Mayweather should face Golovkin at 154lbs

Thats why Floyd cant retire, he needs to be underdog at 160 against GGG to make up for a smoke and mirrors career.

Fighting GGG now would be a huge risk for not much reward. If he fights GGG at 154 he definitely won't get any credit and you are fool to think otherwise.

He would get tremendous credit if he fought GGG at 160, even if he didn't win. It would make up for a smoke and mirrors career. It is a risk fight and a high reward fight. The risk is only losing, which Floyd has claimed isn't that important, although theres not much evidence to support the idea that he don't mind losing his zero. Its probably his health that is more important, but he wont get hurt v GGG, because Floyd don't get hit and he can quit at any point during a fight. Its a high reward fight because beating the best 160 will put Floyd top 10 all time that's whats on the line.
A high risk little reward fight is when Pac beat Margarto so you are confusing yourself here.
BH didn't get hurt vs kovalev due to his defensive skills and hes 12 years older than Floyd.

Very interesting info there. So then we can safely cancel out Corrales too it means effectively Floyd has never actually fought a top tier fighter who was in their prime, who hadn't been recently defeated, or wasn't weight-drained. Not a single time in 49 fights! The illusion of his career is permanently shattered at this point.

You can't really be serious......even if that were remotely true, how do you explain the universal respect Mayweather garners from the majority of current trainers and fighters?

People do respect Floyds abilities and he has beaten who he has beaten very well mostly. But again its smoke and mirrors that allows him to perform very well against who he has.
A magician has to meticulously plan and rehearse his act before blowing you away with sleight of hand and magic that you think looks impossible. How do you cut people in half and make them levitage? Same thing with Floyd.
Just take a unmistakable risk for once Floyd. You can bloat JMM up 2 divisions, therefore there should be no reason why Floyd cant do it.

Why would he fight Little G when he could fight someone who is the lineal 160 champion, has a better resume and brings more money to the table instead?

[spytactics]

for what?

If he wins = GGG was weight drained and all Floyd did was run

if he loses = Floyd has always been overrated! haha lol! lets make more memes!

Floyd was always two things: overrated and overpaid

Its not a high reward fight. GGG is not a huge PPV star so the fight likely won't even do that well on PPV. GGG has no big names on his resume so if Floyd were to beat him his critics would just bash GGG instead of give Floyd credit just like they have done with nearly all of Floyd's opponents.

Oscar De La Hoya had a far superior resume to GGG, he had an olympic Gold Medal, and was a huge star. When Floyd beat Oscar, Oscar was approximately the same age GGG is now. And what do people say about Floyd's victory over Oscar? That he was over the hill.

And Bernard Hopkins definitely did get hurt against Kovalev. If you don't know how to tell when a fighter is hurt you need to seriously stop watching boxing.

[Larry the boss]

No GGG should fight Ward at 168 or Canelo at 155..you know 2 young not retired fighters

[Blue Heffner]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is retired. Why can't we just focus on the fighters that are well and active instead of bringing up Floyd's name every other day? You people always talk about what he needs TO DO. The man's legacy is solidified and respected by other active fighters. El Tejano is an idoit!

[joesaiditstrue]

They don't know how to deal with not having the numbers anymore. They thought it would be 2009 forever.

what are you talking about?

the fact that mayweather fans are the equivalent of a cult surprises you?

they're the worst fans in boxing followed by Cotto fans
