At 154 or a catchweight of 156 , how does Golovkin do against Pac and Floyd ? I say he ko's Pacman and outpoints Floyd.
Thoughts?

Pac would never take that risk.
He wouldnt even fight canelo.
Floyd schooled canelo.
So you say Pacman wouldn't beat Canelo?
Neither would want to fight him and to be honest I can't blame them!
I agree, but let's say the fight happens. Who do you pick?
We will never know because he didn't take the risk...floyd did.Quote:

Look at Manny against Margarito, he was basically fighting the size difference all night, in what was in every other way a total mismatch and beat down.
GGG knocks them both out :cool:
I would have liked to see Mayweather/ Martinez, unfortunately it never happened. No way either of these guys want anything to do with Golovkin.
Saying GGG beats them says absolutely nothing.
Floyd started at 130, that is 30lbs short of 160 or 23% of total body mass. Pac started even smaller.
To look at an equal situation for GGG
He would be fighting someone weighing in at 197.
Looking at someone fighting as high as they can fight vs someone fighting as low as they can fight is absurd.
Kovalev would smash GGG to bits.
Wilder would smash kovalev.
Where does it end?
Armstrong fought at featherweight, Gavilan and Napoles were at 122 and 126, Duran turned pro at 119, so why whine that it isn't fair when former greats have done it? Seems only appropriate that someone claiming to be TBE would also attempt itQuote:

I'm just pointing out the fact that former greats who started at lighter weights than Mayweather challenged themselves at middlweight. Fans didn't whine about it being unfair. I remember being excited about Duran taking on Hagler, not complaining that Duran didn't belong at 160 or fighting Barkley (the man who knocked out the man who knocked him the f__k out, Tommy Hearns).Quote:

GGG would beat them both.
Manny did fight Margarito when he was hot but even he said 154 was too high for him.
Woah woah woah!Quote:

He was hot on A side meth, and Margo was ice cold without his bricks. Fact.
I thought you meant when margarito was hot - meaning pac fought margarito when margarito was in his prime.Quote:

Both of them would get killed. Neither has the legs at this point to outmaneuver GGG. I have no doubt both of them could win a few rounds, but GGG is just too strong and imposing and that would wear out the smaller men. GGG stops both guys.
