Mayweather vs Golovkin should NOT happen!

[IronDanHamza]

If he weighed in at 147 for a LMW bout I'd agree with you. For example, Pacquiao weighed in at 144 for Margarito but Floyd weighs in at 150-151 for LMW bouts which clearly makes him a small LMW for the bout.



Would that make him smaller though? Are we supposed to believe Pacquiao is bigger than Mayweather? I believe what my eyes tell me, Floyd was the bigger man in the ring. People used to say that about Maidana too, but despite the weight he never looked much bigger than Floyd either, if at all.

So coming to the ring at 150 lbs for a WW bout doesn't make you a small WW?

Floyd's a tiny JMW not a small one. There's a reason he only fights there for big money. He can't even make the full limit. Pacquaio has made the 147 limit before.

Pacquaio was 152 unofficially. That's more than Floyd's ever been unofficially.

so floyd is smaller than manny?

[I Love Jesus!]

It's incredibly ****** to ask and even expect Floyd to face GGG, Floyd is a small 147lber who rehydrates to 149, Golovkin is natural 160lb fighter who is bound to move up sooner or later. It's ludicrous and unrealistic, people just want to see Mayweather lose so they're throwing him in unfair match ups where he'd be at a severe disadvantage. Before you call me a *****, Golovkin is also one of my favourite fighters.

so what floyd might as well go for the glory whats the worst that can happen he loses? gets stopped? big deal happens every week to some boxer its part of the game. if he really wanna be the best ever he has to do something extraordinary. dont be such a ho to the mo

Nah, just using the weights to argue they aren't that far apart in weight.

We know that Floyd's weight is around 150-152.

Pacquaio has varied from 143-150.

[I Love Jesus!]

its been done by guys smaller then floyd

floyd's weight has been 150 - ???. we don't know what he weighed against marquez or pacquiao. you seem to be the only guy who thinks he didn't have a very significant size advantage in both of those fights.

we do know that he couldn't make the catchweight against marquez, and was fined over half a million dollars when he was in horrible debt with the IRS, and needed the money.

We don't know all his weights but we know the weights for multiple fights, and we also know his weights for his 30 day weigh ins. And based of them its a very safe bet that his weight is about 150 lbs.

I'm not the only one, me and Pacquaio think it atleast And there's quite a few others too. I disagree with Pacquaio actually I do think Floyd is bigger, just not by much.

You last sentance is almost entirely speculation other than him not making the weight. We know nothing of his finances at that time in his life.

yes we do.

floyd's several million dollar tax debts /l in '07 and '09 are well established.

the '07 lien, which was paid, was 6.7 million. this is according to floyd's tax attorney. both parties [floyd and the IRS] agreed to put a levy on his purse against marquez to satisfy it.


he's defaulted on loans, and had cars repossessed.

he wasn't going hungry, but he was in massive debt with the IRS at the time of his fight with marquez.

Thats a fairly silly argument. JMM was a superfeatherweight moving up to WW to face Floyd even though everybody knew it was a mismatch.

I'd call it even with his past 10 fights or so.
