Will Mayweather fight Golovkin?

[Windmills]

Exactly, good post. GGG vs Floyd at 154 makes perfect sense.

You must not pay attention to boxing. They fight on different networks. It's basically impossible to make.

[Weltschmerz]

i don't think he avoided pacquaio because he was "scared."

those two made more money fighting other people. the prospect of them fighting is what made their fights so big in the last few years. that's what the casual fans cared about, and casuals drive ppv sales.


margarito is a bit different. that was straight up risk / reward. that was closer to a duck, but i still think mayweather would outpoint him easily.


golovkin is too big for floyd mayweather. they aren't even comparable in size. golovkin is a MW with punching power who spars with CW and LHW. floyd started his champoinship run at 130 lbs. golovkin was a MW in the amateurs 10 years ago.

Mayweather fought Cotto at 154 and now Canelo at 152. No reason why he couldn't fight Golovkin at 154. Pacquiao started out as a flyweight and fought Margarito who's a much bigger guy.

No, it's just a question of money. Of course the fight could be made. Klitschko-Povetkin got made, they fight on different networks.

if you remember, pacquiao avoided mosley and margarito during their peaks because they were "too big." he [roach] waited for them to slow down.

cotto is a natural WW. he's at 154 because he's not dedicated enough to make 147. he's literally chubby in there.

you just want golovkin to beat floyd. i get it, man. he'd lose to andre ward, too, but that doesn't make it a reasonable fight. wlad klitschko would whip all of their asses, but that doesn't mean they need to fight him.

it's not a reasonable fight. they are not the same size. alvarez and mayweather aren't teh same size either, but they're fighting to make a f#cking pissload of money, and alvarez is a much lesser fighter than golovkin.

But those networks don't war like Showtime vs HBO. Even the Povetkin bout has taken almost a decade to work out

Name me all of the times HBO and Showtime had their network-contracted fighters fight against each other

Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson was aired as a joint collaboration between HBO and Showtime.

So 1 time. Point proven

that was for like more than 100 million dollars being made. golovkin is nowhere near a tyson or lennox level

[ShoulderRoll]

Golovkin isn't even the real middleweight champ.
