    So ofcourse now we all know these people will be begging GGG to move to 175, skip 168lbs what does it matter, right?

    AND this is exactly what Floyd should have done I mean he does probably use steroids afterall that and the fact he has tonnes of stipulations in his favour but he was the favourite because his inside ring ability?
    I don't think so, lol.

    Funny how things work...

    One set of fans will say and do anything to defend a convicted felon, racist, woman beater and likely drug user but they'll do everything in their power to slander a man who shows the attitude of everything a real boxing fan should want...
    Entertaining, realistic, ambitious, likable, picks fights with his own gender, leaves fighting inside the ring....
    Something doesn't add up here, do these Floyd fans like Floyd because of all the wrong doings?
    Or could it be something else hmmmmmmmmm, I do wonder
    How on Gods green earth are you trying to compare GGG to Mayweather?? how? Mayweather is a 4 division lineal champion,has defeated several hall of famers and over half of his fights were title fights..GGG just defeated his 1st current world champion and it was ****ing David Lemiuex

          In all fairness, Golovkin hasn't even fought anyone in the same stratosphere as Floyd's competition over his career, even if you believe Floyd was carefully matched.

              Mayweather's secret is his reach advantage coupled with his speed. He has freakish long arms for his size. The only people he fought that had equal arm length. Dela Hoya and Judah. Longer arms Mosley.

              An interesting way to think about a mayweather fight would be if mayweather didn't have a reach advantage how would he fare against clottey, Paul Williams. Etc...

              FYI Corrales had real short arms but was tall. Mayweather smoked him

                  Corrales was slow and being punched easily by Garcia and Gainer before coming back and scoring the knockout. Nobody thought he would be able to handle Mayweather's speed.
