Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Would've Beat Golovkin, They Would Still Complain

Such negative outlook by Floyd fans. If Floyd could beat GGG he would fight him. Beating GGG is a big deal. Floyd would love to beat GGG and hacpve a win over him. Floyd saying he wouldn't get credit is an excuse.

Nobody is saying he should try to get a 160 title, but ifhe thought he could, he would, simple as.

No, Floyd saying he wouldn't get the credit from haters is a FACT!!! He has PROOF!! They said the same thing about a number of his opponents before he faced them and then they came up with excuses when he won. I don't have a problem with a former junior lightweight at 39 years of age not wanting to fight a natural middleweight!

Not all great fighters have to fight in 5-6 divisions to be, or to claim to be the best. He has already been the best.

Well sure he doesn't need to fight GGG To claim to be the best but if he actually decided to face GGG, he can actually say it and it will have more validity.

And the thread is about Floyd saying he can beat GGG. Of course the natural question is why he didn't go through with it, given how it was actually possible to make the fight. If you think about it, there's honestly little logic in saying GGG would've been easy work but actually not fight him when the fight could have been easily made on Floyd's terms.

Floyd fans keep trying to pummel you with one sided stories!!!
At the time people said the cw was ridiculous, but Floyd went ahead with it anyway. People who knew about boxing felt the Floyd fight might be a little too soon for nelo citing he never fought or had any real convincing wins against anyone decent. He shouldn't have waited for jmm to ko PAC but you knew that.

Historians won't criticise Floyd for beating GGG. Floyd haters might, but do you or Floyd take them seriously? Look at it this way, Floyd is considered one of the best of this era, maybe the best. So obviously someone is gibing him credit for his body of work. GGG would add to his body oif work, but you already knew that

Whether Floyd fights him or not, Floyd is underdog against GGG, so that's as good as a loss already, unless Floyd takes a risk and tries proving otherwise. If Floyd dont fight him people will assume he didn't think he could beat him or was too scared which is a common theme with Floyd.

But if Floyd beats him, he can then shout that we shouldn't dare make him underdog until he is 50 years old like Ali said when he beat foreman

lol..floyd is retired and doesnt have to do **** else period,,,GGG us the one who needs to prove himself

I don't agree with Floyd at all here. Had he beaten GGG he would have gotten major props. He got major props for taking Canelo to school. Those 2 pounds didn't have anything to do with the outcome. He put on a great display. Most people watching the fight had no idea about the catchweight any way.
Floyd never wanted that fight period.

I don't think people realize that Floyd is retired and is not coming back. This fight is a moot point. And Floyd simply analyzing how people would respond if he had fought GGG. Not worth wasting anymore time on a subject that is dead.

This isn't trying to get Floyd out of retirement to fight GGG. This is me criticizing him for not fighting GGG when Floyd was still active. I highly doubt he just suddenly came to the conclusion he would beat GGG after he retired, meaning if he thought he could beat GGG as an active fighter and that fight was readily available on his terms, it's easily more than fair to criticize him.

I don't see why Floyd should fight this guy...... like who is he?

[Trinidad_Fan]

Nothing worse than a bored, retired fighter shooting off his mouth.
STFU, Floyd.

See how easy that was ?
