How would Floyd deal with GGG in the ring?

I am a big Canelo fan even after his lost to Floyd. He is only 23 and will continue to improve. I would bet on him to beat any Jr. middleweight including Lara. The one guy I give him no chance to beat even at 154 is GGG. Everything Canelo does so well GGG does better.Comment

Errrrrr I like Canelo but I think Lara will beat himComment

Floyds not a freak of nature. Anyone who moves up weight sacrifices something, whether its speed or power, and its unrealistic for anyone to think Floyd should move up being as fast or powerful he is in the lower weights.Not all fighters are the same.
Floyd's absolutely maxed out at Jr MW where the highest he's weighed in is 151 and he comes to the ring at 150 lbs.
If he were to add more weight he'd be bulkier and slower than he already is above 147.
Someone who comes to the ring at 150 lbs vs a career MW and one of the worlds best MW's isn't a realistic fight this day and age.
Kind of a testament really that there are people picking Mayweather to beat him despite this.
Floyd hasn't maxed out, he is just a health freak who trains hard and easts healthy.
If Floyd can beat GGG, he should try it. You have to fulfil your potential otherwise its a wasted opportunity. Similar to some think Floyd can beat Pac. Why not then?
Of course its a challenge, and Floyd has been accused of not wanting challenges. There would be no mistake he was willing to challenge himself then.Last edited by hugh grant; 01-17-2014, 08:52 PM.Comment

The fact that someone's picking Mayweather to beat Golovkin at 160 tells you how good he is because really that's not realistic.
Most think Floyd can beat Pacquaio because they're similar in size so it's a realistic fight.Comment

Floyd would be shouting from the front row while dude is in the ring fighting someone else, lolComment

Well Floyd usually fairs well in fantasy fights, but I think most people would bet on GGG to beat Floyd at 160 even if the UK boxing mag doesn't.He has maxed out. He comes to the ring at 150 lbs and has never weighed in more than 151 that's all that needs to be said. He's a small guy.

I want to see how good Floyd is that's why I want to see him vs GGG or Sergio. IMO it would be sad to see Floyd retire without seeing actually how good he was.
Its unrealistic because Floyd cant make 160, but can still beat GGG? Well go in the ring at 155 and try, with GGG at a CW of 157Comment

You're talking about a guy who would have to bulk up to 155 against a career MW.
Again, not realistic.Comment
