GGG vs Floyd at 154 or 155 who wins

[CatchAndShoot]

I'm a Floyd fan, but GGG beats Floyd at this point in their careers. Not because he's more skillful, but Floyd's age and he has slipped slightly in terms of athleticism. Had this been Floyd from, say, three years ago I'd give Floyd the edge because he'd still have the speed, timing, and stamina to deal with GGG for a full 12 rounds. Floyd's a little guy (height and size wise) and GGG is a beast. If he punishes those larger guys at Middleweight, he will wreck Floyd's tiny frame. At this point in his career, Floyd doesn't have the reflexes to avoid the sustained, intelligent onslaught Triple G will dish out. He can handle a fighter like Maidana but that comparison is really irrelavant. Maidana is certainly a big puncher he and Floyd are relatively the same size (a power that Floyd is used to dealing with, a la Shane Mosley) and I would't say he's a smarter fighter than GGG.

If GGG can make the weight COMFORTABLY, I say TKO in 6-8 rds with size, power, and effective pressure.

He's gotten MUCH physically stronger recently.

There's a stark contrast between the guy that fought Hatton, and the Floyd you see now. Floyd that fought Hatton and ODHLYA would get MAN HANDLED by GGG. The guy today could do a decent job of surviving for a bit longer.

golovkin has been a middleweight for a decade now.


why starve him down to 155 lbs?
you're really just asking if he can make the weight and be healthy.

if he's healthy, he's knocking floyd out. floyd mayweather in 2014 has old legs. he ends up on the ropes against lesser pressure fighters. golovkin would knock him into next week.

This is the fight i'd kill to see...floyd stepping up and taking a real challenge. I would love to see floyd take heavy hands all night.

I'm not talking about the Floyd that fought Hatton, way too small. I'm thinking the Floyd that fought Shane or even most recently Cotto/Canelo. I meant three years ago in terms of his reflexes. He was the same size as now, but his reflexes were still cat like. He's slipped a bit, but still great.

If GGG can make the weight without getting weight drained, I wouldn't object to the fight. Unfortunately there's no way to tell unless he tries it. I would recommend a catch weight of like 157-158 instead of 154-155.

You have to understand: Unlike Floyd-joys, my concern isn't Floyd's squeaky clean record. Its the fact that GGG could potentially ruin himself by dropping a weight class.

Nice to see you're still the exception!

Ah OK. Yeah, I like the Floyd that fought Shane the best. Physically strong enough to clinch up with GGG, and try and tire him out, while surviving a bit, and also still fresh.

Floyd is 38 - 39.

Plus he would be fighting a naturally bigger man, he would lose, and no shame in losing to a much bigger guy, afterall this is no longer prime Mayweather.

Floyd has the skills and experience too beat GGG, but I don't think Floyd can evade ggg power for 12 rounds. I would lean towards ggg in that fight. he would be the strongest and biggest guy Floyd has ever faced. maidana,cotto,canelo are all smaller than golovkin. golovkins size, jab and power should be too much for Floyd too handle.

I thought Pacroid was better then Floyd? (???????? If that's the case why aren't we talking about Pacroid fighting this guy???? Oh yeah Pacroid can't juice so he's only fighting against guys that don't require testing. ..
