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

[tokon]

Most people acknowledge that 154lbs is too big for Floyd to compete at. Floyd has only competed at junior middleweight twice for BIG MONEY fights. If GGG were to become a PPV draw then maybe we could ponder this fight having a realistic chance of getting made... until then keep scheming and dreaming of the a magic Floyd boogie man that'll beat him.

Just curious... If GGG can make 154lbs so easily then why not fight Lara, Andrade, or Canelo at 154lbs? GGG has fought a lot of 154lbers but only at his preferred weight of 160lbs. And if size isn't that big of an issue than GGG shouldn't have said he would fight a Chavez Jr. at 168lbs but not an Andre Ward. But Ward isn't active doe...

good points.

Floyd doesnt need a GGG fight anyways. There really is no upside to it for him. If he wants a title at 160lb there's always Cotto anyway!

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

During negotiations, which are more relevant than a two year old quote, he said no way to 150.

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

Can Kovalev drop down to 154 and contest for Floyd's belts? Ward, Hopkins can't, they offered to meet Floyd at 160.

Agreed with this post

Other than Floyd being a small Welterweight. He's a solid natural Welterweight clearly. Canelo also fights at Middleweight already

Yes, I agreed with those points too.

As regards Floyd "being a small welter", whilst he isn't actually "small" at the weight he isn't a "big welter" in terms of how much weight he cuts or what weight he rehydates to for fight time. I'm sure that he could have continued to make 140lb for much longer than he fought at that weight.

Floyd's just a **** sucking piece of **** coward who's too scared to face anyone his own size or in a fair fight. **** Floyd, he's ****en **** garbage.

He's moved up five divisions from 130. Nearly everyone he fights is naturally bigger than him.

People are ****ing losing their **** over Floyd. It's actually disturbing how freaked out and dumb most people get on here because of one fighter. Absolutely pathetic.

Comes up from 130, fights a bunch of naturally bigger jr welters, welters, and super welterweights all of whom are easily bigger and outweigh him significantly...."duuuuuurrrrrrr, Floyd just a coward who never face anyone his own size! duurrrr! **** that ***"

Goddamn ******.

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

I'd give Floyd all the credit in the world if he fought GGG at 154. I don't care about the backlash. Floyd is hated by many so of course those guys wouldn't give him any credit even if GGG proves himself and look strong and healthy. GGG wants the fight cause it's his dream fight. Personally I love to see it happen but I'm pretty sure Floyd will never entertain this idea.

"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.

Its embarrassing pulling up a quote from 2011. Here's what he was saying in 2013, when they were trying to make the fight

"Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez: Floyd Mayweather must face me at 154 pounds, I can't go lower"

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

I see that, but I don't understand why they wouldn't want that to help avoid any or every 48 excuses. I'm not parading that Floyd wouldn't fight him due to his size whatsoever. Just prove to us that you indeed have no issues making 154.

I've been saying this for months. If you can make 154 fine like your team is claiming, then why not do it and really put pressure on Floyd?

You might be right.. However, you quoted me saying i was spewing bs. I just simply showed you that I didn't fabricate a damn thing. .

I respect you. If green k means anything to you then I'll send some your way.

Honestly dude, I see you post and don't take you seriously. You're the type that has an excuse lined up no matter what.

But I guess I embarrassed myself for simply showing proof of Canelo being ****** enough to go on record and say he'd drop to 150 & Floyd taking advantage of that
