Do people seriously believe Floyd Mayweather Jr could beat Gennady Golovkin at 160?

[Mr Objecitivity]

You must not know boxing.They don't HAVE to weigh 160 to fight at 160 155 or more.And even that is not hard and fast rule.Cotto defended his 160pd title weighin less then 154 or jr middle

I know boxing! I just don't fully understand your writing due to grammatical mistakes.

What you're referring to are catch weights. This thread has nothing to do with catch weight bouts. This thread is purely about both Golovkin and Floyd Mayweather jr fighting each other at the full 160 pound limit.

He could beat him 100%. Maybe even now as ridiculous as it sounds, i used to say there is no way and that GGG is too big. But look at what canelo did, he sat on the ropes evading and slipping shots the whole fight. And even used his slow feet to evade GGG as well.

Floyd is a superior boxer to canelo with better lateral movement and speed. If canelo can evade GGG, what makes you think floyd cant? Size would play a small roll because it doesnt matter how hard you hit or how big you are when your opponent is making you miss everything. Thats what Floyd would to do GGG he would just dance and jab him and occasionally throw right hands to score points and cruise to a decision he probably wouldnt even hurt GGG in the process either just dance and outbox him.

40 year old who hasn't had a competitive fight for over 2 years, i am not so sure, The floyd who fought canleo at 36 schools GGG at 160. GGG couldn't land on canelo, he has no chance landing on floyd. And don't come with the but GGG would no respect for floyds power, you mean like canleo didn't respect it and how floyd was backing up canleo up at times? Respecting power is one thing, respecting getting constantly punched in the face and being punished for ever mistake is another, i don't care how big you are or how good your chin is, let a little 12 year old boy put on a pair of 10z gloves and punch you in the face as hard as he can and see how many you are willing to take.

That's basically what Berto mentions in this interview: it's not about Floyd's raw power but the precision and accuracy and making you pay for every mistake over and over again throughout the fight. Berto describes Floyd as a "sharp puncher".

That being said, I don't know if the current version of Floyd beats GGG at 160.

Yes, you are! If it's a 160 pound match, then both boxers must weigh in at 160 pounds. Otherwise, it is a catch weight. Which has nothing to do with this thread.

Perhaps you need to fix up on your English by taking some English courses? Perhaps offer advice to yourself first before offering it to others?

Follow your own advice! The issue here isn't about boxing but your poor use of English grammar. Your posts aren't easy to understand because of that.

Its only catchweight if that's decided before fight.The fights I talked about were Floyd weighin in less on his own.And this is boxing board not English 101.Im not trying to impress anyone.And to bring that up because you cant win argument just shows your kinda a punk little kid who cant admit when he is wrong(which seems like a lot).

Lets be honest you had no prob understanding WHAT I was sayin.You just don't understand BOXING.You kept coming back to disagree so you got the english just not the BOXING.

Right! Likewise, this is a boxing board and not a homework prac 101. Therefore, the fact that you need to bring that up when you can't win an argument shows you for what you are. Perhaps it's you who is the real punk? If you don't like it when I criticize your English, then don't criticize me by stating I need to do some irrelevant homework which is totally off topic to this thread.

It's a catch weight bout if the bout takes place with an arbitrary weight limit that doesn't officially exist. For it to be an official 160 pound non-catch weight bout, both boxers must weight 160 pound for the weigh in.
