    i think he can win but it would look even way worse than the pac fight. he would have to shamelessly disengage. although GGG might catch up to him since he just as tall/taller and cuts of the ring well. imo, if you can't hurt floyd seriously with one punch, you can't beat him. manny buzzed floyd but floyd was able to clear his head and move. floyd has insane recovery but GGG has one punch KO power so it will be a road runner/wile coyote type of fight.

    major props to floyd if he signs up for this one.

      Yeah...but I still don't think he would get credit. GGG has never fought at 154 as a pro, so haters would have a built in excuse before the fight even starts.

        I thought this was recent for a sec. This was in November 2014. Damn. This vid is old. The guy Dontae is interviewing sounds like he has no knowledge at all about GGG.

        He thinks coming forward against GGG would help a fighter. Coming forward at GGG would get you KTFO.

          If Sr cares anything about his son's safety, he should keep Golovkin's name out of his mouth.

          We all know that we're going to get Mayweather/Cotto II anyway. At a CW.:floyd:

            Floyd doesnt necessarily just have to move to neutralize GGG, i can see him ducking then closing the distance before tying up or pivoting away. Turn him or force him to reset. I imagine hed be doing it all to keep GGG guessing. And theres always GGGs power that makes this fight interesting. I just have a feelingGGG wont look like a killer against Floyd. Im all for the fight honestly.

              Oh no doubt. But honestly, theres no one left for Floyd. Ppl are saying Khan, but id hate to see him get it based on his opposition level. Those haters would HATE to see Floyd school GGG i know it.

                I think it depend more on the approach of "coming forward", Floyd can duck and close the distance then clinch or pivot out. Or he can slip a punch, pivot out nd have a nice angle on him. But that GGG power is what makes this interesting.

                  If fmj faces and beats 3G... I might even have a floyd avi for like a week. I'd prefer 154+, but whatever weight its at will be good.

                    The operative word is "probably". Bad fight for Mayweather.

                      I like how he admits that "Floyd would RUN the stuff off of him."
