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

[fighter1234]

GGG is criminally overrated on here
Floyd takes him to school at any weight. He is in a different class entirely.

Nope, floyd wanted nothing to do with GGG even at 154. he wouldn't have a hope in hell at 160. But of course his fans will still say he could beat him. At 154 it would be an interesting fight at 160 floyd gets obliterated and even his fans secretly know as much.

At 160 Floyd has next to no chance against GGG. I believe Floyd in his prime would certainly be competitive with GGG but ultimately GGG would over power him and may even stop him. With that said, I think Floyd would certainly have a chance in that fight if it was fought at a catchweight. If Floyd could get GGG to drain himself to 154 or even as low as 152, like the Canelo fight, GGG would be severely drained and weakened.

At 160 GGG beats Floyd but at 154 or even 152 I'm not so sure.

Well said. In the unlikely event that Floyd would even get in the ring wth GGG it would have to be under Mayweather conditions. Floyd is not comfortable with GGG style. We saw a glimpse of that with Maidana. Huge difference between the abilities of GGG over Maidana. One can never really bet against Mayweather due to his talent and ring IQ. Still at 160 GGG would give him fits but it's just a fantasy matchup. Floyd would never agree to it. Unfortunate because making GGG is 50th win would be an epic event for him and boxing.

Floyd would only lose if he went up a weight class too far.

160 is definitely too far. It would look silly. And GGG would smash him to pieces.

No way should Floyd fight him anyway. Those sort of fights aren't good for boxing imo.

He tried to use gloves with no padding at first and these were NOT approved by the commission.

Never head about that Pacquiao glove situation, but still he was allowed to wear the gloves he wanted.

You never heard about the Pacquiao gloves situation because you also don't know **** about the real story behind Maidana gloves. They were Everlast MX gloves. It was well covered. Mayweather just didn't want Maidana to use punchers gloves, PERIOD. I won't lose more time on you. Maidana did not cheat.

[hugh grant]

Floyd would be underdog and because he didnt take the challenge, history assumes GGG stops FLoyd like he did Brook, whilst not looking particularly good while doing it. Floyd might land upercuts and stuff on GGG like Brook did. People will say Floyd made GGG look clumsy at times.
But the fight ends with GGGs hand raised in victory. Brook would beat Floyd as well at 160 and possibly at 154

It would still be hard for Mayweather to beat that version that we saw on saturday night, i could see Mayweather movements troubling GGG definitely, the only problem is GGG would be troubled with the right hand or jab coming at him from Mayweather, But if the fight happens at 154 and we see the same GGG that we saw last night then Mayweather definitely wins IMHO.

If Mayweather was just a bit bigger, he gives GGG fits when the fight is in the centre of the ring. Lots of the tactics Brook was using, Mayweather uses but to a much higher level. He certainly wont be hit with clean jabs as easily as Brook was

Big problem for Floyd, and its a problem matching him with any great pressure fighter, is that he goes to the ropes too easily. Especially against guys who outweigh him.

Golovkin has a field day on the ropes. Floyds defence is excellent, but those punches are hurting whether they are landed on gloves, shoulders or anything really.

[Tom Cruise]

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
