Floyd Mayweather says B-Side Golovkin should face Canelo at 155

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Lil g said not even 158.... Just goes to show u who really isnt trying to make the fight

How about Canelo just moving up to 160? Otherwise, he's the one who's not trying to make the fight.

I can't believe what I'm reading on here.

It's sickening.

**** what Floyd says.

No, GG should not have to drop to 155 to fight FOR THE LINEAL MW TITLE.

**** all of the "A side vs B side ****"

Anyone who advocates what Oscar, Canelo and the WBC are doing, are absolute morons.

Isn't boxing bad enough already, with 4 Org's, 17 weight classes, including Super and Silver champs etc?

Titles should not be fought at a CW.

Why should GG drop to 155, when Canelo can weigh 172 come fight night?!

It's a disgrace.

Some fans are absolutely ******!

As for Floyd fighting Oscar, how is that the same? Different circumstances altogether.

It's hardly surprising that Floyd advocates it anyway, after all the **** he's pulled in his career.

Bring back 15 round fights, same day weigh-ins, less divisions, with less Org's, and let's see boxing great again.

[robertzimmerman]

Agree with it 100%

Absolutely sickening.

[robertzimmerman]

If you believe you can win. YEP. Floyd made every concession to ODLH.

Dear me!

How is that the same as asking GG to drop weight to fight for the lineal MW belt?

Poor Canelo, MW is too big for him, yet he's happy to wear the lineal strap and he weighs in as a LHW on fight night.

He's making a mockery of the sport.

Floyd moving up to JMW from WW and making concessions was not the same at all.

So GGG thinks hes special

• Pacquaio jumped up 2 weight classes for his shot at greatness against Oscar
• Mayweather jumped 1 weight class & bowed to ODH demand for his shot at greatness
• Canelo Went Down in Weight for his shot at greatness against Mayweather
• Ward Jumped up 1 Weight Class to Excell his claim for P4P Surpremecy against Kovalev

All these fighters were willing to take the risk necessary to claim and take the Glory they want, but GGG is not willing to do it. Go Home Coward YOU SCARED!

What an absolutely ******ed post.

[robertzimmerman]

Don't forget about Bernard Hopkins, the guy that some people on that website had the audacity to compare GGG to, he moved down from 160 to 156 to fight Dela Hoya then he jumped up 2 weight classes to fight Tarver at 175 at the age of 40, or Duran who moved up from 135 to 147 to fight Ray Leonard then to 154 to fight Tommy Hearns then to 160 to fight Hagler. Roy Jones moved up from 54 to heavyweight, Ward moved up and will fight Kovalev. Moving up in weight to chase greatness is not a new thing, a lot of greats did it and GGG is not willing to take that risk as of right now, which puts him at a level that siginficantly below the atg level and he seems to be ok with that.

What are you talking about?

Almost everyone of your examples has a fighter moving up to chase greatness.

Yet you're criticising GG for not moving DOWN to fight for the lineal belt?

You should be using your examples to criticise Canelo for not moving up, even though he weighs in as a LHW on fight night.

Canelo has moved into GG's pond, it's not the other way around.

[robertzimmerman]

I agree with Floyd. Taino Canelo calls the shots. Mr. 97k PPV Buys doesn't even deserve a shot with Canelo. When Mr. 97k PPV Buys reaches 2.1 PPV buys, then he can talk. He should stIck to fighting bums. Go fight Cotto.

You idiot!

This is what's killing boxing.

He doesn't deserve a shot?

He's the mandatory for the lineal title.

**** me!

This forum is full of absolute morons.

[robertzimmerman]

You're proving his point in your second paragraph. Canelo has a larger fan base, as you wrote. He's done bigger PPV's, bigger crowds and is therefore the A-side.

GGG doesn't have to do anything he doesn't feel obligated to. He can wait for Canelo to settle into mw until he's good and ready for the fight. But as it stands, he's going to have to make some sacrifices in order to make a big fight and right now he and his team appear content to take on subpar opp while hoping that big fight falls in their laps on their terms. Not likely, although I agree that this fight can be made at a reasonable 157.

Why should it be made at 157?

It's only going to encourage the same behaviour from other fighters.

It stinks.

It shouldn't even be up for discussion.

If MW is too big for Canelo, he should have stayed at JMW.

Encourage the behavior that's been going on for at least 30 years already? Happy hour specials musta got you going.

Wasn't Floyd against CW's? What was it that he said to Cotto when he was talking about Pac vs Cotto? Or was it more bull**** he was spewing?
