Comments Thread For: Murray: Mayweather-Golovkin is Fantasy and Dangerous

[hitking]

Nah. Margarito had about 5 inches and 20 lbs on Pac. Floyd's never fought a guy who has 5 inches on him.

Are we talking height or weight. Because Margarito outweighed Pac by 17lbs on fight night. Which is pretty much the same fight night weight difference Floyd has faced on several occassions.

Any other welterweights being pushed to fight GGG? Is Mayweather the only welterweight good enough to stand a chance with him?

That is a huge compliment if people think that.

BTW, Chico Corrales was pretty tall.

Of course he is, and it is a huge compliment indeed. He's freaking 38 years old.

The difference between GGG and Mayweather is not greater than the difference between Margarito and Pac.

But the difference in balls between Pac and Mayweather is pretty big.

Balls so big that Pac says he won't fight at 54 again.

Floyds always held back, so I doubt hed fight GGG.
But the dilemma lies in the fact that Floyd calls himself TBE, yet knows nobody thinks he is.

You cant put limitiatons on what you have to do, to get the legacy you want.

Did Floyd ever say GGG was too big? Murray speaks for Floyd I guess. Maybe GGG should fight Lara at 54 first. I don't see how he gets a Money PPV fight with the bums he's fought.

Also Golovkin is actually a middleweight, not an ex-welterweight, one fight removed from a brutal knockout loss following him being caught trying to use plaster of paris in his hand wraps. We'll still never know if Margarito was ever that playing fair when he KO'd Cotto and pushed a prime welterweight Paul Williams to the brink.

No see, Floyd and Hatton started their careers at about the same time. Hatton at 140 and Floyd at 130. Floyd ducked Hatton the entire time until he hit puberty in his 30s so he'd have a huge size advantage.

Seems like Golovkin is carefully selecting by not fighting Ward or Lara.
