I guess Hagler isn't cut from the same clothe either! Amazing how some of you guys come up with these excuses. Hagler fought at MW his WHOLE career. He's a legend/HOF. He had a two former WW who moved up and fought him. SRL and Hitman. Why can't Floyd? Floyd did say it would be easy work. GGG said hell move down to 154 to fight Floyd. Ward made Dawson come down to 68, why not meet GGG at 64? Floyd made Canelo come down to 52. I'm just stating FACTS.

due ggg gets in the ring at 175. the only way this would be a fair fight is if there was a weight in on fight night or a no rehydration clause. otherwise, ggg would have a very unfair advantage. there is a valid reason for wt classes. and in haglers case, there were ample good opponents for hagler to face. its just not the same today. and if its good for floyd to jump up to a class he NEVER fought at, why can't ggg jump up to face real competition? you cannot make a valid case for ggg not facing fighters at 168 if you think its ok for floyd to jump up to 160.

GGG facing his biggest challenge at 34 years old in a weight class he's fought his whole career. What does that tell you about his career?



Based on what? The $4 mil gate against Jacobs? Floyd vs. Berto doubled that. The 150k PPV's? Floyd's lowest selling PPV was double that. How are you coming up with $100 mil?

you tell em brother!!!

wasnt the Felix Sturm fight at MW??? Oscar got a big-time gift in that one.

felix definitely beat oscar. that was the pre b-hop fight. they gave oscar that win so the b-hop fight could go on. i actually felt bad for felix cause he got robbed.

im actually talking about floyd vs canelo. floyd was 151 vs canelo at 174 (on fight night). floyd stays in shape so he is nowhere near 165 even if he were he would drop wt when he gets into fighting shape. he made 32 million fighting berto. ggg has never earned that much. thats why everyone wants floyd to return to the ring. he makes a lot of money for everyone. boxing suffered greatly when he retired. lil g is the one that needs to take some risk. he wants the big payday, then he has to stop fighting the likes of willie monroe and rubio and other soup cans.

If 174 Canelo is OK what's wrong with with a 170 (and probably less if he has to make 154) GGG? Why are you even talking about Monroe and Rubio when he's already fought Brook & Jacobs and as you know will fight and beat Canelo next...which will bring his star power to the next level? And Mayweather looks heavier now...there was a thread about it a couple of months ago.

hagler has nothing to do with GGGs thin ass resume

Hagler actually fought for his titles...

also fought and beat hall of famers, and the top contenders of his day

GGG has a decade in the game and has only fought 2 top middleweights.
