Floyd made Marquez jump 3 weights in a year to fight him.
Also, floyd didn't have abelt when he fought lightweight marquez.

Dawson got a big payday was drained and got beat, Ward got little credit. Both got what they deserved.
GGG is seen as a much bigger threat, and dropping 3 lbs more than he has weighed for some fights is not huge. He is a small middleweight as well.
Floyd being a small light middlleweight would get a lot of credit if he won.

If Floyd don't want to fight the best challenges at 154lbs then vacate, he should have been stripped a long time ago.
If you can't defend your title in a year, against top opposition then you get stripped IMO.
Is there a reason why you are against GGG vs Mayweather at 154lbs?
He still fought a small lightweight at the time with Marquez.
Could you imagine Thruman fighting Mikey Garcia next and ignoring an agreed catchweight.

The question is:
Why don't you want to see GGG & Ward? Cuz you completely ignored the fact that I posted that "GGG can go down to 154 & fight floyd but not fight ward at 168?"

I think the point of the fight is a good fight what the fans want to see, with a lot of legacy on the line.
Yet Mayweather vs Marquez did 1 million PPV and Mayweather vs Mosley did 1.4m. Turns out Mosley was the draw and that was just Floyd's excuse.
GGG vs Ward is a good fight, GGG is much the smaller man but has the skills and power to beat Ward.
But GGG is a middleweight, and the main priority is to rule the division. Moving up to super middle is in his future not present. A fight at 154lbs could happen now rather than in the future for GGG

It would be fun to see but you can't blame Floyd for not taking such a risk. It's a big size difference. 154 is not a natural weight for GGG. As a pro he has never fought at 154. Didn't GGG win olympic gold at 168lbs? GGG is really a MW/SMW. He's closer to Ward in size....When was the last time he made 154? Probably when he was 19-20 years old so I'm not sure he'll be able to make the weight without being weight drained.
I guess GGG will be 167-170 at fight night vs Floyd at 150 fight night.
If Floyd beats Pac and then takes on GGG and beats him too I have no problem with co-signing him everytime he says he's the best ever. Floyd will never fight him tho.

Same goes for any title holder.
GGG is a small middle, 154lbs is a squeeze but he can do it, probably just as comfortably as Kovalev makes 175lbs.
Floyd should have vacated or been stripped a long time ago in reality.

Yes Ward is a brave man for trying to drag MW Golovkin up to fight him.
Golovkin is a coward for agreeing to drain himself down to fight the current ring JMW champ.
Funny planet you live on.
