Floyd did ask for 150 in fact he first asked for 147.
"when the (fight) negotiations started, they wanted me to go to 147. I said that's physically impossible. I couldn't do it. Then they inched up to 150. I said I can't do it, that's impossible. Those days are over. I can't make that weight anymore, I've grown.
"Then they went up to 151. And then finally, so we could make the fight, I said, 'If anything, I'll give up two pounds. I'll go up to 152. I agreed to that. Then they tried to force me to be quiet and not to mention anything that they came up with the weight of 152."

My agenda is that I hate A-side fighters handicapping their opponents. I didn't like it when Floyd did it or when Pac did it but Canelo has taken it to a new level.

GGG looked ordinary against Jacobs, Canelo, and Dervenchenko. He was able to buzz them all but none of them were ever truly hurt.
Floyd would do a lot of clinching and it would be an ugly fight but I actually struggle to see how Floyd loses. He would be so, so, so, so much faster than Gennady.
For those that say GGG should've won the 1st Canelo fight the Floyd/GGG fight would look very similar except Canelo was trying to "be Mayweather". Floyd is actually Mayweather and he would demonstrate how to potshot, move, hold, lots of jabs/punches to the gut, etc.
Also, Floyd fought green Canelo at 152. GGG would have to make 152 also.

GGG struggles against fighters who in-fight (Canelo 2 and Dervenchenko). Yet GGG would stop the best inside fighter of the past 5-10 years.
Trumpers shine again. . .

Ward was an average inside fighter. He was an elite clincher, but clinching would only do so much when a monster like Gennady is rearranging your ribcage in a phone booth fight.
