Could mayweather beat that version of GGG we saw last night?

[Ray*]

A bigger version of Pacquiao beats GGG easier than a bigger version of Mayweather for me.

I can just see him blitzing Golovkin with combo's and turning him constantly

As it is, both are way too small

Agreed, whilst watching on saturday i was thinking about a prime Pac in his southpaw stances but bigger.

Just as easily as when he defeated Canelo, yes.

lol No. Golovkin is more destructive than Canelo, and he wouldn't stand there like an idiot and try to outbox a master boxer like Canelita did. He would go all in and try to **** Mayweather up.

No. Floyd is too small and GGG would eventually be a more aggressive version of what Maidana and Castillo was. He'd hurt/stun Floyd every other round or knock him out late. Power, size, and strength. I also think people underestimate what GGG sets his opponents up for. Those body punches are no joke.

Judging GGG from this current fight is going to give future opponents a rude awakening.

you have lost your dam* mind. Floyd thorws one punch like every 30 seconds and can't punch hard enough to keep Maidana off. How is he going to keep a guy who is way bigger than Maidana and more skilled . Get ga grip you don't know crap about boxing. Mayweather got a lot of decisions by defense , but against a guy like GGG he wouldn't be able to hold him off. Pot shotting doesn't beat huge guys like that. If Brook couldn't hurt GGG , what makes you think a guy who started at 130 could. ?

You act like Brook made GGG swing air all night. Yeah just ignore the fact that Brook was absolutely spent trying to fend off GGG for 4 rounds. Just ignore how he had to throw mean combinations to halt GGG's forward momentum. Floyd has brittle hands, doesn't hit hard enough and doesn't throw combinations.

Floyd can duck and run but at some point he will have to throw to score. GGG would just walk him down and batter him. It wouldn't be a boxing match because GGG wouldn't let it and Floyd would be too small to do something about it.

I totally disagree with you. FMJ is not a dumb boxer. He didn't get to where he did as a boxer by fighting his opponent's type of fight especially as he got older. Moving all night makes you tired but swinging and missing all night zaps your energy twice as fast. As long as Fmj stays off the ropes and does not allow GGG to set his feet, there's no way for GGG to load up and get off his power shots. Again, as long as FMJ keeps GGG moving and missing, FMJ is in control and boxing takes over , slugging is nulified. GGG can walk through FMJ's shots and have no respect for his punches but if FMJ is not there to be hit in return, where does that leave GGG? Tired and gassed. FMJ would never try to stand in front of GGG and trade shots. FMJ does not care how his performance is received by the crowd he only cares to get the win. Brittle hands or not, FMJ is not going to allow GGG to get off on him, but he will pop GGG just enough to throw him off his rhythm.
We can argue opinions forever on this but this fight is never going to happen.
Feel free to respond but I won't be after this.

All that really matters is if you make them the same size, Mayweather would counter GGG to death, both in their prime. If different size, and in this day, the advantage Mayweather would have is he could see GGG's punches coming and if he used an air-tight defense and foot movement, it is possible. But the size and power could be too much and it is not even right to ask or expect a 39 year old Mayweather to face him.

Pretty much this in a nutshell.
