Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. Admits: Golovkin is Too Big, Strong For My Son!

That is why they put weight divisions in place in the first place; To prevent uneven mismatches, when certain fighters have far more physical ability than their physically lesser opponents. Of course, Golovkin is naturally stronger and heavier than Floyd. This would put Mayweather at a huge physical disadvantage; Especially in light of the fact, the absence of offensive firepower, to seriously threaten Gennady because Money May is not a huge puncher and has a very low work rate.

Interesting double standard an hypocrisy from Floyd fans here.
When Floyd fought Juan Manuel Marquez, Marquez was really a super-bantamweight with only one year fighting as lightweight (135 pounds).
Yet for that fight, Floyd made JMM, who was HARDLY a 135-pounder, go up to a 144-pound catch weight. And in the weigh-in, Floyd had the nerve of coming in weighing 146 pounds and simply paying a fine, vs. 142 pounds of a flabby, out of shape and puffed-up Marquez who was really hardly a lightweight and had to fight a natural welterweight in top shape.

On fight night Floyd looked huge and ripped vs. Marquez. Floyd was easily 10 pounds heavier, way more muscular and still, he couldn't even knock out such extremely smaller, flabby and out of shape opponent. And BTW Floyd took bunches of beautiful but weak JMM combinations to both his face and body, actually more combinations than he has taken from anybody including Pacquiao, that of course the sold-out judges never credited to JMM, same as Compubox which is a joke as well.

Fair is fair, JMM had to fight an opponent who was at least two divisions bigger than him and in way better shape than him. Yet JMM never backed down. If Floyd is supposed to be so good, he would fight GGG at 154 or 155. After all, he did fight a green, inexperienced and drained Canelo at 152, didn't he? And worse off, DIDN'T HE FIGHT DE LA HOYA AND COTTO AT 154, previous to fighting Canelo???

The Mayweathers are TERRIFIED of GGG. They have always been. They chose to fight a drained and inexperienced Canelo instead and it did pay off. Today, if Floyd fought Canelo at 154 or 155, he would get KO'd I'm sure. And if he fought GGG he would get murdered, not only KO'd. Floyd will never ever be at the level of Leonard, Duran, Hagler, Hearns. Those guys were willing to fight anyone within two divisions of their comfortable weight. Hollyfield and Tyson both fought guys 30+ pounds heavier than them several times and yet, they showed no fear.

Mayweather Sr. has just admitted GGG is a better boxer than his son, using "size" as an excuse, to his convenience, a thing that he never used when his son fought JMM. What if the fight had happened at lightweight instead of welterweight at that meeting?

Beating them wasnt unthinkable. He was the favourite to beat them and did just that.

He beat everybody! He was in the game for 19 years, and no one could beat him! I guess it's just luck!

Mayweather Sr. Admits: Golovkin is Too Big, Strong For My Son!

Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and trainer of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs), has no trouble admitting that IBF/IBO/WBC/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs) would be too big and too strong for his son.

Didn't FMJr say that GGG is "easy work" for him?

lol. Im not questioning his greatness. But other greats beat opponents no one thought they could beat.
Floyd said GGG would be easy work. It would of been nice for once for Floyd to take on a challenge he wasnt expected to win.
Thats all im saying.
There was no reason why Floyd couldnt fight GGG. He chose not to because of the risk at that stage in his career. I dont blame him, but it would of been a great prospect.

He didn't beat Castillo in the first fight and Pacquiao.

Well I guess you're no fan of GGG for the same reasons!

[Metho_4u]

Then why is Ward a light heavyweight now?



You've been doing nothing but trolling this whole time so you might as well just shut up because you ain't even worth talking to anyway.

Then why are you talking to me? ******.

Not to mention many p4p fighters, future HOFers. GayLoveKin has yet to fight 1 p4p fighter, let alone a HOF fighter.

Floyd's skill was on a different level to almost every other fighter in the sport. So stepping up to fight a big strong power puncher, but with a lot less ring IQ, experience and speed makes sense to me.
GGG stepping up to fight Ward is almost the opposite. Ward has every advantage other than power. But yea, id like to see GGG step up when he fights Canelo. A fight that could be quite competitive.
