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

[MisanthropicNY]

So when should we officially add Triple G to the list of opponents Floyd has ducked:

Winky Wright, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams, Sergio Martinez, Manny Pacquiao...

Honorable mentions:

Paul Spadafora, The Kid from Punch Out, Tyson Fury, Bernard Hopkins & Ronda Rousey (UFC rules)

smh. some of these dudes make me wonder sometimes.

I guess you're trying to win an Oscar award with this "I'm against racism" act. You are the epitome of everything you accuse others of being. You are a bigot and an advocate of hate violence yet you always accuse others of being what you are. Your hatred is so thinly veiled that it's pretty hilarious that you think this whole act where you accuse others isn't completely transparent.

Have you any actual evidence of this or are you going to just keep projecting your own not even hidden racism? 'Go fix your tuk tuk' your mate said...I bet you loved that one!

I think you've proven that Bob Arum has made making the fight harder than it should have been but you haven't shown me where Manny didn't want the fight after the blood testing... I agree that Manny should have done the blood-testing and that negotiation failing was his fault but after Manny agreed to do blood-testing...why hasn't Floyd made a good faith effort to make the fight happen?

Okay. Floyd Mayweather was the last to make an offer in 2012 when he got his jail time postponed so he would be available to fight in May when Arum said they were planning to have Pacquiao fight. As soon as they found out Mayweather was getting his time postponed all of the sudden Pacquiao's cut won't heal and they need to build an out door stadium. Not once during the entire saga has Mayweather pulled such a blatantly fallacious move. Since that time I would have to say that the ball is in Pacquiao and Arum's court to make a "good faith offering". Pacquiao and Arum have just used their much better relationship with the media to spin the whole issue.

Floyd shouldn't keep playing the will he or wont he fight the smaller pac game. Just fight GGG already. And you shouldn't need to be put under pressure to fight GGG. BH didn't need everyone putting him under pressure to fight the bad man Kovalev, and he came out of that fight no problems.

Floyd wouldn't get stopped against GGG. Floyd could dance all night long and hardly take any punches. THe only problem facing GGG is if you don't know how to avoid getting hit, FLoyd hasn't got those problems.
If 50 year BH can survive Kovalev, the best in the world should be able to avoid being ko'ed by GGG no problems.

If Floyd was ever going to go after a belt at 160 it would be against Miguel Cotto and that's about it. Floyd doesn't have the firepower to move up like that so he dances with 154 and primarily fights at 147. If he had say another 4 to 5 years id agree that a move up would be ideal, at his age though I think it would be flirting with disaster. Oh and all the weight talk, he fought Canelo who weighed pretty much the same as Golokin did after rehydration.

Doubt that since Cotto stated he will fight his last fights with Top Rank helping him promote, more like Jermain Taylor since Taylor is signed with Haymon and has a fresh belt.

So many trainers believe in Floyds skills, I forgot which trainer that was who said Floyd should go up to middleweight, he said Pacman went up many divisions and capped off, Floyd should try for greatness like Sugar Ray Robinson did but came short for the light heavyweight title Sugar Ray didn't even weigh 175, Floyd said he sparrs light heavyweights in the gym and super middles and hangs with them, people love you win lose or draw when you dont fear losing. Look how the crowd cheered Bernard Hopkins racist ass after he lost in a valiant effort in the 12th round.

I agree with David Jackson here that the MAnny fight no longer has the luster, When B hop fought Kovalev I was amped my heart was pounding because this was a legit fight where you didnt know what would happen, I haven't had that in a long time with Floyd.

I personally think Floyd would outbox GGG, GGG is flat footed and slow but he has that dangerous power, and Maidana who is slow and flat footed was able to land on Floyd. Floyd needs to work on throwing hard combos against someone like GGG.

they want Floyd to move up and fight GGG but he wont move up ONE division and fight Ward or two and fight Kovalev lol, same rules dont appy must be agenda based, ooohh and your so called brave warrior wont entertain anything over 150, lol Floyd must be TBE, for what his haters are asking of him and NO ONE ELSE

[FrankieBruno]

Floyd doesnt stand a chance at 160, lets be realistic here

Triple G can come down to 154, maybe then, but thats not saying much, beating a guy who is natrurally smaller than you and one who is pushing way above his weight class. Triple G needs to clear up his division and move up..anything else is backwards..Yes freak matchups are cool, but not very realistic..I honestly dont even want to see Triple G vs Cotto...

Floyd is a 147 boxer...

Khan will beat him anyways

So John David Jackson and several top boxing trainers have an Agenda and are jealous and haters of Floyd? The trainers who said he should fight GGG or a middleweight all said he beats this version of Pacquiao easy and its not worth it anymore and since Floyd calls himself TBE they woould like to see him try win lose or draw and go in against a real test, Floyd said he spars light heavyweights in sparring and has easy work with them, so why not try? His father and uncle said size dont win fights skills do.

I personally think Floyd can outbox GGG.

GGG will beat Floyd and once he beats Floyd he qualifies to beat Ward. One step at a time.
Floyd claims hes TBE. People are just confused why BH can fight kovalev without being pressure into it, yet Floyd don't ever do anything to justify the praise that is placed upon him.

Floyd has been called out, by GGG, so at least Floyd should respond to that challenge, with maybe a no thanks, I don't think I can beat you, or something at least.
Roger or Senior said FLoyd could beat GGG, so what is Floyds response to that? Floyd is supposed to be a talker yet gives the silent treatment when convenient.
