Gatti, Baldomir and Golovkin. Fightnight weights

[Derranged]

They were both 200 lbs of muscle.

Floyd shrunk down to 130.

[BattlingNelson]

Another "great hope" being touted as someone Floyd will duck. I knew this was coming the second GGG landed the bodyshot on Macklin.

"Floyd is duckin GG"

You haters are predictable and past your prime.

Why doesn't GGG go up to 168 and challenge himself against ANDRE "SOG" WARD?

Why cut down just to have a natural welterweight come up?

Ward is waiting.... LMAO! You "hopers" don't want that for GGG now do u?? But its okay for aA smallish Welter like Floyd to take all the risks. Sorry but even DJANGO has limitations.

I never said Floyd was ducking. All I am saying is that weight cannot be used as an excuse for not fighting GGG.

[BattlingNelson]

The bottom line is this. Floyd has belts in both weight classes. It's obvious to anyone with eyes that he's undersized at Jr. Middleweight.

Canelo is a huge Jr. Middleweight. Why wouldn't Floyd try and balance the size difference out some to make it a FAIR FIGHT?

Why is Floyd getting criticized for simply wanting an even playing field?

Fair fight?

Like when Floyd came in overweight when fighting featherweight Marquez?

@ the double standards of the floydstans.

Is Golovkin going to weigh 147 for the official weigh in, BattlingNelson? Just like Baldomir did?

If so then Floyd won't care what his fight night weight ends up at.

What are you talking about?

If Golovkin wants to fight Mayweather he should move down to 154.

When's the last time he weighed under 160 lbs?

A long time. And there is a reason for that.

He has of course made it clear he would fight him or anyone worthy at 154.

[Hallaqsillaq]

That is not good enough dude. Weight made no difference in the Gatti and Baldomir fights. Why is it suddenly Paramount for GGG?.

Let's be honest here. Golovkin is infinitely more skilled and talented than those two face first brawlers right?

I'd be worried for Floyd's health in there. Let's be real now, if an aging, diminished Cotto laid "some" leather on Mayweather, what would a monster like GGG do?

I don't think it's a fair fight, honestly.

Muscle will adapt to the environmental stress it is put under. GGG muscle mass would obviously decrease if he were to fight at a lower weight, just as Mayweathers would increase if he fought at a higher weight. It is not a valid way of accessing whom should fight who, because if we go by your theory Pacquaio should never fight Mayweather because Pacquaio has fought at much lower weight classes for a longer amount of time, which apparently puts him at a disadvantage... but we know that isn't the case, and it's the same with Mayweather vs Golovkin.

Lets also not forget the Mayweather motto that is 'size don't win fights, skills win fights'.

Cool. So GGG should have no problem meeting Floyd at 150.

It happens. I believe JMM got paid handsomely for Floyd being over.
