But Floyd's the one who thinks very little of GGG's skill. To him, he probably thinks it would take only a moderate amount of effort to beat him.

do you really believe that? he also said pac was one dimensional prior to fighting him. im not a fan of floyd but he knows his boxing. if it was easy, then it would have happen already.Originally posted by LockardTheGOAT View PostBut Floyd's the one who thinks very little of GGG's skill.

That's rather short-sighted. And I don't recall him ever saying Pac was one-dimensional, if he ever did, it was just trash talk. His opinion about Golovkin has always seemed pretty genuine.Originally posted by WesternChamp View Postdo you really believe that? he also said pac was one dimensional prior to fighting him. im not a fan of floyd but he knows his boxing. if it was easy, then it would have happen already.

so for pac its just trash talk but when it comes to ggg, he's being serious?? LOL. look, floyd will be floyd. you expect floyd to give ggg credit when ggg is rival to canelo, who floyd beat and is suppose to be one of floyd's best win?Originally posted by LockardTheGOAT View PostThat's rather short-sighted.

"Can Manny Pacquiao beat me?" he asked a Sky reporter afterwards. "Absolutely not. Easy work, easy fight. I don't see no versatility in Manny Pacquiao. I see just a fighter, you know, a good puncher, but just one dimension".

He knew back then that Pac was his biggest rival and that he was always gonna have to fight him eventually. Plus, that was at the height of his "Money" Mayweather days when he was a rapid **** talker. The Golovkin talk came around/after his retirement, when he seemed more genuine with his criticisms of fighters.Originally posted by WesternChamp View Postso for pac its just trash talk but when it comes to ggg, he's being serious??

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with Floyd, but I can see why a technical boxer like him would think Golovkin is too limited to beat him.

but you said you think floyd will come back out of retirement to fight ggg.Originally posted by LockardTheGOAT View PostHe knew back then that Pac was his biggest rival and that he was always gonna have to fight him eventually.

so going by your logic, floyd is only saying ggg is one dimensional because he knows he's gonna fight him eventually like with manny??? thats what you said regarding what floyd said about pac being one dimensional.

floyd will not give ggg credit because ggg is seen as a threat to canelo which floyd beat! so if ggg beat canelo worst then that's gonna make floyd's win over canelo seem less meaningful.Originally posted by LockardTheGOAT View PostHe knew back then that Pac was his biggest rival and that he was always gonna have to fight him eventually.

look at what floyd said about pac vs cotto. floyd completely discredit that fight saying pac fought a drained and damaged cotto, BUT when floyd fought cotto years later and beat him, all of a sudden cotto was a true champion and is NOT damage anymore?
I don't see no versatility in Manny Pacquiao. I see just a fighter, you know, a good puncher, but just one dimension.I'm not saying Cotto wasn't a good fight. But he's been in a lot of wars - floyd mayweather

Nah, canelo was simply too green. Right now canelo would ko floyd, he learned the value of a strong body attack after that fight.Originally posted by FlatLine View PostMayweather had to weight-drain a green 21 year old to 152, there's no way he's fighting an experienced 160 Canelo. If he hadn't weight-drained Canelo in the first fight there's no guarantee he would have won the first time around. It was obvious that the weight-draining effected Canelo quite badly, he was sluggish and his reflexes weren't on point.
