    no, I can tell u what the facts are. the facts are Floyd has never weighed in over 151 in a fight. Period. I can tell u his 30 day weight was 150. I can tell you, u have no idea what pac was wearing when he weighed in either. what you are doing is guessing and the "eye" test. Doesn't take a genius to realize Floyd is not weighing in much past 150 on fight night. he literally is never that big. U really have no argument besides what u think the case is.

        Floyd was 150 at his 30 day weigh in.......so you think somehow weighed more on fight night?

          As far as ggg goes... Let's be real, when in your few fights of being a fan have of ggg, you seen him fight productively at 154? He offered rosado a cw of 158. He's fought other smaller guys at 160. How can anyone here sit here and say he'd easily make 154 with ease?(not saying you're one of those)

          But being"actually the same size" as another fighter doesn't mean he's the same at 154 as he is at 160.

          How bout this... ggg fight a couple guys at 154 comfortably. Win and get a fight with Floyd going for that 50th victory opportunity. GGG fights 4 times a year anyway. So why not give that a shot? Then the hype and talk of a Floyd fight will be at its peak. And if Floyd wins, any discrediting of a victory wouldn't be there to be had



          So, in other words you have no problem with this match-up as long as GGG can prove that he can make the weight comfartably. GGG doesn't have to fight anyone at 154 to hype up a fight against Floyd. If Floyd would agree to fight GGG next as his last fight...It would be a HUGE fight. Floyd doesn't have to fight GGG but if the man can make 154 then it's a fight that could be made and people shouldn't dismiss it and say the fight should never happen because GGG is too big.

            So PAC was wearing 3 pounds of clothes and holding two porterhouse steaks? Go weigh yourself now with nothing on and then put on shoes, jeans and a jacket, see what the scale says. The whole time everyone is saying Floyd is the bigger guy. PAC weighed 155 so how is that possible if Floyd is only weighing in at 150?

                    Really? And the way Floyd is scrutinized you think he wouldn't be attacked for fighting a guy who is a career MW who got handicapped and forced into fighting at 154?

                    We've seen this with Canelo, we saw it with JMM moving up. Yet you think Floyd would get full credit if ggg made 154 & lost?

                    Yes, I'm ok with this matchup. What I'm not ok with are injuries and excuses being made beforehand or after the fact by the media, fans and fighters and his team.

                    Want a Floyd fight? Cool. Fight an easy tuneup like Ishe. Maybe get a little tougher foe in your next one like Trout or Andrade. Or get in there with Lara or a Charlo twin. Then once the wheels are rolling, fight the guy. You fight bums 3 outta 4 times a year. Might as well step it up and get a few good names under your belt at 154 before facing Floyd and show us you can in fact make that weight with no issues

                      When Floyd Sr. said GGG was a "damn giant", I think what he was really trying to say is "I'd like Floyd Jr. to fight somebody with a better chance to go to 49-0 against."
