Comments Thread For: Hopkins' Coach: Mayweather-Golovkin is a Super Fight

[hugh grant]

Floyd puts limitations on what he can do, so will not be a high ATG. The high ATGs would say bring it on. Floyds not made of that stuff. He will say no thanks, Floyds not an alpha male, he is a beta male. Theres nothing wrong with being a beta male theres millions upon millions of them.

Are guys like Porter and Thurman big enough names to deserve a Mayweather fight?? Well, even though he's a rough house crowd pleaser, Maidana seems to have been a big enough name despite having had a tough time getting the better of old man Morales and being shut out by Devon Alexander - and Chino got to fight Floyd twice. Okay, he maybe merited the second try after bringing good action first time up but did his resume make him more deserving of the initial shot than Porter or Thurman would be no? I don't think so. As to whether either guy has anything that would actually threaten Floyd, that's another matter.

Floyd usually likes to fight them coming off a big win. Pac was an exception but that was Pac. Maidana just brutalized broner.... ok so it was broner but he was undefeated at the time, it was a dominating performance by Maidana.

Floyd aint asking for much, just a recent big win. You got guys like Khan and Thurman looking like **** with ****ty fighters, you aint getting the floyd fight. He wants to sell tickets and get them when they have a good boost in interest from a good win.

But its a very important matter, if Mayweather wants me to shell out $80.

GGG @ 154, is the only "mega-fight" available! I think Lara could beat Floyd @ 154, but no one would pay to see it. I think it will be Khan, live on CBS!

I think that Mayweather beats Golovkin quite easily at 154.

I also think Lara beats Golovkin at 154, because of style.

Golovkin at 154 would not be GGG, he would only be GG.

Losing that 6 pounds would be a killer.

Golovkin only needed a 4lb guarantee vs Ward

Not sure if Floyd beats Lara, but I suspect be would be too experienced/skilled.

That's exactly how Pacquiao would have to fight him...same way he fought Oscar...stay on his toes and avoid exchanges..get in and get out..I'd be concerned with Triple G getting him on the ropes though...

Floyd would just be Floyd and Triple G would have trouble landing cleanly on him..

I don't know why you wouldn't want to see the fight though...Triple G is clearly the best fighter out besides May/Pac..great amateur pedigree as well...let's see if May/Pac are too old or can box the match of their lives and see what Triple G is made of...

You cant be fkn serious ?

Do you mean best, or most popular ?

I will recant and buy the GGG vs Jr fight but why weight drain a Mang?

Why not just fight for the MW title?

Forget the edge and go Jr !

You can still run and you looked as sharp as ever even better since you hooked up with good ol Memo

Go Jr Go !!!!!

Even this halfwit understands about the weight

Mayweather beats GG at 154, but should stay away from GGG at 160.

[techdude69]

As a fight fan, any fight with GGG is worth seeing and I buy his fights on PPV in Australia. Im not buying another floyd fight unless his up against someone like GGG. Floyds fight suk period! It's always the same technical ****. I know this fight is a fantasy because there's know way floyd is going to risk he's legacy with a brutal ko by GGG.

Money would lose big time at 160. He's not even the same fighter at 154. He's too big and a lot slower at 154. He tried to muscle Cotto instead of moving around like he does at 147. That's why Freddie Roach thought that his legs were shot. It's because he wasn't moving at all against Cotto and when he fought Maidana who is very wild and made it more than difficult for him to use his defense the same way he would against a more technical fighter. At 154 he would have trouble, but at 160, he would not have a chance. He's a beast at 147 and would have power at 140. If Triple G was a slow moving, slow swinging fighter, then that would be different, but he's pretty fast and technical in my opinion. He's the king at 160and should wait for Canelo to move fully to 160 or meet at 157.

Money need to go ahead and fight Khan, even though he doesn't deserve it or a more deserving fighter like Thurman or Brooks. Then number 50 should either be Pac or Triple G at 154, if Money really want to test himself against a much bigger and stronger opponent at the ripe age of 39.

He is exactly the same.

Mayweather does not put on weight to fight at 154.

His style allows him to compete against much larger opponents.

Mayweather fought Cotto flat-footed, the same with Maidana I.

Mayweather beat those guys at their own game.

Roach is an idiot for stating that Mayweathers legs are shot.

And he did test himself by moving up, many times, recently he fought Canelo.

Mayweather is obviously a welter.

After Golovkin, who's next, Ward ?

Make it happen Floyd, don't bush out.
