Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Trainer on Mayweather: Forget Pac, Face GGG

[bojangles1987]

I've always hated when people say stuff like this, but I can't help but think the only reason NSB wants Mayweather/Golovkin is because they either believe the Pac fight will happen and they need a boogeyman for Mayweather to duck, they don't believe Pac will win and are looking for the fighter closest in weight they believe would knock Mayweather out, or both.

It's kind of ridiculous. If Mayweather ends up fighting for a middleweight title for some reason, call him out then.

24lbs > 15lbs. Kovalev had a 6lb advantage only. Add 9 to 175 putting Hopkins at cruiserweight fighting guys with a 15+lb weight advantage... thats what Floyd has done and never lost.

Hopkins has fought at cruiserweight, I believe.

Floyd fighting GGG is not like hopkins fighting Kolev at all....

Floyd weighs 150 on fight night and you want him to fight a KO artist at 160.

It would be like hopkins fighting kolev if hopkins was 165 on fight night.

it be like kovalav fighting tyson

Hopkins has fought at cruiserweight, I believe.

ya but against the hardest puncher of his generation?

Not quite considering GGG fought at 154 3 times and GGG would come down.

That said may is scared of pac still even with all this slippage; u think he's fighting GGG. lmfao

Can we also acknowledge that bhop is 12 yrs older tHan may. It's not just the weight. Its the d2bg challenge

This trips me out. Floyd had to eat a meal full of carbs prior to the canelo weight-in because he dropped down below 150, but this dude wants him face the middleweight king. After roy jones won the heavyweight championship, no one asked that he keeps fighting heavyweights. Same for Pacquiao, after winning the jr middleweight championship, no one asked that he keeps fighting jr middleweights. These unrealistic demands are only for Floyd.

Well when you claim to be TBE, people are gonna hold you to a higher standard and expect a lot from you.

GGG is the 800-pound gorilla of the middleweight division. I don't blame Floyd for being scared of that one. To me it's a guaranteed KO stoppage and trip to the hospital for him. The fight with PAC however, still needs to happen (Floyd probably loses that too)

[MisanthropicNY]

I would rather see the Triple G fight than the Pacquiao fight at this point... Pac is older now and his fighting style is mainly about his speed and ability to take a punch and those things fade as a fighter gets older...

But we all know that Mayweather doesn't take challenges... he would rather fight Ortiz, Guerrero, and Canelo after he looked bad against Trout...

Whenever fighters look unstoppable like Winky at one point, Margarito, Pacquiao, and now Triple G... these are the guys that Mayweather avoids...

Mayweater will pay in legacy rankings in the end...

size matters that fight doesnt make sense the guy would be giving up enormous size differential...Maidana was like godzilla ...in the first fight GGG would be tyranosaurus rex how fair is that.
