why do you need GGG to campaign there ? MW already the champ there , and if GGG makes weight he could fight there no ?
if GGG goes 154 and doesnt get MW right away he shouldnt do it , because Floyd will retire until you guys feel GGG proved a worthy 154 .... (takes few years you know...).
also look at Bhop taking INSANE challange vs Kovalev , things like that do happen , but not in MW land.... the 0 is the most important thing....
he couldve fought Manny 2 times already (and he had good chances to win those fights...) but he wont risk the 0 .
Ali is the greatest ever , and he has loses.
Flyod should man up and take a mega fight.... its been sooooo long since we had a MEGA fight , i miss those days , for a MEGA fight we need the #1 fighter taking a big challange (or just pac will do as well).
As I said though its a ****** fight.
It would be no different than Prince Nazeem or Pernell Whitaker coming up to 160 to fight the prime Roy Jones jr in 1993.
Just a crazy move either way you slice it.
If he did it, well sure it would be good for the sport, if not you can't blame him or call him a duck for it.
GGG is too large for Floyd and will be avoided. GGG needs to beat on Cotto first Canelo, then Ward. Collecting belts from 154, 160 and 168lbs. If Canelo has a 154lb belt by then. Floyd too smart to risk a loss to GGG.
GGG actually fighting a great fighter-we know that will not happen for a while.
Mang ! LMAO !!!!!!
Jr needs at least one great fighter under his belt in the past 12 years. HE has either fought OLD champs that can't hurt nobody, or Little Champs , or one wee little champ then cheated the weight on him, or weight drained a bigger younger champ that didn't have the right game plan.
What JR needs is to grow some ##### and Face GGG at 160. HE can come in at any weight he wants, do this for legacy and show the public he ain't a sissy hiding behind leftovers and cherry picks. He needs to prove he ain't the main fraud in boxing. It will be his move for May to counter Cotto Canelo. Jr can gain the MW title ! JR the great will go down in boxing HISTORY !!!!!!!!
as the one who was carried out on the stretcher sucking his thumb !!
HUGE GGG fan, and not really a Floyd fan (although I appreciate his unique skill set), but Floyd shouldn't have to fight GGG.
I mean, it'd be great if he did...
Maybe if GGG has been campaigning at 154, where Floyd holds a belt; to my knowledge, GGG has fought at 160 his entire professional career.
I think if GGG could comfortably make 154, he would be campaigning there.
I do think GGG could make 154, but not very comfortably. He's probably about the same size as Canelo naturally - and Canelo struggles to make 154.
I also don't think GGG should have to go to 168 and fight Ward in his first fight at that weight. So GGG isn't ducking Ward, and Floyd's not ducking GGG.
its ducking when YOU lay down the challenge that you'll fight ANYONE 154-168. The chavez jr fight fell through cuz arum was trying to be slick and sign chavez jr to an extension he didn't want, or get paid pennies in comparison. Ward stated that he'll fight GGG at 168, GGG's team's response was that the fight wont make financial sense.
LOL Floyd is 12 on the list...that's a far cry from being TBE... Floyd should not be ahead of Pacquiao... that's just blasphemy... Ring Magazine..way to go for rewarding a ducker...
So a guy who openly admits he ducks fights (see my sig), is the 12th greatest boxer of all time since WWII? LOL... way to go Ring Magazine... Ring Magazine is obsessed with not losing fights... if you see the rankings always inflate undefeated guys even if they fight nobodies...
Floyd isn't undefeated... he lost to Castillo the first fight clearly.. Ring Magazine should have did what it did with Pac-Bradley with Floyd-Castillo js...
Look dude, I get it, you hate Floyd. that's fine. everyone doesn't agree. the voters, as do you, know the real reason why fights didn't happen. if you choose to call it this way that is your choice. but to expect sane people with integrity to jump off the bridge with you, makes no sense.
Its not that Ring inflates undefeated records, its that you downgrade every fighter Floyd defeated while never doing the same for others. again, that is your choice but not everyone is going to do that.
as for this thread-Floyd will likely not fight GGG, just not for the reasons you listed.
