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

[rasdun]

So, If GGG moves up 15 lbs and beats Ward, he will have the opportunity to then drop almost 30 lbs to fight Mayweather - Great! I think this will happen!

[rasdun]

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.

Im not saying Floyd wouldn't win, but when pressure fighters like Castillo and Maidana gave Mayweather his toughest fights, it stands to reason that, even if they were similar in size GGG's style would cause some problems for Mayweather.

Also, it's a silly argument - bc to say that Floyd would be just as fast if he was a natural middle, well...there's no way to know that. For the most part, The fastest welterweights are faster than the faster middleweights - it's pure physics

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.

Floyd doesn't allow the same day fight weight to be recorded though - not sure why that is

"He ain't fighting nobody that damn big"

Not sure why there is so much debate going on in here...those words say it all. Fight made no sense when it was first brought up last year and as I said "there is such a thing as wayyyy too much man for even the best of fighters". Floyd is an amazingly skilled boxer but he is not superman and people need to stop pretending like he is. Let that man enjoy his memories and his retirement.

[Eastcoast]

I'll forever remember Floyd choosing to fight Baldomir over Margarito.

Give me the names of the welterweights who were faster than Roy Jones when Roy Jones was a middleweight?

GGG fights nothing like Castillo or Maidana, who also in turn fight nothing alike.

[twosweethooks]

Chickenweather is just a chicken!! He has never fought a prime elite at his best in the past 10 years!! There is no way he will fight GGG hahahaha

He would be made to look silly and exposed because when he gets cut off and put on the ropes he goes down and comes to his end with no one to help him!!! The towel will come into the ring and he will look like AB leaving the ring after Maidana beat his ass

HahahahahHah

[twosweethooks]

Mayweather would K.O. that Hungarian caveman coward. Little G ain't s**t but a hypocritical beggar desperate for a pay day. Little G and all of his fans are the scum of the earth.

Hahahahahah

Maybe not, but like the guy says, all pressure fighters. Floyd already struggled bad vs 2 much smaller, much inferior ones.
