Mayweather Vs Golovkin Who wins?

[boliodogs]

GGG would flatten Mayweather within 5 rounds or less but Mayweather would never fight him. If someone wants to see GGG lose they can forget about welterweights or anyone under 175 pounds. Maybe Kovalev can beat him.

Floyd is aging, past prime welterweight. Golovkin is a prime, relentless, hard hitting middleweight. Give me a break.

p4p floyd schools him

h2h golovkin flattens him


a good big man beats a good little man, same thing applies to great big and little men. ggg is too big for him.

The 5 who voted Mayweather wins by KO must really be Mayweather worshipers. Mayweather hasn't even knocked anyone down in years and that's mostly fighting welterweights.Now all of a sudden he is going to knock out the toughest middleweight alive who has never been even knocked down in hundreds of amateur and pro fights. Yeah, right. Dream on in fantasy land. Mayweather couldn't knock him out if they let him fight with brass knuckles.

Floyd could pull a dirty sucker punch move like he did to Ortiz and GGG will just smile at him.

who are the 5 people who voted floyd by KO/TKO?? lol

You have to specify the weight they're fighting at.

At 160, GGG probably wins by TKO.

At 154...I don't know. Floyd might pull that one out.

Floyd is smaller like a bird, with bird bones, compared to GGG. Not a fair matchup. But Floyd is so freaking skilled he would make it interesting.

the posts here are interesting/telling

I think Floyd has a realistic chance of beating him, but that doesn't mean I'd pick him to win

I'd say it's a 60/40 fight for GGG, people really do fall in love with punchers and I say this as a bigger GGG fan than Mayweather fan but stop pretending like Floyd has no chance, that's absurd, they are two divisions apart. There are much greater disparities in weight in the heavyweight division (I can already hear the responses being typed up regarding this comment, "But the percentage of weight increase is larger going from 147-160!)

also, Floyd fought Canelo who has blown up to 170+ multiple times (granted he was 165 in the Floyd fight), and Canelo is every bit as big as GGG is in the frame.

GGG fights more like Castillo than he does Canelo. Castillo gave Floyd more than enough trouble, so even on a P4P level, GGG's style would be good enough to fight even with, if not beat Floyd. Now let's take in the fact that he's a solid MW who punches a lot harder than Castillo, thus giving better command of the ring. Floyd really has no shot here. Simply saying it's because of size isn't half of it - it's style, skill, size and power.

Yes it is.

Floyd's last fight, he weighed 150lbs on fight night. Golovkin weighs 173-174lbs. That's a 23-24lb weight difference on FN. But it's fine.

Ward weighs 176lbs on fight night, GGG 173-174, 2-3lb weight difference on FN. But Ward has to move up to fight Kovalev.

But then they say with a straight face, that Floyd is a bum or overrated
