Comments Thread For: Bernstein: At His Age, Mayweather Won't Beat Golovkin

[firstborn]

Floyd said GGG has no special effects and that he would beat him, so if Floyd don't fight GGG at 160 it would Floyd ducking GGG.

Floyd should fight GGG at 160 because that is his legacy fight that will put him in the Duran and SRL brackets.

I think Floyd could survive 12 rounds with GGG at middleweight and that's all hes got to do. The first man to take him the distance is a big achievement. Come on Floyd show us your wizardy, magician defensive skills. Pot shot, run, clinch, use it all and show us your full repertoire. People wont deny you that. This wont be an exciting fight we know, but its intrigueing. Floyd will do what he always does but even more so and people wont begrudge Floyd doing what he has to do.
That loss wont mean much, because you wasn't meant to win, but it will show you did take a risk in your career. You may have taken one or two risks in a career but they were calculated, and in a 18 year career that is few and far between.

Mayweather is not the fighter he used to be, facing GGG at 160lb would be suicide. BTW, for a while you were one of Mayweather's biggest critics so it's hard to tell if you're being serious or really just want to see him finally get demolished.

I agree. Golovkin is too big for Mayweather.

Floyd has slowed down rapidly over the past couple years. Even in his better days, it would have been hard for him to make it the full 12 with someone like that. He could have done it back then with his then legs under him, but not now. He should stay retired.

The usual. "We've heard it before".

GGG is too big.

Floyd doesn't fight at 160.

GGG hasn't done anything to deserve.................

The facts are: Floyd is a 3 time 154lb champ. GGG has offered to fight him there. No need for 160.

If GGG hasn't done anything, what has Berto, Ortiz, the Ghost, Judah, or Maidana done that has made them his choices?? That's what I thought.

I am GGG fan and I don't like this fight. At 160 GGG obviously wins, but what does it prove? At 154 - IDK. I'm afraid that Golovkin overesimating his ability to cut weight. But even if he goes there and beats Floyd, then what?... Floyd is not only small, he is also old. This fight is a circus act for me - no matter how you slice it. And after cutting so much weight I think Golovkin will be compromised for his next fights.

Mayweather facing GGG at 160lb would be suicide.

Only if Floyd isn't as good as we thought he was. Why isn't it suicide when James Toney goes to heavyweight and fights heavy hitting heavyweight Samuel peters, or Duran to go up 2 divisions and fight haggler?

I think Floyd can last 12 rounds with GGG and make it a really boring fight. He can throw less and you never know Floyd may get a decision. Floyd I can visualize making GGG look silly, missing so much and chasing shadows. Floyd probably spars with heavyweights. All Floyd has to do is treat a fight with GGG like he would a sparring session.

Floyd needs to be underdog at least once in his career. That's how its been for every great fighter before Floyd. He will be criticised for not taking a risk, that is how people will remember him. His legacy wont grow like he hopes it will.

Well when you run around claiming tbe and no where near it, you desver to get destroyed, bring it let see ggg $h!t Floyd out and flush him down the toilet

mayweather/golovkin would NOT make "zillions of dollars" GTFOH bernstein. how many people were supposed to beat floyd and none did it.. whats so special about golovkin? oh damn, he beat lemieux and murray, floyd scared. smh i guess these people never learn. hes coming down to 154 to get schooled and pick up a charity check thats it. but golovkin hasn't earned the check yet. his biggest win is lemieux, but berto is more accomplished than him. the G man needs to earn the charity donation, if he does, floyd will fight him. better yet why not use the 155 lb canelo fight to get used to fighting at a lower weight and if little g wins there he'll be right in floyd's backyard as far as weight.

Wow.. I'm trying not to be disrespectful but the only word I can think of is moron.
Golovkin is a silver Olympic medalist with a stellar amateur career and is undefeated as a pro and is currently riding a 21 fight knockout streak. He hasn't earned earned a fight with Floyd? I guess he had better fight josesito Lopez and Steve chambers so that he can properly "earn" it.... What a delusional Floyd fan

The usual. "We've heard it before".

Ward is too big.

GGG doesn't fight at 168.

Ward hasn't done anything to deserve.................

The facts are: GGG offered to fight Froch & Chavez @ 168. Ward has offered to fight him there. No need for 164.

If Ward hasn't done anything, what has Monroe, Rubio, Adama, Stevens, or Lemieux done that has made them his choices?? That's what I thought.

That was too easy.

[Jc8804]

I remember floyd fans saying floyd would beat martinez and pavlik at 160.

GGG will hurt floyd bad. Evan a glancing blow that misses and clips the back of floyds head would hurt him.

Floyd would severly damaged and stopped.

The guy is a cheat and didnt challenge himself .most his fights the last 8 yrs have had many stipulations..
