So you are asking GGG to weigh in at maybe a pound less than usual and then rehydrate to his usual fight weight? You do realize that Golovkin has offered to drop to 154 for that fight, don't you? And that Floyd could NEVER reach 158? I don't see the point to your thread.

If i were talking about ggg droping to 154 to fight him for floyds jmw title sure but my point is if floyd choses to move up and take of golovkin for the MW crown what would people be reasonable for floyd to ask for withought seriously handicaping Tripple g

Let it go. Floyd is a 38 year old welterweight.

He is a big welterweight. Come on Floydie quit fooling the public. Take a challenge like all the greats did before you.

Floyd certainly isn't a big welterweight. In the top 10, the only ww smaller is pac.

Exactly and the reason why he can't do it especially given the time table he's being presented with is because it's almost* impossible for him to put on roughly 11 pounds of lean muscle in a years time without some "help"... If Mayweather were to make a catchweight of 158 and was still as defined as he is, that would turn heads in a serious way. The more likely scenario is he comes in at 150-154 tops and goes against a guy that is going to weigh 158 at the weight in and 170+ the next day ... And somehow this is a fair fight.

*i don't like to say things are impossible especially when I'm not exactly a fitness trainer.
