Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Around Floyd's Weight, He Beats Down Golovkin!

Did you say 155 ?

Yes, for little guys like Pac and JMM and khan. For light heavyweights like Nelo and massive looking guys like Floyd it would be better to fight at 160.
But Floyd is a special case im sure GGG would go to 155 for Floyd, Floyd is easily spooked.
GGG has to make Floyd believe he can keep the zero and Floyd wont get hurt. Floyd wont get hurt at 160, he can take a dive at any point. But take your bumps like BH did against Kovalev.

These *****s can't stop using GGG's name to get some attention. Shake my head.

GGG is the present and the future of the sport.

Floyd = womenbeater and has been, his family = crackheads.

Despite being admittedly slightly punch drunk, Floyd Sr is still sharp as a tack. His intellect and wit are still on point, hence his ability to talk trash with the best of them. His interviews are also seriously interesting.

I guess ****ing with young women keeps an old mind fresh, lol.

Lmao at '****ing with young women keeps an old mind fresh'

Lol, but why am I not surprised snr is still into young broads. Guy is young at heart I guess.

Floyd is not a puncher at 140-152, let alone any other weight. GGG beats down the toughest at 160, so why would floyd being 160 make any difference? he would just be slower, his technique, defense and speed at being the lighter guy is what makes it so intriguing.

I think you misunderstood. I think what snr meant was that if Floyd jnr was a NATURAL middleweight than he would whoop GGG easy.

Which is one hundred percent true. It would be one of Floyd's easier fights just like all the other elites he made to look amateur. And he wouldn't be slower or less agile, just look at Roy Jones for example.

Floyd is the same type of fighter, so I'm pretty sure he would be just as fast and elusive as he is now.

If he were to try and blow himself up to middleweight however, then yes he would be slower and less agile, and his stamina would suffer. However if he was born like that, then no, it would be Mayvinci all the way.

...

Stay away from 160 is the best advice he gave his son.

... Why stay away from 160? The guy fought nobody and is a hype job, therefore no danger for Floyd.

I like how you said 'massive LOOKING' guys like Floyd. Respect your honesty.

Coz we know the facts are that Floyd weighs exactly the same as Marquez and Pacquiao. Floyd averages 149lbs for his welterweight bouts, and he was even 148lbs for Maidana 2.

Marquez was 148 pounds when he fought Floyd and Pac was 152lbs when he fought Floyd. Floyd was 149lbs according to NSAC records when he fought Pac. Floyd's highest recorded weight was in 2012 in a junior middeweight bout against Cotto when he weighed in at 151lbs.

He was 150lbs against Canelo at junior middleweight.

So like I said, I like how you said massive LOOKING.

We both know though that the scales are far move reliable than yours or anyone elses eyes.

Ps. I agree Floyd sometimes looks way bigger than the scales say, mostly because muscle definition can have that effect as Floyd looks like a bionic weapon at times. My little brother is the same, my eyes pop out of my head everytime we step on the scales after a workout. He weighs FAR less than he looks. There are skinny guys I know who have never stepped foot in the gym and yet when I ask them their weight it is more than my brother by a huge margin sometimes. I'm guessing it has something to do with bone density or something.

My bro shares other qualities like Floyd, he is very fast and very agile too. He could have easily persued a career in gymnastics if the opportunity was there and he used to be the captain of the athletics team in his school and the regional team. Did 100m and 200m dash and he also did triple jump.

So I'm guessing there is something with these type of guys that makes them look huge but they somehow still have a very low weight/centre of gravity. Didn't do medicine or anything related to that field but my guess is that it has to have something to do with bone density or something along those lines.

Like when Floyd faced Oscar Dela Hoya he said that he was 148lbs that day. I was like WTF! Coz the muscles man damn and he quite tall too, I mean not the tallest welterweight of course but he aint short compared to his peers either. However, time and time again he has stepped on the scales and the scales have shown him to be a very light guy.

He looks bigger though I agree, and I think that's why people always think he's in the 160s or something, maybe they thinking, if Canelo, Baldomir, Maidana, Cotto, Shaun Porter, etc etc are in the 160s, surely Floyd gotta be there too. But it aint so, even the 30 day weigh in has him at 150 flat and sometimes even lower.

[nycsmooth]

Most people who only read, but never go 2 bouts or c fighters, need realize FM walks around at 152/'54...GGG needs 2 come way down...he'd do 2 GGG what he did 2 alvarez, expose him, just, now, a bit late w/ age & time away...that , even he can't recoop...

[ultravividscene]

So essentially what Papa May is saying is that if Triple G went up 8 pounds and beat Ward then Jr. would fight him. However Jr. 'aint no middleweight' so the fight would have to take place 14 pounds lower than GGG now weighs. Then Jr. would be up to fight and give his 'ass a good whooping'... genius

LOL, right. Mayweather needs GGG to get attention.

That fool retired, and he's still the most talked about guy in the sport.

[Shadoww702]

Is GGG still fighting that tomato can??? Because I can't find ANY articles about that fight??? I guess probably because no one cares about it. Gggbfighitn the #13th best MW. Too bad it's not on PPV!!!
