    At 154 I think GGG would have drained to fck, he talked that he could do it but so did Oscar fighting Manny, they dont test a weight they think they can make, I really think GGG would have been drained and Floyd winning a wide UD.

      GGG Mayweather struggled with Maidana in the first fight. Can’t see how he’d keep GGG off him.

        If he's healthy enough with the weight drain, GGG's jab causes Floyd all types of problems.

          How would GGG vs Floyd have turned out if it had happened?

          Would Golovkin have been too strong for Mayweather, or would he have been too drained at that weight?

          Stylistically how would it have played out?
          - -Woulda played out TBE TUE running squallin' fer daddy.

          Coulda challenged Canelo at 155 but ducked that to. Making easy $ fighting Berto, Guerrero, loony Vic with Bayliss/Cortez protecting him, so no need.

            Aw, heck, I'd beat both at the same time inside a minute.

            See how easy that is!!!

              GGGs boxing has no chance of beating Floyd skill wise Floyd would wash him, GGGs size and power has every chance of beating Floyd, 154 hmmmmmm Id have a bet at the right odds.

                So every guy that doesnt get a massive fight who you think should is a duck, unless its Manny GGG off course, now Manny not fighting GGG that wouldnt be a duck but Floyd would be.

                Youre so plastic and hollow, you got too much hate to have a clue thats anywhere near accurate.

                  GG back in 2013 was a vastly different animal. He was fearless. He'd walk through everything Floyd threw, stalk him, and destroy him. One of the reasons why I was OK with that fight never happening. Floyd was too small.

                    Golovkin would have to chase him all night. He would walk through Floyd's punches. If he doesn't knock him out and Floyd survives, GGG probably loses a highly contested decision and it's another gift for Floyd.

                      GGG would likely be a compromised fighter at 154 and I doubt he would accept at that weight even if it were presented to him. He's never been a take on all comers fighters like he was hyped, he weighs his options carefully and prefers staying in his comfort zone even if it means fighting scrubs. Bear in mind, he previously shot down a legacy fight with Ward citing weight issues (and moving up is easier than moving down) and refused the Canelo rematch until Golden Boy salvaged it after it was all but dead, and Floyd obviously wouldn't pay him anywhere close to that kind of money.
