Why is GGG too big for Floyd?...Canelo wasn't.

[VatoMulatto]

How realistic is it? The guy doesn't fight at 154, he's never faced anyone the caliber that Canelo has. He's an exclusive HBO fighter(network disputes) so tell me how realistic this fight really is

If Ward got discredited for Dawson challenging him at Ward's weight and losing afterwards, you think it wouldn't be 100000000 times worse for Floyd in regards to the backlash? Let's be honest here.

I'm not saying Floyd should avoid this fight at all. I'm saying ggg might need to earn it a bit. That's it.

Do you even listen to what I'm saying???? I'm talking about the size difference that people always bring up why the fight should not happen. "The size difference, GGG is too big" excuse is what I have a problem with. That's the point of this thread....GGG is not too big.

Golovkin weighed 171 on fight night. Mayweather doesn't get any bigger than 155. That's a HUGE size difference.

There are two divisions separating these guys.

Mayweather didn't even fight Canelo at 154, it was a 152 lb catchweight.

I get it. Do you not get the crying about Canelo being "drained" over 2 lbs after he stated himself he'd fight Floyd at a weight as low as 150, iirc?

The backlash over that would pale in comparison to GGG going down an entire weight class, whether he's close to being the same size as the ginger or not. Or are you telling me you'd give Floyd full credit for fighting A MW at 154 whether ggg looked off and not himself in this hypothetical matchup?

I'm saying this... If ggg can prove he cane make 154 without any issues, cool. But show us. Fight a couple guys. Let the detractors not have any excuse and then get this potential super fight going

"It's what I want, the Mayweather fight. That's what we put on the table. I feel more mature and for that I am willing to go down to 150 pounds," said Canelo to Sal Rodriguez.

Thats exactly what i think when people think he has to fight GGG

Larry, it's a hypothetical thread. Calm down

From 2011?

[hhs661]

From 2011?

Yes. Their fight happens less than 2 years after Canelo made his statement.

You said he never said it. I showed you he did. That's basically the gist of the discussion we're having

[JaguaresMx]

Jesus this forum....

floyd has gone up 5 divisions, to the point he has no power at his current weight. GGG cant even go up 1 to find better opposition.

If Floyd were to fight a guy 2 divisions smaller the chaos that would ensue here.

But hey, maybe if he can fight GGG and beat him, why not Kovalev?

Floyd be ducking kovalev. Floyd is all hype. He is afraid to be exposed

Note how none of these "huge" GGG supporters ever want that. Perhaps because it loses them their "win-win" anti-Floyd scenario?
