Why did people wanted Floyd to fight GGG? That's like Leonard going up to fight Tyson

Duran fought Hagler...

Going by fight night weights Floyd fought bigger guys than Hagler...

If Floyd thought he'd beat ggg he should have fought him. You should feel cheated that Floyd thought he could beat ggg but not fight him

You would've still asked more of Floyd if he fought and beat GGG. You have been exposed as a bar mover plenty of times. The Mayweather hit list thread exposed plenty of asshats, yourself included.

Golovkin is a lot bigger than Hagler.

Actually they're both middleweights and Hagler is old and shrunk now in height. Most likely
But Hagler is greater and Duran fought Hagler as he thought he could take him. Floyd thinks he can take GGG but don't fight him?

Hagler fought when they had same day weigh-ins. He was a genuine 160. Golovkin is 170+ in the ring.

Floyd was a natural 135 pounder, GGG is a natural SMW that fights as a middle weight.

Did we all want Leonard going up in weight to fight Tyson back in the 80's...........smh

aaaaaaaaaaaand we have a bullshytter. Seriously man, you ruin a perfectly good point and observation by making up ******ed BS, and I say this as someone who isn't a fan of GGG but I don't like my intelligence being insulted in an effort to 'persuade' me towards your argument, which is a valid argument that many people have noticed.

Anyway, the reason is simple why they wanted Floyd to fight GGG - because Floyd has a lot of haters and they wanted to see him lose finally and someone AT LEAST 2 classes bigger than him stands a much better chance at winning. Floyd has a massive following of haters that want to see him lose for various reasons. The Floyd/Pac fight wasn't so much as Floyd fans vs Pac fans, it was Floyd fans vs Floyd haters.

Golovkin is a lot bigger than Hagler.

...and Floyd is no Duran.

...and Floyd is no Duran.

You again........ You're right. Mayweather would be a stylistic nightmare for Duran. Look how he quit against Leonard.

...and Floyd is no Duran.

Yeah he never quit. "NO MAS!"

[Hatesrats]

Nah, Tyson actually had punching power

Say what you will about either guy, but Floyd never faced the type of opposition Duran did. Credit where credit is due.
