Thatd be bad@$$ if Floyd fought him. Id be more interested in his gameplan.

Stick and move and stay on the backfoot to reduce any damage from GGG. Not much more to it than that.

Don't see why we need to talk about this fight.

However, if he were to take it and win it, then we'd be talking about a fighter in the upper echelons of all time greats of boxing.

Fans actually said back in the day that Floyd would never fight Ricky Hatton. Recently it was Pacquiao, Cotto and Canelo.

Lol, I remember people were saying he was ducking Berto.

If Cotto's jab gave Floyd a ketchup sandwich, I really wonder how he could stand up to GGG's. Answer is, he couldn't. Staying on the backfoot vs GGG just gives you a more prolonged beating. Floyd's style can't beat GGG's.

Why not? Lots of people are saying Floyd beats GGG now. The fight should be talked about if they think Floyd could actually stay in the ring with GGG.

At a cw Floyd beats GGG if he has a rehydration clause preventing GGG from goin over a certain weight. If GGG comes in too heavy he will still get out boxed but the power behind the one punch he just might land would be significant enough to change things. So it's deff more interesting if 3G can balloon up but I don't see Floyd taking that chance. It would be cw with rh clause or it wouldn't happen.

The fight should be made then. No excuses. Will Floyd agree to GGG's challenge?

[CANELOLUJAH]

yea sure, set it up.

You'd be the first guy saying GGG was drained if Floyd beat him. If GGG could fight at 154 he'd be challenging Canelo instead of trying to get him to move up. Floyd haters have a built in excuse if he wins, and will give him no credit if he loses.

I don't know what Snr is talking about when he says GGG rehydrating to 180 lbs. That's 26 lbs...that's impossible to do in 24 hrs and he only walks around at 175. He's around 170 when he fights at 160. And Floyd would impose a CW anyways...probably 152. Not much of a giant...he's only 2" taller than Floyd and Floyd has a 3" reach advantage.
