Gentlemen, it's not too far off to imagine, although I admitted in the original post that it is a bit fantastical. Golovkin says his dream fight is Floyd Mayweather. Floyd has fought at 154 twice before and is now fighting at 152 in September. If Golovkin can get to 154 safely, it's not to crazy to imagine. Think of this way. Canelo usually rehydrates to 170 come fight night. Ortiz did the same against Mayweather. Golovkin actually comes in to camp at 167 and gets down to 160 without much work. I doubt he's all that much bigger than Canelo. For example, I know that he's sparred with Canelo before. He's not a super middleweight by any means, although he might be able to hang with super middleweights.

I can't recall if Floyd has ever fought at taller fighter, Corrales was 5'10 I think, but Golovkin would be two inches taller than Floyd at 5'10.

By the way, this is a major compliment to Floyd, there is no one at 147 that can compete with him. The only way he can go is up in weight for a competitive fight, which is why he is taking on Canelo next.

Listen, this is a mythical match-up anyway. Is the consensus that it would be a step too far up in weight for Floyd?
