Floyd vs GGG?

[imp]

Its only a matter of time before someone mentions that floyd is ducking GGG. It will happen. Soon enough.

Even floyd sr says that floyd is a natural 140 fighter.

Floyd needs to jump up to160 where his punches are even less effective so he is even more at a disadvantage against his opponents..its the only way he has a chance of loosing.

Who would you want floyd to fight next even if you like him or not?

The Golovkin fight is ridiculous. And I'm tired of his promoter and trainer talking so much. They need to get in the ring themselves or shut up. Calling everybody's name in 5 different weight classes and insinuating most are scared. They take away from how humble and nice of a guy Golovkin is. I'd like to see Floyd fight Garcia...at140. At 147 everybody pretty much sees it as a clinic but at Danny's weight it would be interesting. The fight wouldn't have to be built anymore and it gives Floyd incentive to be the reigning champ at 140, 147, and 154.

I agree. Floyd is a 140 pounder and is already fighting above his best weight. That being said, Floyd would have a great shot at beating GGG due to his speed n mobility. Thing is he would have to move the whole fight n potshot like he did vs Baldy, n then people would accuse him of being boring n running all night. Guy can't win either way.

Golovkin is one of the only real challenges to Floyd imo, it would be an amazing achievement if Floyd went to 160 & was victorious. In saying that I'd much prefer to see him fight Martinez for the lineal championship

If he does it for GGG.
Hopkins will expect the same.

I would rather see a GGG vs froch.

Hopkins is an ATG & a name like that on Floyd's record would look nice. Hopkins dropping to 160 for the 1st time since 2005 might be enough of an incentive/ advantage to interest Mayweather

It's funny that you should bring up a fight between GGG and Floyd. Floyd has cleaned out the welterweight division of all credible challengers. GGG has not done that yet at 160. He still needs to meet Martinez, Barker, Murray and Quillin. So he has a lot to do there. When he gets to the point of fighting average guys on HBO PPV, then he should consider moving up. That's where we are with Floyd right now. He's cleaned out the division of available challengers and there's nowhere else to go but up for tough fights.

In my opinion, Khan is a waste of a fight. It adds nothing to his legacy and the conclusion is forgone already. If he fights Khan, there should be backlash. I don't want to hear crap about Khan is fast and speed troubles Floyd. Just go watch the Julio Diaz fight. If Diaz can time Khan, Floyd will have no trouble doing so.

Who else? The winner of the Lara/Trout fight is the most difficult fight out there for Floyd right now. I think he wins the fight, but it's the most difficult.

It's too early now, but in a few fights, if they keep winning, Thurman, Garcia and Broner are potential opponents that have the right promoter.

Unfortunately, the pickings are slim at or around 147. It's like Wladimir Klitschko at heavyweight. He's so far above the field that facing average guys doesn't do too much for me. Credit to them for that.

I mentioned GGG as its been talked about in the media alot and i think they know floyd is retiring end of 2015 (if he does!) so there trying to rush things along.

Garcia should get the shot ahead of Khan imo. The Trout/ Lara winner should be in the mix. Maybe Pac or Bradley force Aram to try make the fight

If Floyd owns apart of the 154lb title and GGG can make it then why not?
Floyd moves up to 54 from 47 and GGG from 60 to 54! A match made in heaven.
Personally Floyd needs to be at 47 and GGG at 60 because their both the BEST there. People need to challenge THEM at their weight, not have THEM move up or down.
Next to the Heavyweight Title the Middleweight Champ was the second most prestigous title in boxing for many many years. GGG needs to stay right there and get Sergio to retire or fight!

GGG still has alot to prove at 160 like I said before. And people really seem expect so much from Floyd who is a welterweight. I can guarantee if Floyd fought GGG then the bar will raise to him fighting Ward 168 and then Hopkins at a catch weight of 170. GGG should fight Quillin, Barker or even Rubio.

[Rantcatrat]

To tell you the truth, I don't really know where Floyd goes for his next fight besides the winner of Lara/Trout. Perhaps Alexander? Garcia has said he isn't ready, and I'll take him for his word. Broner is an opponent, assuming he beats Maidana in convincing fashion, because of his name value, but I don't think that fight is all that close. Am I missing someone?
