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

[Real Talk85]

Leonard is much bigger than Floyd. He was bigger than Hacker is that's why he moved up so well. Duran would have been a better example as he and Floyd are closer in size.

lol barely handled?

Lets make this clear about MAy 2nd...Floyd easily won that fight....but he barely did anything and threw/landed the fewest punches in his career....Just so happens MAnny really didnt do anything

If I was Mayweather I'd just retire. His detractors will never give him respect, they'll always create another boogeyman.

Basically. The expectations for Floyd are ridiculous. GGG would murder him. Too big and skilled. He'll crack Floyd's ribs easy with a few body shots. If this were 3-4 years ago with Floyd being much younger and still sharp, maybe. He could hit and move all night. But a 38 year old Floyd versus GGG is just asking for Floyd to get seriously hurt in the ring. Heck I don't even think B-Hop could handle GGG at this point. He'll give anyone from 160-168 (maybe 175) a serious problem. Imaging little Floyd in there with him. Ridiculous.

I would favor GGG in a Mayweather fight, but at the same time it would be a 160lb preying on a 147lb guy no matter what the CW...

I'd rather have Floyd fight a young, hungry welter as his last fight, an old guard vs the new guard fight.

Two reasons why this is a VERY bad idea

1) because no one respects a win where someone is forced to come down from their true weight class . So Floyd wins , but gains nothing but more hate bashing

2) GGG can't throw a punch unless he's set , so if Manny can barely catch Floyd (as nimble as he is) GGG would look like a mummy trying to catch a mouse .

If it did happen , all the Floyd haters would just be sitting around waiting for that one lucky punch , just like they did with Canelo

GGG would MURDER Mayweather, but thats not saying much.

This fight isnt in demand, and Mayweather is much too small and old to be THAT ambitious. He also would NEVER get full credit if it isnt at middleweight, its a lose lose situation for him

GGG's fight is Andre Ward... This is no different than Martinez calling out Pacquiao and Mayweather and all know how silly that was

Mayweather is going to have a well deserved soft touch, farewell fight and FINALLY retire from the sport and hopefully Pacquiao follows him.. Im ready for the next batch of fighters

[MrP4P]

But hey!

Atleast butt hurt Pacquiao fans can now jump on the GGG wagon and claim that Mayweather is scared and ducking GGG lol

[A.K]

can anyone in their right mind tell me why floyd would put on 15 pounds at 39.. let alone to fight a guy who actually only needs one shot to end it instead of combos.. since when has floyd done something that ballsy?? its not happening, he needs to take a rematch and face a pacman at 100% there is no other welter out there that can even win 3 rounds against him, and there no other welter out there that can draw the same amount of money. Believe me the fight would sell pac fans want to see the manny that throws 600 punches.

[SlySlickSmooth]

Why did he compare Leonard going to 160 to Floyd going to 160?? Hell Leonard went all the way to 175,he was a much bigger man then Floyd.come on Teddy

Well Golovkin said he could meet Floyd at 154 where Floyd is a champion.

[boxingitis]

Its going to be cotto for the wbc middleweight champion of the world.
