Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Gone, 160 Flatterers Need To Adjust Math

[Dean_Razorback]

how old was duran when he fought barkley?

[toshmurph]

Lyle Fitsimmons is a ****ing hypocrite, he called for Mayweather to fight Canelo a few years back!

Guess what, Canelo weighs more than Golovkin on fight night and he's fighting at 154... Canelo puts on nearly 20 lbs after weigh in, GGG puts on 8

[hugh grant]

Just fight GGG already at 160 why don't you Floyd? Its ok for you to bloat JMM 2 divisions isn't it? Why don't Floyd think he has to do what all the ATGs did before him? Why has he got an exemption?

Floyd is accused of cherry picking his whole career, or ducking or being chicken. He didn't get that reputation by accident! So for once take a challenge and risk and stop trying to preserve the supposed zero (supposed because everyone saw him lose to Castillo and also many saw him lose to Maidana and even to Pac)

Glovegate with Maidana, CW with Canelo, past prime fighters like SSM and DLH, shouldergate with Pac.
Just take a risk for once with no controversies.

Yeah I am because 3 fights before lalonde actually weighed in at 167 so know your history and facts...secondly the writer was talking about hagler and leonard and about his achievement I'm simply stating that lalonde was as even bigger fighter and it was at 168 and leonard was a welterweight so what ever way you dress it up...lalonde was a 20 lb naturally bigger fighter.....lalonde looked totally fine in the fight and was huge compared with leonard...6ft 2 over a 5ft 10 ...178lb fighter to a 160lb figher is pretty impressive no matter if lalonde had to lose weight...but he did it 2 fights before so it must not have been that hard to get down to 168..check your history mug

The only people who want to see this fight are people who are desperate to see Floyd lose.

Who wants to see a 39 year old Welterweight get sqaushed like a bug by a Middleweight beast like Golovkin?

No, Iron Dan, no...

Let's put it like this:

Floyd won his 154 belt back in May 2012...

... And Floyd refused to contemplate fights with Martinez or, later, Lara...
... Both Martinez (who also fought at 154) and Lara had longer reach and very solid boxing skills...
... Floyd defended his 154 strap against Maidana -- at 147, doe...

So, let's be fair on this one.

Let's face it. The fans don't want to see Golovkin face Ward because they know that's a fight he could actually lose. They also hate the idea of Golovkin fighting Kovalev because that would ruin their fan boy fantasies. They would love for him to go to 154 and face Mayeather because it would satisfy their blood lust to see Mayweather beaten to a pulp. I actually give Mayeather a chance to beat Golovkin because he's the superior boxer. If he has any problems landing on Mayweather then it's a wrap. Hopkins went up to 175 and won a championship after being a MW for about 20 years. I'm sure if you ask the groupies they already have Golovkin ahead of Hopkins. Let him do what Hopkins did before we give him the crown.

Where in my comment can you read anything I said in regards to mayweather weight classes...floyd is not even really a natural welterweight and it's proven with his punch power which is non existent...I have already said I don't expect floyd to go to the middleweights and face golovkin so don't question my knowledge lol...I know more in the left side of my nutcase than you do silly man.....what I said about leonard was about leonard not mayweather.....the point I'm making is floyd holds the light middleweight title and golovkin said he would go down a weight to face him and if he makes the weight then I see no problem in golovkin saying because we all know fighting floyd is a mega fight and big money and if he did face him and beat him then golovkin becomes the global super star....we all know that's the lottery.....but it was not a challenge...it was not a constant barrage of floyd is scared of me and blah blah blah....it was an offer and that's fine with me it's also fine with me that floyd don't need to accept it at 38 in the ***end of his career. Going up against a killer like golovkin would not be good for mayweathers health and his legacy.....he would get hurt 100 percent......

And what has ggg done to earn a shot at a 154 lbs title?

lorded over a superior division the top 154s have all moved to

[IronDanHamza]

No, Iron Dan, no...

Let's put it like this:

Floyd won his 154 belt back in May 2012...

... And Floyd refused to contemplate fights with Martinez or, later, Lara...
... Both Martinez (who also fought at 154) and Lara had longer reach and very solid boxing skills...
... Floyd defended his 154 strap against Maidana -- at 147, doe...

So, let's be fair on this one.

Mayweather is a Welterweight who will be 39 in February.

Golovkin is a Middleweight who's in his prime and crushing all the Middleweights with ease.

Why would you want to see such a one sided massacre?

38.

What weight class had Duran been competing that for the last 3 years when he fought Barkley?
