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

I agree. I just object to ggg needing all the middleweight belts to make the ward fight bigger. It sounds like an excuse to me.

Doe, ducking is non existent with fighters on different divisions. YDKSAB. No such ducking when the other guy, Ward, wasn't even interested in the fight.

In 1991, when 18 years old, Oscar was U.S. champion at Lightweight (132lb)...
In 2000, when 18 years old, Golovkin was Gold Medalist at the World Junior Championships in Budapest at Light Welterweight (141lb).

Ok so you're telling me that at age 18 Golovkin was 10 lbs heavier than Oscar De La Hoya when he was 18. Do you think this supports your argument?

Oscar De La Hoya fought at the full Middleweight limit ONE time and that ONE time he looked bloated and out of his element.

Golovkin is a solid, strong MW who's fought there consistently for over a decade and often unofficially weighs in at 170 lbs

How ******ed does one have to be to consider these two men the same size?

Why Floyd fans are mad ? was that a GGG interview or a Floyd one ? he is drop naming like crazy and giving us all kinds of explenations ? just say "im retired" and be done with it , the guy is going to the WWE soon or some sort of money grab vs McG , he is done with boxing for now.
Does GGG wants Floyd fight ? sure like anyone in the world (boxing or not) , you are set for life after that , you will be crazy not to want one , but its Floyd talking about how he will do Easy work out of GGG so ppl are talking back at him

No, ward wasn't interested in fighting at a catch, just like ggg isn't when it comes to Canelo.

Mayweather is smaller than all the fighters you just mentioned and he makes a valid point

And Hank Armstrong was just as small. I hear your point though about GGG taking some risk. Hagler didn't have to move up because back then it was different fighters were on some who's the baddest dude north of my weight class let me at em type isn... So they came to him. GGG is waiting for a overrated fake mw to feast upon. Business why I understand. But it's obviously they are giving him the run-around. So how about he dare to be great and head to 68 then gradually to 75. Nard Roy Calzaghe all did it.

I think most of u missed floyds point.

All great fighters had to make the sacrifice so that they could be great. Ggg is asking others to make the sacrifice so that he could be great.

Floyd has no plan on fighting Ggg after he fights ward....that's obsurd for many reasons...he's simply saying u must first makes this sacrifice before calling out those who already have.

I agree and disagree. I think Floyd would absolutely fight him, if he moved up and beat ward.
The thing is Floyd knows he wouldn't have to, because ggg won't move up, and he wouldn't beat ward if he did.

The more Mayweather talks, the less I want to see him "fight" anyone...ever again.

Yeah I'm sure he'll take this into consideration when making his decision. You bloggers are so full of it lol

The Mexican and the Kazakhstani are in the same division.
