    Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and end this discussion now.
    If you don't see where the comparisons are you clearly can't be that much of a boxing fan.

      Ward isn't worth the hype until he fights Kovalev at 175.
      except the fact ur ignoring mayweather fighting at 154 is like ggg fighting at 168

          You're talking out your ass If you don't think Murray has a comparably chin and heart to Froch.

            And Mayweather got plenty of **** for asking for a catchweight against Canelo.
            It's not Golovkin, Monzon or Hagler's fault their bodies were fully mature at 24 years. Floyd's body grew out of weight divisions just like Cotto & Dawson's did. If anything it's more pathetic for a young guy to cut weight so that he can have a size advantage over his foe rather than fight someone truly his own size.

            What's more is Floyd left his best possible challengers behind in those divisions. He never even seriously attempted Casamayor, Freitas, Johnston, Lazcano, or Tsyzu. Where as Golovkin signed to fight Pirog, forced mandatory shots vs Geale & Sturm, made offers to face Quillin, and offered to travel to Argentina to face Martinez instead of Murray.

            And Golovkin received plenty of **** for asking for 164 - happy day.

                That's always a bit hard to do when you have to travel away to someone elses territory for your world title fights.

                  Froch did that with success so yeah, no comparison at all.

                    Mayweather grew out of 3 weight divisions (130,135,140) and fought select foes at 154. He was 23 years old when he left 130lbs and 27 years old when he left 135lbs for 140 and 28 when he moved to 147 where his body stayed. People act like Mayweather moved up for a challenge -
                    I'd love to see his ass keep making 130lbs in his late 20's......



                    In fact Mayweather did the same thing GGG haters rage against GGG about.
                    • Golovkin challenged Froch & Chavez and offered Ward a catch weight.
                    • Mayweather challenged Dela Hoya & Cotto and offered Alvarez a catch weight.
                    Floyd was chasing Oscar Dela Hoya, who was fighting at 147-154 while Floyd was still at 130-135, tell me one fighter right now, who was willing to move up from featherweight to welterweight to fight 37-38 year old Floyd Mayweather just like Floyd did to fight 34 year old Oscar Dela Hoya?

                    Floyd beat 3 HOFers at 154 and he had the right to choose whoever opponents that can make him the most money, he fought for recognition and P4P supremacy for the first 11 years of his career, he earned the right to fight for money, money that he earned the hard way by moving up and becoming lineal champion in 4 different weight classes and by being P4P best for 8 years of his career and in the top 10 for 16 years.

                    Stop with the foolish comparisons please. Floyd only outgrew 130, Floyd could never make 154 ever, at least he tried but it just didn't happen, GGG never even tried to fight at 168 before to see how he's gonna perform there.

                      Damn, for a supposed P4P#1 (and retired), Mayweather sure spends a lot of his time talking about GGG, who's supposed to be a nobody. Man sounds shook to me.
