    From a Non-Mayweather Fan, he can beat GGG

    I don't care much for Floyd, though I used to be a fan of his a few years ago (don't enjoy watching him fight now)

    With that said, I think this dude can beat GGG

    He clearly hasn't lost his legs, seems he just chooses when to use them, that kind of lateral movement without any certain rhythm, with a large ring like last night, would make it very very difficult for GGG to land anything big on him

    I'm not one of those people who thinks the size disparity would make that much of a difference in this fight, Floyd is a pretty big 147 (I can't think of anybody at 147 who's clearly bigger than Floyd is, key word being "Clearly")

    I'd love to see this fight, beating GGG would be easily the biggest win of his career without a doubt

    GGG is my 2nd fav fighter right now, so I'm being painfully honest here even for my own good lol

    I don't know about this given the way Maidana bullied Floyd in the early rounds of their first fight. I have to assume Golovkin could do the same thing Maidana did, only his punches would hurt Floyd a lot more.

      I don't hold much confidence in Golovkin tbh, he's not great at cutting off. Took him a long time to beat Murray.

      That only fighters that I believe hold the talent to beat Floyd are a 100% Pacquiao, Maidana, & Khan.

      If Lara was smart, I would pick him to, but he'd probably follow Floyd and get countered all day.

        I'm a HUGE Mayweather fan but he doesn't have a chance, honestly. I think it's ridiculous that people even talk about this. Golovkin is snapping heads with his jab, this against considerably bigger men than Mayweather.

          i think floyd underestimated maidana in the first fight, similar to how broner did.

              would love for this to be his last fight. but in the end, golovkin has enough power to hurt 174lbers. its not realistic to expect mayweather to take much from him, his power is just off the scale

                Golovkin is to powerful if Floyd was natural junior middleweight and closer to his prime I would definitely pick him though.

                  No he cant , too much youth power and size its a bridge to far at this stage of Floyds career , the mans nearly 40 and a WW be realistic .

                    Power punchers bigger than Canelo put Mayweather in serious danger.

                    I would fear for his safety versus Kirkland or even Thurman.
