Comments Thread For: Atlas: Forget Khan, Mayweather Should Face Golovkin

GGG is too slow and he wouldnt be able to defend against Floyds potshots and movement.
GGG isnt maidana, hes not going to swarm over floyd......Hes a calculated fighter, which is good but to beat Floyd you cant hesitant because you'll just get countered.

Easy UD for Floyd, stick and move.

really Floyd hits like a pillow, GGG doesn't care about getting hit by a P****. GGG mercks Punk Floyd. GGG will win easy. Floyd can't throw 200 or 300 punches a fight and win that fight sherlock.

Mayweather has fought in five different divisions. Golovkin won't even fight one division up at 168 But Mayweather is ducking? Pathetic lol.

If Mayweather wanna prove he's the best of all time, forget khan, go slay a dragon! If he doesn't slay a dragon, he's ducking the greatest challenge of his life.

he's now beaten everyone we wanted him to beat. Stop asking for the impossible and just live with the fact he's the greatest of his generation and possibly ever.

lmao teddy off his head as usual

Just why is he off his head? Golovkin is the best fight Floyd could take for his legacy, Khan next!

GGG destroys Mayweather in my opinion, his jab, a punch a Mayweather has difficulty with, is a cinder block. He wastes no punches, his hooks to the body would break down Floyd before the 6th!

Somebody mentioned that GGG isn't a swarmed like Maidana and that's why he'd lose??? Well Castillo and Cotto weren't swarmers either, GGG is more versatile than the Cotto that fought Floyd and has a higher IQ than JLC

Money May could probably pull it off with his speed, legs and upper body movement but at what cost? Floyd is going to absorb a hell of a lot punishment once his back touches the ropes. GGG would not only swarm him with large volume punches along the ropes but because he is the naturally larger and stronger fighter he is very capable of penning Mayweather along those ropes for long stretches at a time and perhaps even hurting and wearing him down in the process. Additionallly, one can't truly rule out the very possibilty of Golovkin stopping him if he considered Cotto as the hardest and strongest fighter he had ever faced and Golovkin is even wider than Miguel Cotto.

The thing is that it doesn't matter if GGG lands only 40-50 punches. That would be enough to take Floyd out. Plus GGG has a great chin. Floyd's best punches wouldn't bother him at all.

and this fight (which will never happen), would it happen it would happen at CW 152 or similar.

But his fanboys want him to fight Cotto though, to claim he's the Middleweight Champion.

Without actually fighting Middleweights. This Cotto situation is an anomaly. Floyd exploiting this to claim some illegitimate championship does nothing for his resume but add eye candy, seemingly only attractive to this current fanboys..

I really don't get all of this GGG talk. Manny, who is WAY lighter/quicker/faster than GGG had trouble hitting Floyd yet people think a dude weighing 170+lb's on fight night could hit him? Aren't you the same dude's who said Floyd needs to stop fighting these big lumbering fighters?

Simply put, he would EASILY pot shot GGG all night.dodge almost all of his punches & just like Canelo his only hope is landing that "one big punch" which obviously won't happen.
