Mayweather was handed a chance against Hernandez for the 130 lineal title

[therealpugilist]

I see people here talking nonsense about Golovkin being handled titles.

Using that logic, I want to know what did Floyd Mayweather jr do to get a chance for the lineal 130 lb title against Hernandez. At that point Floyd had beaten all bums with no record. He was 17-0 and ALL were bums. But real bums. Look at their records. And don't talk to me about him looking special in fights cuz so does GGG. And don't talk to me about having a great amateur career with a medal at the olympics cuz do so did GGG.

And then some of you ****** Mayweather fans have the balls to say that Floyd wasn't handled anything... that he had a rough path. Then what about GGG? Tell me another joke please you ignorant fools!

he was never handed belts like your hero... end thread/


floyd won all his belts in the ring, something GGG knows very little about lol

[Kigali]

In 2013 he said yes to 168. In 2015/2016 he was not interested in Ward.

GGG turned down a fight with Sergio Mora on HBO...to fight Adama off TV...

In 2013 he said yes to 168. In 2015/2016 he was not interested in Ward.

Is that why he tried to get the fight at 164 and then said Ward is too much? If he wasn't interested he would had simply said not interested over asking for a catchweight.

You should be looking to get another new persona cause you're getting buried in this thread, not 6 but 12 feet under.

He said anyone from 154 to 168 and when offered a shot at the BEST fighter at 168 he turned it down. Comical.

Hernandez was a legitimate champion though and Floyd still had to beat him, which he did. Compared to today the way guys like A Joshua end up with titles, Floyd definitely earned his first title. The dude is a real piece of crap, but you can't take that away from him. He earned that title and the fact that he won it fair and square against a real champion means he deserved to be there.

you know you failed when Lou Cipher gives Floyd credit

And he said yes to HBO back in 2013. Andre Ward said he couldn't fight because of shoulder and promoter issues. Then Ward wanted to fight him when he was about to unify 160, three years ago.

And in terms of weight that was like Mayweather fighting at 130 and being handed a chance to fight the 140 champion right away. Not the same scenario.

True but you mean like 135. And he damn sure would have taken it

[Lou Cipher]

Yes, and so was.. Martinez, for example. And GGG would have beaten him too. The problem is that he was never given a chance, which Floyd did.

GGG would/will beat all theae guys going all the way back to prime Hopkins. Different era and business model in Boxing these days so the only way hes gonna outdo Floyd os by keeping his record unbeaten legitimately because Floyd has 2 undisputable losses and there are legit arguments for a total of 4 losses.

No because 8 pounds aren't 5 pounds. And Floyd at 135 was still taller and had more reach than most people there. He wasn't outsized. In fact he had to move up to 135 later.

Lou Cipher denies no fighter the credit they earn and deserve.

[Robbie Barrett]

You keep trying to compare Golovkin to Mayweather and you fail everytime. You can't compare an hypejob to greatness.
