Pacquiao had a hard time hitting Floyd.
Golovkin doesn't have...
1) half the speed of Pacquiao nor...
2) half of the offensive skills of Pacquiao nor...
3) half of the stamina of Pacquiao to constantly attack.
He hits harder than Pacquiao and is bigger, but what does it matter if he wouldn't be able to hit Floyd?
Floyd got a longer reach than Golovkin and is much faster than him. Canelo is about the same size as Golovkin, just heavier, and their skill levels aren't world aparts. Yet Canelo was unable to even lay his hands on Floyd. How would Golovkin be able to do it?
Honestly, Floyd would beat Golovkin easily. His defense is probably the best ever seen in boxing and it wouldn't be pierced simply by a weight and power advantage if the opponent doesn't have the neccessary skill level to use the advantage.
I think Floyd should beat Golovkin, which he would easily do due to his stylistical advantage. In doing that, he would have established himself as the undisputable king of 160lbs and below, with no equal.
However, 168lbs would be too much for Floyd. Guys like James DeGale and Badou Jack are bigger and faster than Golovkin and even while Golovkin is an arguable more dangerous fighter than them, Mayweather wouldn't have the same stylistical advantage against them.
