    Favorite against Floyd at 154?

    Is there any fighter who can realistically make 154lbs and be favorite against Floyd?

    I can think of just one and that's Golovkin. I am not sure that Martinez would be a favorite.

    What's your opinion?

      Why would Golovkin be the favourite?

        I don't think mayweather is a fighter who would run for all 12 rounds. Also I don't think he would be able to keep gennady from him for the whole fight.

        The question is how well Floyd can take GGG's body punch.

        If there is anyone who can fight at that weight and hurt Floyd, that's Gennady.

          Golovkin hasn't beaten anybody and he'd be coming down in weight. I don't see why he'd be the favourite.

            That's just my opinion. I don't go by resume but what I see in the fight(s). Is there something you can add other than Floyd has much superior resume?

                  100% agree. A true 154 pounder and the most dangerous fighter in the division when he's smart and boxes. He's got the speed and ability to really trouble Floyd.

                    He's the more skilled fighter.

                    So are you asking for people to give their personal opinions on who they'd favour over Floyd or who'd actually be the betting or general consensus favourite?
