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

[IronDanHamza]

Did you feel about the same way about Sergio challenging Floyd at 154?

At first, not as much because it hadn't been too long since he'd been at 154.

But, the longer time goes on and coming to the ring at 170 lbs now, the more I think I'd rather see him move down to 154 and re-test the water to see if he can make it healthily.

He's more of an established solid MW now as opposed to a Jr MW having recently moved up.

So to answer your question, at this point in time, yes I feel the same way.

Let me make sure I'm correct Canelo dropping 2 lbs is him being weight drained but GGG dropping 6 lbs is no problem hey if that logic works for most people than I guess it's cool with me. On the Marquez front why do people act like Marquez wasn't planning to move up to chase Manny since he couldn't a get 3rd rematch. By beating Floyd it would be a guranteed rematch and I'm sure he figured Floyd being off 2 years it would be alot of rust.

Do you see how damn thick and wide Canelo is compared to GGG?

Good God, you're a moron.

Look at the size of Canelo's neck and head.

damn ggg still using those ****** wraps someone should wrap his hands to prevent him getting weak hands in future

How butthurt are you that you have to reply to an old thread?

Think it's best you just admit you're wrong, and move along bro.

YOU just replied to an old thread! I forgot it quite frankly. Im not wrong. Everyone here is trolling about the possibility of Floyd fighting GGG. No one ACTUALLY thinks its feasible. Just accept the fact that you was wrong, and move along. No beef. Nce tlk, Tnx!

But how come Marquez was considered an opponent for Mayweather? Seems like selective choice to me.

It is selective choice. Floyd fans would prefer Golovkin's name isn't mentioned with Mayweather because they know Mayweather would not take the fight and that if he did he would more than likely be brutalised. It is a lose-lose for them so best just not mention it as far as they're concerned.

I understand that, but Canelo is just too big. GGG is too big and too skilled for Floyd. Not saying on a p4p basis, GGG is better than Floyd, but he brings much more than a Cotto or a Canelo.

Let's put it this way. Floyd is favored against Canelo or Cotto. He's not favored against GGG.

Agree?

Not only would he be favored over GGG, he would likely be 3/1 or better.

And if Floyd beats Canelo convincingly, it might even be a bigger margin.

GGG appears to be a monster....against guys that aren't anywhere near Mayweather's league. Let's not crown him the man to "brutalize" Mayweather. That's just God damn ******.

I'm not crowning him anything, it is simply my opinion on the fight.

As to quality of opponents Golovkin is stopping top 10 MWs in 3-4 rounds, has an exceptionally strong pedigree in the amateurs and by all accounts has dominated top fighters in sparring. A lot of top names are included there.

There's also a style aspect to consider, Golovkin is possibly the best at cutting off the ring I have seen, footwork is exceptional so getting to his opponent would not be a problem.

I'm sure you have your own opinion, but that is mine.

He beat Macklin down. Props for that. Sparring and AM's? Come on, man.

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.

floyd fans are wondering Has there ever been a time when NSB pondered this much about a fight between guys seperated by 2 weight classes, who fight on different networks, where one guy isn't even the best in the other weight class?

With every other fighter we mostly discuss matchups in their weight class.
