Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I'm Not Ducking Golovkin, When Will He Move Up?

FMJr fought an equally big guy in De La Hoya -- at 154...

Do you actually think that Oscar De La Hoya and Golovkin were the same size?

What I'm reading in that is, if GGG jumps up to 168+ to fight Ward and wins, then Floyd will offer to fight him next at 154/5.
Have him bulk up to a higher weight than he's fought at before , drain down to lower than he's been fighting at before; it's clear what that would do to his body.
What's clear is GGG creates more than enough buzz for a retired Floyd to be name dropping him.

What I'm hearing is you want Floyd, a 40 year old retired man, to come back move up two weight divisions and fight a MW in hopes of him being beaten when said MW brings no money and not even very much legacy considering he's beat no one. Tell me, why would anyone fight GGG at 160 for less money than Danny Garcia at 147?

Maybe when the name buzz translates to PPV sales Floyd will give GGG a fight.

People go to any lengths on this board.

I don't think... Check their body measurements... plus De La Hoya definitely has a longer reach.

Ggg v canelo. Thats what the people want. Not some boxing v mma novelty. Ward needs to fight the krusher. Mayweather is deflecting

[Nightfall]

he left out khan. he definitely jumped up in weight. alvared needs to do the same. and floyd is on point a lil G. and remember it is lil G that called out for a mayweather fight. (TMT)

He was in his prime and de la hoya is a multi division champ don't compare him with gennady golovkin

Oscar De La Hoya started his career at 130 lbs, the single time he went up to 160 lbs he was a fat, bloated mess.

Golovkin has been fighting consistently at 160 lbs for over a decade.

None of those guys were calling out a 40 year old, 20 year pro that's 2 weight divisions below them, that has also been through 5 weight divisions already.

None of those guys said "164 or no fight" either. Those guys also earned their money fights by fighting guys that had pulses too.

Plays been taken away from mayweather and it seems he's salty about it......golovkin don't have to move up till he's undisputed champion then he will probably move up to super middleweight , let's be fair September mexican weekend which fight would you rather pay for and watch canelo vs golovkin ppv ? or mayweather vs garcia ppv ? Mayweather loses that battle ..lol..he should just grow up and stay retired

Golovkin will not move up once he's undisputed champion and you can take that to the bank!

He knows if he did, he'd be within striking distance of guys like Kova and Ward and we all know he don't want them problems.
