Why Floyd could Beat Golovkin

[HeroBando]

Aw man, you just reminded me of the Floyd vs. Dirrell thread where people said Floyd would be the favorite at 168 if those 2 fought.

I'm sure it was an alt ridden thread. These guys have no conviction or shame. Worst fan base in boxing, or beyond

That's easy to say, when Floyd's not actually fighting MWs, and MWs that have the exact style necessary to beat Floyd.

I've debated this topic to death in the other thread, that's my $0.02.

I'm not gonna call posters that think Floyd wins, delusional, but I seriously think they have a superman complex with Floyd.

This!

Floyd has a great defence but the guy is barely 5'8'' and needs to weight drain legitimate light middleweights. How would he stand up to the pressure, intelligent pressure at that, by a guy who is 5'11' and much bigger in terms of weight. GGG, for all his hype is knocking out guys much bigger than Floyd, how is a man who is a small welterweight even going to take those punches? and do so for 12 rounds?

The only way Floyd would outpoint GGG is if there were a lot of Floyd fans doing the judging. If Floyd could just last 12 rounds without being stretched unconscious his loyal fans would claim he dominated the fight. Floyd could land nothing to trouble GGG. But he is evasive enough to possibly not get knocked out, which is enough for Floyd devotees.

Truth, Canelo landed harder and cleaner punches in his fight with Floyd, and his fans believe their hero beat him up and was just on the verge of KOing him.

Yeah, the biggest problem for Floyd would be his inability to land anything that would get Golovkin's respect. He would score quite easily but even with his quality of movement, he's eventually going to get backed up in pretty much every round. I think being cornered by GGG would be a whole different experience to being cornered by Cotto.
