    How would Floyd deal with GGG in the ring?

    In my thread I created for ranking credible threats people would like to see Floyd face GGG keeps coming up as a choice but people immediately dismiss it as a fight Floyd would never take due to the legitimate risk involved.

    How would Floyd deal with a GGG attempting to walk him down all night? Cotto as able to get to Floyd with some level of success. Would GGG be able to do the same amount and potentially worse damage than Cotto did?

    Floyd deals with GGG by not taking the fight under any circumstance whatsoever. In the ring though,LOL. Bringing a pillow and blanket.

          At 154 vs a likely dead Golovkin he'd win a decision.

          At MW he'd probably outbox him for a while until Golovkin's power catches up. Only so many times you can shoulder roll a solid MW's shots who's probably the hardest punching MW on the planet and he'd likely take him out late.

          They would be my predictions.

            Definitely he has the power to do some serious damage, the problem is will he be able to pin Floyd to the ropes long enough to cause it.

            I think Floyd will be on his toes and be slippery as hell like he was in the Guerrero fight. The only success Cotto really had was his jab and that's because he has that lunging leaping type jab and it has speed to it too. GGG doesn't have a lot of speed in his punches so Floyd should be able to avoid his punches and box him to a decision.

              No. The Ghost and GGG are not compatible.

                Of course not but what evidence is there to say Floyd can't slip away from GGG's pressure? What we do know is that Floyd has the faster feet, elusive defense, and the ability to counter punch off the ropes effectively. I see Floyd having answers to everything.

                  And does this answer to everything include maybe the hardest power at middleweight currently??
