As Big Dunn pointed out this fight is next to impossible to make. This is about Floyds skin tone and the country he resides in.
    I'm a Floyd hater, but you don't have to be one to partake in this thread on "that side". If he's a legit SWW champ, much less 2x, soon unified, lineal, it's totally fair game for anyone that can make the weight.

    Pretty sure Floyd parks in disabled spots, but he can't expect that treatment from the fans without some proof of disability.

      As long as Floyd refuses same day weighin, he even gets outweighed by JMM.

      But dude, it's 2013, we've had the SWW division since before you were born. That's the one where Floyd is a 2x and current champ (still holding that belt!), unifying a whole bunch of belts, including the Lineal (* CW). And that's where GGG would like to meet him, no moving up required

        Well there were talks of him facing Martinez. Plus the Golovkin fight could easily be made at a catch weight.

        Why did Mayweather never fight Margarito? Pacquiao? Why doesn't he move up and cement his legacy at this late stage in his career, instead of just cherry picking and nursing his 0? A true champ would make the biggest fights, instead of running scared and fighting has-beens.

          Also, the suggestion that this thread is about skin tone and nationality is beyond ridiculous. It's about Floyd not being a true champion.

            Lol.

            Are you thinking Floyd would fight GGG at a catchweight between 154-160? You've got to be joking. Floyd hardly makes 150 anyway.

            Also, the only times Floyd has stepped up to 154, it's because there's been a massive fight. ODLH, Cotto, Canelo. Whether you like it or not, neither Martinez nor GGG is even remotely close to drawing the same audiences.

                Really? IMO those would draw huge crowds and sell massively ppv. Golovkin would draw the interest of all eastern Europe and Russia. Martinez all of South America.

                  Yeah but the thing is Floyd's fights are usualy around 4 -5 AM in here so I doubt anybody would buy PPV. Hell, even I, a boxing fan, didn't watch his last fight live. I will stay up all night on September 14 though...

                  Sergio is known in Argentina, that's it. And he's become a huge star in his own country just recently after Chavez Jr fight.

                  I would love to see Floyd fighting either of those guys but it's not gonna happen.

                    you didn't miss anything. everyone knowledgeable knew it was a joke fight. staying up on sep 14th is a must. not for floyd's farce against drained canelo but for matthysse-garcia! you can go to sleep after that fight is over. if you stay up for floyd-zombie you will just go to sleep angry.
