Let's be real. GGG is not too big for Floyd.

    Good job cutting off the ring.....against guys that can't move like Mayweather.

    I'm just not sure how you can ONLY look at what GGG does against the guys he's fought, and assume that it would look the same against Mayweather. Completely ignoring the things that Mayweather is good at (and much better at, than ANYONE GGG has been in with).

    This always happens. X fighter looks good in a few fights. Fans hype up X fighter to be the one. X fighter gets exposed as not the one. Fans find new fighter to hype.
    So you're onboard then?

      Andre Dirrell? Anyhow, Mayweather's movement isn't what it was, don't let Guerrero's plodding fool you.

      I know what Mayweather is good at, and I don't think it's anywhere near enough to deal with what Golovkin brings to the table. Same goes for Martinez who imo also beats Floyd but loses to Golovkin.

      You clearly believe Golovkin is hype, well I'm of the opinion the hype is real and I think he brutalises the guy.

      With every other fighter we mostly discuss matchups in their weight class.
      Talk about lining up your excuses...

      We talk about Golovkin-Mayweather because the former just called him out and is willing to meet him halfway.

        Why halfway? He said he'd drop down to challenge for Floyd's SWW belts.

          The truth is now called lining up excuses by a poster that blames hatton getting KTFO by floyd on the ref. Thats rich!!

          A lot of guys call floyd out. Its just interesting how posters gravitate toward certain fights while completely dismissing others.

          We know you are a sucker for hype about european power punchers and their ability to beat floyd.

            I take your point, but Floyd's fans like to maintain he is a WW and Golovkin is definitely a MW. So 154 would be halfway in that respect, even if he does hold titles there.

            An equivalent would have been Mayweather fighting Marquez at 140 but of course, that didn't happen (nor did the agreed catchweight).

              Who looks more promising right now than Golovkin in general ability?

              Lucas - No
              Garcia - lol
              Devon Alexander - wat
              Amir Khan - glass chin
              Canelo - barley beat Trout, gasses fast, power overrated
              Martinez - chinny, old as hell and clearly over the hill
              Bradley - jack of all trades master of none, especially not power or ring IQ

              The list goes on and on, it's pretty easy to see Golovkin is a far better overall fighter than all of those listed. People gravitated towards Golovkin because he looks to be the biggest threat and he possesses skills none of those above have, or will probably ever have.

                Ha...well to that I would say it's as much about footwork as it is power. Running doesn't work against Golovkin, ask Andre Dirrell.

                  It would, if Marquez was a current and 2x champ at 140.

                  I mean, Floyd's next fight is for all the marbles at SWW, including the "lineal" belt. How can you be The Man at SWW and be too small for certain guys that can make the weight? It's not special olympics

                    Not sure he looks more promising than Matthysse. At least to my eyes.

                      You've convinced me. I have clearly been brainwashed by the Floyd fans size arguments.
