Mayweather ain't losing period whoever he fights
Khan would probably be the toughest test

floyd junior don't want no big drama show last time he fought a slavic fighter he lost (olympics) as he would vs Triple GGG by KO

[Heavyfist]

Who knows Floyd might even win the fight. But he'd get the crap beaten out of him for quite a lot of it.

Floyd has said, he's not a warrior, or a fighter, boxing is just about making money for him, and he is not down with getting hit. GGG would most likely KO Floyd on the ropes the first or second time, he corners him there. He would sure give Floyd a beatdown.

It just seems insane for GGG to actually think he is in line for a shot at Floyd.

There's a difference between calling out a fighter and responding to a reporter's question. Notice how GGG has never mentioned Mayweather when he mentions who he'd like to fight in the ring post-fight? It's a dream fight for him, much like it is for damn near every fighter around Floyd's weight class, nothing more.

Can't stand fake frauds like this dude. Him and his promoter keep using Floyd name for publicity. You and Canelo both on hbo that fight should of been made. Fight Ward or Canelo stop fighting small guys.

GGG is an average size MW, Ward is actually a natural 175lber. stuffing himself into 168. I have serious doubts that we see Ward at 168 again. The difference in size between Mayweather and GGG is'nt as large as the disparity between Floyd and Manny. I have no doubt that Floyd was in the 160 ballpark in that fight. The size argument rings hollow.

I could care less who floyd fights next, but to sit there and ask a guy to fight, what in essence would be two weight classes above his own to fight a bigger guy, but than use the excuse that fighting Floyd is picking on a smaller guy is pretty amusing.

Golovkin needs to lay off that "big drama show" line, it's okay to say it as an accident but not deliberately.

1. The McCallum bout was for the vacant WBC crown. Wasn't like he was hiding his move to LHW or "slowly" built himself there. He fought for the title in his second bout.

2. Griffin was considered the second or third best LHW in the division when Jones fought him and Jones took him in his first title defence. Not slowly building at all, regardless of Montell's size (he was a legit LHW so IDK what you're talking about).

3. Hill wasn't retired. He had surgery following the Dariusz bout and Jones hadn't fought since the Griffin rematch, hence the catchweight.

4. Del Valle was a huge LHW. He came in the ring weighing 192.

You were saying?

Why do you use the word 'hiding'? Roy started out a small LHW and over the years filled in. McCallum was a shell of himself and a tryout for the weight class and easy title shot. Griffin is a small LHW. Short height & reach without much power. He made his status beating James Toney who looked half-*ss in that fight.

I remember reading a Katz article where Hill was calling it quits after Dariusz and Del Valle was no smaller than LHW's Roy was fighitng towards the end of his LHW run. My point was Roy got bigger at LHW over the years and that my original point was the Roy was never a natural MW because he outgrew the weight class early in his career.

You mean he naturally grew as he got older? Well..yeah.

"Spent years building himself into a LHW?" Irrelevant. He moved up and fought the elite in the division as soon as he won the title. Not even gonna bother countering the rest of your post because that should cover the gist.

The 168 p pound division barely existed when Hagler was fighting. So you expected him to move up 15 pounds to fight Spinks?

Comparing Golovkins career to Hagler is a pathetic stretch.

Just saying Hagler benefited from a stronger weight class due to the JMW/SMW divisions not being around. He had an option to move up and face Spinks but stayed at MW waiting on the welters to move up and fight him for his super fights.
