So is GGG still short work ?

[DocGreenThumb.]

GGG would cut the ring off and body shot Floyd until he succumbs. Those pitty pat punches will have no special effects against a granite chin like GGGs. None

GGG too big + Floyd is retired , as a big GGG fan i am 100% certain that if he doesnt have the size advantage (and a substantial one) he is NOT winning , of course there is a point where size matters , GGG fans should stop worrying about a retired small WW @ 40 and focus on real fights , are ppl that desperate to see Floyd lose ?
Floyd for all the BS hes done through the years is LEAGUES ahead of GGG in the sport of boxing , and thats just how it is , if GGG takes Canelo to school it will raise his profile for sure , but Floyd is on a different scale , GGG will not be able to match him unless he really goes for greatness and start looking for the real career defining fights (Canelo and Jacobs are the only ones that comes to mind and one of them was a VERY competitive fight while the other has not taken place yet).

GGG would massacre him. Floyd better stay retired because he had to wait for an MMA fighter to gas before he can win.

Here we go...gotta look for your next hero huh? What a sore loser. 50-0 forever

He had chance after chance to prove himself...Ward, Frock, DeGale, Jack, etc etc....he took none of them golovkin is the biggest farce in boxing.

Mayweather got old. He looked old for Berto too. Him getting old and declining was the Hater's only hope for him to take a loss. Mayweather 5 years ago would beat any version of GGG, but 5 years ago no one had ever heard of Golovkin.

Ohh **** , Robin Williams is alive and posting on NSB!

I'm sure Mayweather fought McGregor the way he did because he wasn't a threat. I'm sure he fought Berto the way he did because he didn't consider him a threat. I'm also sure he fought Canelo they way he did because he didn't view him as a threat. If anything is hurting Mayweather are the long layoffs. If he fights in another 6 months you would see a sharper Mayweather.

Let's see how Golovkin does with the guy Mayweather toyed with before we start talking this mess.

Lmao. Really is that your honest opinion. Hopkins stayed in the weight class for years and years. A lot of boxers do. GGG fought at 140 in amateurs!! He is not a big middle weight but when he is done in the middle weight im sure he may go up if he can beat Canelo.
GGG is better then you are giving him. He has fought anybody and everybody at middle. Its not his fought the class was not that good or he made it look that bad.

i would never count floyd out in any realistic match up the guy simply just does not gas out ever and has impeccable ring IQ a master at managing a 12 round fight but at this moment you would have to say it would favour a golovkin win he is bigger more active and floyds way past prime the guys 40 years old

in boxing terms tho golovkin p4p and career wise aint even close to floyds level they dont even belong in the same sentence no disrespect to golovkin cos no fighter except pac is close to floyds greatness in this era

[low blows]

No the casuals never heard of him he was mowing down guys on HBO. Also 5 years ago he would have still murdered Floyd. You saw what Floyd's limits are in terms of reach, last night, loaded gloves aside if Margacheato had fought tall against Floyd he would have had similar reach issues.

Size Difference too big. Kind of like with GGG & Ward. We have weight classes for a reason.
