      He wouldn't go higher than 152 to fight Canelo so he won't go to 160 to fight GGG.

          What a silly thread! No way is Mayweather coming out of retirement to fight GGG. NO WAY.

            Most boxing fans who think Floyd is a ducker and cherry picker don't for a second think Floyd would take on GGG at 160 of course. So its up to Floyd to shock the hell out of people and do it.

            When FLoyd says GGG has no special effects and that he would beat him, how can anyone defend Floyd when he wont fight GGG.?

            Do people realize how badly it reflects on Floyd that he wont be an underdog in a fight historically? Its not that hard to find a fighter youd be underdog against, unless your name is Wlad klitscho!
            If you don't fight someone your underdog against it means you aren't taking a risk and challenging yourself. Its all well and good being underdog early in your career against Corrales, when you are a bit unknown and people don't know how good you are. That doesn't actually mean Corrales was anything special, just that people didn't think FLoyd was that good at the time.

            So for someone to be favourite against the so called best that is FLoyd now, you know that opponent must be great, and GGG is very good indeed.
            Floyd needs to fight GGG. If he loses he wont drop down the ATG rankings. If he lasts the distance he will move up. If he beats GGG he will move up into the top 10. He is in a no lose situation, gaining a reputation for being brave and eradicating his coward reputation for ever.

              Nah. Who wants to see a boring runner, clincher and a roider get awarded again with millions and millions of dollars for another boring fight? The frail-looking one-armed Pacman made him run and clinch all night. And Pacman still beat him. TBE got practically schooled in that fight. I'd rather see this guy never to appear in this sport. Let him stay retired.

                Just no. Mayweather vs GGG at 160 is as ridiculous as asking GGG to go fight Kovalev in his next fight. Its nothing but a slaughter waiting to happen. Even at 154 Floyd likely gets pummled unless making 154 literally kills GGG. And this is'nt a knock on Floyd. The dude is 38, a welterweight and well past his prime, I mean wtf. Now a primed up Pretty Boy would be a different story, but that is'nt what we are talking about here.

                      Im sure Floyd cares what historians think of him. Floyd knows in his head and heart that historians rate people who take a risk and challenge themselves. In Floyds case he needs to be an underdog and not worry about the zero. Floyd said he doesn't mind losing as long as hes healthy? Not too much evidence of that idea.
                      So maybe he wont fight GGG because of the health. That ultimately in the end maybe what stops Floyd from being as great as he wanted to be and held him back..
