Putting Golovkin's name in the same sentence with Mayweather is an insult to boxing

[BamBam_]

So the chump mayweather could finally step it up and fight Golovkin and prove the TS right. But no no, that's too big a risk, right? He ducked Pac and Margarito, what makes you think he would fight a beast like GGG?

He's a middleweight? What's the limit?

There is no limit for these clowns

Floyd best weights were 135-147 but they want him to fight a big middleweight, so shameful.

they can fight at 154.

I think a fight at 154 could be interesting. I actually think there would be some drama as to whether or not Mayweather would win. I'd actually still probably favor him though.

I'd also like to reiterate that Canelo weighed more on fight night against Trout than GGG did against Macklin.

People not wanting to fight you is an excuse? Canelo can fight whoever he wants because he's a big draw so he'll get those fights, why are you comparing a guy like that to a guy who's being openly avoided? It's like comparing Oscar to Winky. He offered fights to super middleweight contenders Oosthuizen and Rodriguez but either HBO turned it down or the fighters turned it down. You haven't done your homework on GGG and you dare speak on his resume.

The fighters that you say are avoiding him probably don't even belong in the same ring with him.

fighters move up as they age.

[JPsol]

You are being dishonest. GGG is not seen as the best MW. Sergio is, despite HBO throwing him under the bus to push GGG. If floyd is going to fight at MW it will be for 1 of 2 reasons-lineal title or money. GGG is not the champ nor brings the money.

Its not offensive, but its disingenuous. GGG is a HBO fighter at MW, floyd, when ggg raised the notion of fighting him, was a showtime fighter at ww. We get it, ggg wants the money a floyd fight brings and HBO knows the press will eat up a call out for floyd. It also makes people not focus on a ward ggg fight which is much easier to make, but clearly threatens the push HBO is givng GGG. It also reduces HBO marquee roster by 1.

No one is acting like he can't be challenged. Most posters are just asking people to validate their call for GGG v floyd. It would be refreshing if a poster was just honest and said I want to see floyd get KTFO, GGG is the closest to ww who has shown immense power, I think he likely KO's floyd, so I want them to fight.

WHy is that so hard to admit?

HBO has been talking about a Ward-GGG fight, but I clearly see why they are waiting. All parties concerned have an incentive to wait from all that I've heard since it has the potential to be a big fight if both guys can continue to win and build their fan bases. It isn't as if GGG's team or Ward's team haven't talked about it on a few different occasions.

Maybe GGG would KO Floyd, but I can't say that's why I want it per se (the threat of his power certainly comes into it though). I'm simply of the opinion that he poses the biggest challenge to Floyd that is a somewhat realistic possibility given that he just fought a guy who is roughly the same size in terms of weight. It probably won't happen, but I still think it would be an interesting fight. I also understand why Floyd wouldn't take it. It's not as if it would diminish Floyd's previous accomplishments in anyway.

We can easily say the same about some of Mayweather's past opponents as well as some potential future opponents that are being discussed as possibilities.
