Thoughts on Floyd going to 160 to face Canleo/GGG winner?

His ERA is Done, he dominated his ERA and hopefully after McGregor the sport of boxing can move on because things are getting GOOD in boxing WITHOUT HIM! If it was a fight in which he could early 100-300 Million like this McGregor it probably would've been possible but the fact that he dominated Canelo the first time ruined the possibilty of the rematch being bigger than the first fight. With GGG, Hardcores we like him and know of him but casuals still don't know GGG like that which is why the Buzz for Canelo vs GGG kinda fizzled out and nobody really talking about it not even on this forum I haven't seen many GGG vs Canelo threads!

spence and mayweather have both said they'd beat golovkin so im expecting them both to fight him next year and back up the talk.

Mayweather only came back for one reason and that was to make huge money for an easy fight he almost certainly will win. If Mayweather was coming back for a combination of making big money and taking a fight that would add to his already great legacy if he won then he would have picked somebody like Spence or Thurman. He will KOt Conor and go cash his gigantic check and retire for good. The thought of fighting the Canelo-GGG winnier at 160 pounds will never cross his mind nor should it. He is way too old and small to win that fight. Mayweather is a welterweight and only fought Cotto at 154. He made Canelo get down to 152 before agreeing to fight him. He isn't going to now fight a prime middleweight Canelo at 160 or a huge punching powerhouse GGG when he is 40 years old.

Mayweather was never, never, never going to fight Golovkin at 160lbs or 154lbs at any time. He isn't dumb, his pops said the truth, Golovkin is simply too big for Floyd. But not just big, really good too. Being the best P4P doesn't mean you win every fight. Duran was clearly a better fighter p4p than Hearns but he got smoked when they matched up. Not saying Golovkin/Mayweather would have been that lopsided but just goes to show my point.
I'd argue that if Golovkin went up against Ward he'd be at a distinct size disadvantage and for that reason I'd favor Ward, plus Ward is excellent. But I'm not sure when it comes to P4P that Ward is any better than Golovkin.

Floyd is done after this next fight. People need to learn to let him go away. Stop mentioning him as a boxer already, we might still get to see him in promotional stuff but damn just ****ing stop with trying to match him with anybody anymore. It's pointless, let him have whatever legacy you think he has and move on to the next guy you hate/idolize.Last edited by HandsofIron; 08-09-2017, 04:46 PM.

I'll give neither canelo or ggg any credit. Floyd is way past prime and it's a lose lose for both. If they beat him they beat a shell of what he was if they lose to im they beat an old man. Floyd fuk off and retire please take PAC, Ward, khan, rios and Ortiz with yu
