Comments Thread For: Merchant: Mayweather Should Face Golovkin, He's Afraid

[hugh grant]

Rubbish !

1)I dont hear Merchant calling for Pacquiao to fight Golovkin.

2)I didn't hear Merchant ridicule Pacquiao when he ducked Cotto at 150.

3)I didn't hear Merchant calling for Pacquiao to fight Canelo.

.

1) Why shouldnt Floyd fight GGG, he calls himself TBE, yet wanted a bravery award for fighting Pac, whilst JMM did it 4 times before Floyd. So basically FLoyd has never taken a risk, but when people ask him to for once take a risk against GGG, FLoyds fans say its because hes held to a higher standard?

2) Why would Merchant ridicule Pac when Pac won comfortably at 145. People assumed Pac would have beat Miguel at 147 as well. But Pac has already beat Cotto, so there wasnt really a need to give miguel a shot at 150, other than to give miguel maybe a better chance of winning.

3) Pac is smaller than Floyd, and is FOTD. Its not for Pac to prove himself, anymore. Its for Floyd to prove himself and make people believe they were wrong to make Pac FOTD. Stop concentrating on Pac and try get Floyd to forge his own legacy and path. Floyd wont be TBE by concentrating on what Pac does.

Lol, Pacquiao doesn't hold a belt at 154.

Mayweather's afraid of GGG. But, as we now know, he's sure not afraid of needles.

[Left2theliver]

I don't give Floyd too much **** for not fighting GGG. He's a decent sized Welterweight, and at 154lb he's already pretty small. He's be giving up a big size advantage at 160lb. Now, if he happened to do it and WIN, that'd be amazing. But again, I don't fault him too much for not fighting GGG. With that said, it's certainly better than this **** ass fight with Berto. I'd have more respect for him going up to 160 and losing to GGG than I have for him fighting and beating Berto at 147lb.

He should, at 154.

Who would have a problem with that fight ?

Mayweather > Golovkin at 154, no problem.

Lara and Canelo beat Golovkin at 154 as well.

And so does Cotto

So basically FLoyd has never taken a risk, but when people ask him to for once take a risk against GGG, FLoyds fans say its because hes held to a higher standard?

Mayweather just beat the next best welter AND the next best JMW.

He just beat the best guy in the division above him.

The fact that you need him to do it again proves that Mayweather is held to a higher standard.

Dont hear you calling for Pac to fight Golovkin.

Dont even hear you calling for Pac to fight Canelo.

Pac wouldn't even rematch Cotto at 150.

GTFOH

2) Why would Merchant ridicule Pac when Pac won comfortably at 145.

Are you serious ?

Merchant should have ridiculed Pac for demanding a catchweight from Cotto after already fighting at 147. That catchweight was a show-stopper, Pac was going to walk unless Cotto conceded.

2)People assumed Pac would have beat Miguel at 147 as well.

Bullshht, I didn't. I will go to my grave insisting that Pac could not have beaten Cotto at 147 - regardless as to what I really think - simply because I can, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Mayweather could not have beaten Canelo at 154 either

Regardless as what I really think, that is my position..... and there is nothing you/Pac can do about it. Read on about Cotto.....

2)But Pac has already beat Cotto, so there wasnt really a need to give miguel a shot at 150, other than to give miguel maybe a better chance of winning.

That is rubbish. They were desperate to fight Cotto, he was their #1 pick..... the only reason why they were forced to select Bradley instead, is because Pac flatly refused to fight Cotto at 150.

Cotto had moved up to 154, but Pac wanted to fight him at welter.

They wanted nothing to do with a healthy Cotto.

For some reason you dont have an issue with that, and yet you want Mayweather to jump two divisions and fight Golovkin..... so you are holding Mayweather to much higher standards than you hold Pacquiao.

Mayweather is way ahead of Pac.

It is not Mayweather who has ground to make up.

True, but I think that he should fight everyone at 154.

If you can make 154, then you are fair game.
And.....
If you can make 154, you will be beaten by Mayweather.

Golovkin said he could make 154.

Wow, you do go on dont you.
Simply FLoyd is not held to a higher standard. He isnt FOTD and he wont even try to be fighter of the next decade.
He fights JMMs leftovers and no matter who people want him to fight, he doesnt deliver. So Floyd fans may put him on a high level, but Floyd cant fulfill that level and live up to his fans expectations. Floyds critics might want FLoyd to prove that he should have been FOTD and the TBE by fighting GGG at 160 but Floyd cant deliver. He looks to what JMM does. Fighting Canelo at a CW, whilst old man SSM didnt is about as good as we are going to get from FLoyd. FLoyd fighting Canelo is nothing, as SSM did without a CW.... FLoyd takes no risks.
Hes famous for being methodical in and out of the ring, cherry picking, trying to get things in his favour, whether it be gloves, CW or not fighting outside his country. His fight with Pac is even controversial with the hydration now.
