If Mayweather should move up 2 weight classes to fight GGG why can't GGG do the same and fight Ward?
mayweather v golovkin next?

Floyd has been retired 2 years and is 40. Just because he's fighting McGregor doesn't mean he isn't still retired.
The GGG fight barely made much sense even when Floyd wasn't retired. The size difference isn't even close. Floyd ain't Kell Brook who should be at 154 anyway, Floyd started at 130. Floyd going up to 160 to fight GGG is more ridiculous than Khan fighting Canelo at 155. Floyd can't even get up to 154 when he fights at 154.
Their size difference v GGG would be too far beyond the point were size beats skill, just due to the style and size. I'd still give Floyd a good chance at beating Canelo though, i don't think Canelo's style is physically as imposing.
I also don't think there's enough money in either fight to get him back. Neither fight would do bad business but not even close to Floyd v Conor.Last edited by TheBigLug; 07-14-2017, 05:56 PM.Comment

Floyd said this would be his last fight. I actually believe him this time. If he does fight again I want it to be against the Canelo/ggg fight.Comment

Idk about GGG, GGG isn't sellable, but Canelo is a sellable cat so if he beats GGG, as I expect, it wouldn't be the craziest thing to think they could line something up for May 2018. Assuming good Canelo vs GGG numbers, 1.5M+, & record breaking Floyd vs Conor numbers, 4.7M+.
Despite what he's saying now I could see him taste fate once again if there was another 9 digit payday to be had in a Canelo II fight. Hell I'm legit not 100% thinking he wouldn't fight in the cage, with some altered rules, vs Conor. And if Floyd didn't have have bad hands that those lil gloves would be guaranteed to f#ck up I'd be more then 5%+ thinking that could happen lol. Retired fighters get lured back into the game so easy & with the money Floyd has showed he can still likely make, based on how crazy big these pressers have been, after 2 years out of the game pushing his luck to the point of eventually selling his 0 wouldn't be THAT crazy an expectation.Comment

No way can I see that fight happening.
Floyd isn't gonna move up yet another weight class to fight someone who isn't gonna get him a $100m+ payday.Comment

What makes you think that Mayweather would even entertain the idea of fighting Golovkin??? Floyd's last two opponents have been "easy pickings", "cherry picks"....he's not looking to get KO'd in his last fight. No way will he ever fight Golovkin unless Gennady do.es a catch weight of at most 152....Even then I doubt very much that Mayweather wants that kind of workIf they both win, then why not? If mayweather looks sharp then whats the excuse? 40 isnt that old. Hes talked a lot of **** about golovkin, saying its an easy fight so lets get this thing on. Lets not give me the bull**** about mayweather being retired because unless im incorrect hes fighting his 50th pro fight later this year? You are either retired or you are not. Golovkin wont be as big a payday as mcgregor but its still a lot of money on the table once the hype machine gets into full swing cause id imagine it would be seen as floyds most likely chance of losing a fight. And wouldnt beating golovkin be a better way of ending a career than against mcgregor?Comment
