      Impossible, Mayweather never ducked Pacquiao, Pacquiao ducked testing/Mayweather.

        and after ward agreed???

        Golovkin's Coach: Andre Ward Must Go to 164 or No Fight
        Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin, has made it absolutely clear that he's not going to budge from his position that a potential fight with Andre Ward will only happen if Ward - the recognized champion at super middleweight - is wiling to meet them halfway at a catch-weight of 164-pounds. Golovkin and his team received more than their fair share of heat in recent days, after placing a catch-weight demand on a potential fight with Ward. The reason for the heat, is because Golovkin was willing to fight both Carl Froch and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the full super middleweight limit.


        Gotta love that flawless goal post move by abel sanchez...lol...

            If ggg could make 154 comfortably, he would absolutely be favorite over this version of mayweather. You guys gotta let him go...his glory days are over. Be real

              How would anyone know that? That's part of the reason why Mayweather would be favourite.

                So you're saying mayweather would be favorite because ggg might struggle making weight? How would anyone know if he would until the fight was signed and they started camp? The odds don't come out when posters on bs start talking about a fight.

                  I said part of the reason, the other part being Mayweather being an ATG fighter that has beaten bigger guys at 154 before and Lil G hasn't fought one truly world class fighter.

                  Mayweathers a proven elite fighter and at 154, Lil G isn't. Which is why he'd be the favourite.

                    That's mostly true...but i think your view of what's world class needs to expand a bit. By reserving that term for the absolute elite of the elite diminishes many of mayweathers quality wins too. If we weren't talking about a 40yr old shakey legged mayweather who looked noticeably diminished in his last 3 fights, he would probably be favorite. You go ahead and put your $$$ on him tho.

                      So Triple G would be favored against mayweather??? I agree...that's why Triple G wants the fight...why not fight the next biggest cash cow at a pound lower?...Oh I see...LMAO...
