    People need to ask themselves WHY would Floyd move to 160 and fight ggg? Floyd being the biggest star and undefeated and better resume why would he have to put himself at such a disadvantage while ggg gets to stay at his weight class and not move any where?

    Let’s be honest Usually when boxers do that they are the b side, need the money, or want the clout kinda like what Ryan garcia is doing for the pacquiao fight.

      Absolutely................Not! GOAT is given to one who sacrifices for others not themselves. For example, the #1 GOAT (ALi), arguable #2 GOAT (Pac-Man). Now, the Best is arguable but its likely Mayweather.

        Beating 97G means nothing and it never did. He's an average fighter that only looked good beating up on bums.

          That's what Floyd said but he said it from the safety of his mansion with all the phones off the hook

            He said it live on TV: Straight up and down, no special effects.

            And boy, was Floyd right about how limited Golovkin is.

              Ok but the point is he wasn't willing to put his money where his mouth was.

                GGG was the one calling out Floyd. Lots of people call out Floyd.

                GGG just happened to be one of the least attractive options. That's GGG's fault for fighting nothing but bum mandatories.

                  That's Floyd speak for the guy can fight and he is in his prime. He doesn't get on the list to begin with.

                      No matter who Floyd beat, there would be people that don't like him that would denigrate his resume.

                      As for beating GGG in 2014, is that really a huge win?
