    Default Mayweather v GGG - fantasy fight

    Fight made for Vegas next May. 154 weight limit and GGG cannot weigh more then 162 morning of fight. Who wins and how?

    I think its very tough to call and dont think moving down in weight would have much effect on GGG. In saying that Floyd figures out everybody.

    Although he is a small 160, I think draining himself down to 154 would really hurt GGG.

    Mayweather wants no part of him at 160. I believe Quillin actually wants to fight him though.

    How is GG a small MW?

    He's 5'10

    Funny how ya'll can claim Golovkin is a small MW..... but can't bring yourselves to admit Floyd is a small WW.

    That shit is just weird.

    If we were talking the Floyd of 4-5 years ago, I'd take him all day vs Golovkin.

    Right now, I don't think Floyd has the legs to escape GGG.

    I agree. I think its a close to pick em fight. I think Id back either at odds against but would be pushed to back either at odds on. Maybe slightly favor Floyd as we dont know how GGGs power is at 154 and have never seen him against anyone remotely as good as floyd

    If GGG wasn't dead at 154 it would be interesting. Floyd is clearly a welterweight, he never even weighs in above 150 for the light-middle dances. If they fought at a catchweight like 157, Floyd would obviously be the much smaller man so I'd back GGG to muller him.

    I think GGG can make 154 pretty easy, but I would advise him against agreeing to the 162lb day of the fight stipulation. This would be the best fight possible to me. Floyd's speed and mobility vs GGG's relentless pressure and much bigger punch. I can see Floyd out speeding him and getting the decision behind pot shots and some really uncomfortable moments. I also think that GGG can seriously hurt Floyd with either hand, even if he catches him high on the head. Great fight, but not really fair to ask Floyd to take that monster on.

    I sort of have the feeling that deep down, most of us realize logically that a fight with GGG is just wrong for Floyd.
    First off I will say that GGG is putting up some impressive wins. He is obviously powerful for his size. That's great. But how would it be justice for Floyd to fight a bigger stronger guy when we all know Floyd's punch power is topped out at 154. He is just able to keep guys at this weight honest and the rest he gets by on skill and reflexes. His last.. how many opponents have out weighed him? 154 is it. Just gotta be realistic. I'm sure many want to see him lose but we need not go overboard because of that. Let him lose in a fair fight against an opponent who actually belongs at 154.

    Whats fair? Is making someone come in at 152 for a fight at 154 fair? Is avoiding young up comers like Thurman and Porter while picking on plodders who have been beaten easily before fair? Maidanas first fight at welter was 2012 while Floyds was in 2006 and has been at 154 before before Maidana was at 147.

    Could Floyd even make 140 again?

    GGG would lose at 154lb, I think he would be weight drained.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Is Floyd avoiding those guys? Or is it just that they haven't worked their way up yet?

    The other things you mentioned still don't negate the point I'm making.

    You can't reason with a Floyd hater.

    They want Floyd to move up AGAIN to fight GG but don't want Golovkin to up ONCE to fight Ward.

    I can see if Ward were at 175 or Cruiser..but he's just one division away.
