehow become a heavyweight overnight again? If a welterweight wants to move up and face a super middleweight what's the problem? There is none whatsoever, if you can make the weight you are game and part of that division.

Floyd should NOT be fighting in the JMW division if he can't make the weight effectively, and if he does that's his own problem and risk, nobody elses. He always likes to claim he fights the best, I'd love to see him say that to Golovkin at 154, he would get wrecked.
