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

lol yeah sure. The 135 lbs version or?

Dude, I am saying imagine a 140 style version of Floyd fighting at 154. By the time Floyd got to 147 he became gun shy and relies more on defense. For his last five fights he's been a shot fighter. Just that he was exceptionally good in his prime, so even his decline version was able to beat top fighters.

[Carpe Diem]

Floyd's last two great performance were against, Guerrero and Canelo. He's too clumsy now when it comes to setting up his offense and his hands are so weak and fragile. He should stay retired unless someone out there is willing to give him an offer that he cannot refuse.

His defense was still remarkably sharp and near prime even as his offense wasn't. He was winning fights solely off his defense, since it let him suck offensively and get away with it. That Maidana is the only one who came close to exploiting his offensive decline is pretty damn remarkable and tells you how good a defensive fighter Mayweather was.

That's very true.

His Defense still to this day is sharp. Slipped abit but still very sharp. God knows how.

As opposed to his offense which at this point is almsot entirely shot.

Why would i imagine when it never happened?

I don't deal with ifs and buts. no version of Floyd beats curren Golovkin.

[Yaconcha]

he might agree 154 but hes walking into that ring at 160+ and thats very dangerous for a natural 147Ib boxer no matter how good he is.
ggg would attempt to go throught the defense, freddie roach said ages ago that pacman would hit that arm till it breaks...i think ggg would break it shoulder and all. its a mis match of weights BUT, get ggg at 147 or 154 on the night of the fight and its a different story.
yes hes a very hard hitter but his skill does need improving and at the moment, given the weights being in floyds favour i dont see ggg winning anything.
people just want to see floyd get kod and are prepared to see him get really hurt in the process, its not a draw for him because he has alot of money already.

Mayweather will never ever take a risk he hasn't in 19 years why would he start now. He fought a past his prime gatti, mosely, de la hoya, marquez cotto was damaged goods by margarito and pacman. His resume is not impressive at all all the elite fighters were faded past their best days. Floyd is a protected fighter he ony fights in matches he knows their is no risk of getting beat

[Marciano49]

Floyd has no excuse not to move up to take the crowns from GGG Duran fought Hagler at 160 Hearns did as well as Sugar Ray Leonard. De la Hoya started at 130 just like Floyd and he fought Hopkins at 160 again what his Floyd's excuse. He walks around at 151 paquiao jumped up from 135 to 145 for Oscar Floyd always had excuses period real champions fight the best when they are at their best and clearly Floyd has not done this ever. they say he beat 2 dozen champions what a joke look at the guys he beat corrales never beat one single elite fighter same for Judah Ortiz Hernandez Corley the list goes on and on all those guys are irrelevant.
