Who here would criticize Mayweather if he fought GGG?

[hugh grant]

It would be hard to criticize Floyd if he was seen to take a risk. He has been fighting quite a long time, being lauded as the best. Yet has NEVER ever done anything his peers haven't already done. He fought Pac, but JMM already fought him 4 times. He fought Canelo, but so did old man SSM without a CW. Floyd needs to do something others haven't and he needs to take a risk. GGG at 160. At 154 he would get criticized. But Floyd has always said its about the money and not legacy anyway.

GGG needs to take the risk and fight at 168....

[Larry the boss]

So, draining a 34 year old fighter down to a weight class he has literally NEVER fought in as a professional is considered legit?

Floyd told the public that he fights them healthy; that would be counter to his public stance. GGG is dominant at 160 - the glory in fighting GGG is at 160, not at 154

GGG would be draining himself man,he is the one asking to fight a ww

[BrometheusBob.]

Since people are bringing up the matter of weight - I've generally been fine with the idea of May/GGG @ 154.

Of course if we heard that May was willing to step to GGG @ 160, we'd all lose our **** 10x over, which is why it would leave a bigger impression if he did that. At either weight, it would still have been Mayweather taking on a massive risk against a naturally larger man who is riding a 20KO streak, has no professional losses, is generally considered the best in his division, and who has a strong amateur background. That deserves a great deal of respect in of itself. As long as GGG didn't come onto the scale and into the ring looking like ODLH against Pacquiao, there wouldn't be a reason to doubt the quality of the victory. "Running" isn't a reason to discredit a victory, it might not be the most entertaining thing, but it wouldn't take away from how big a victory it would be.

Im sure when GGG is about to retire he will take a risk at heavyweight. But for the time being he is kindly giving Floyd the opportunity to take a risk with him at 160.

[mathed]

At 154, I'd give Floyd credit as long as GGG wasn't drained to death. If there is some demand for 152 or 150.....lol, nah, no credit at all.

GGG needs to take the risk and fight at 168....

Ward needs to take a risk and move up the 3 pounds to 175.

[Lords]

come on, if Floyd fought GGG at 154 and boxed circles around him the excuse is weight drain, AKA no credit. Floyd will never ever win with the haters.

[bluebeam]

no way in hell.

I got GGG at 160, 154, 147 or whichever weight they fought at.

Too strong, too prime, too much kill and too many skills.

boy you crazy. you think a 32 year old fighter is gonna be able to drop down to a weight class he has never fought at as a pro and be the same fighter?


ggg would be weaker and slower at 154 and a corpse at 147. Floyd would canelo ggg at 154 or lower

[littlemac]

the criticizism would be, Floyd waited for GGG to get old. Floyd will aways be in a lose lose situation. Floyd is the only fighter that turns ducks into cherries.
