Mayweather v GGG - fantasy fight

[cyclone]

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.

Yeah GGG is just too big and relentless. You need young legs to keep that guy off you and some decent power to keep him honest. Floyd doesn't have the legs to do it anymore and he certainly doesn't have the power to keep GGG honest.

I think you need to be able to outdo him on distance and footwork to beat him. GGG doesn't waste much energy moving around the ring so if the game plan is stick and move while moving away, there's a good chance that after 5 or 6 rounds, fatigue could set in. I think the key to beating GGG is a combination of smothering his power and sticking and moving. We don't know his inside game at this point. That's why I would probably only favor Ward or Hopkins against him between 160 and 175. Maybe a big puncher at above him like Froch, Kovalev or Stevenson too, but I'm less sure of that. Mayweather has the skill set to smother his power as well, but is he big enough to do it? Make no mistake about it--GGG is a solid sized middleweight. Strong, makes 160 easily, good height and reach. He's a problem for everyone at 160.

I'm glad you said GG is a solid sized middleweight....as opposed to all the other guys claiming he's small MW that should really by at 154..lol.

There isn't a lot at 160....A division where Geale is considered "world class" is a weak division.

Broner got crucified for fighting in a dead LW class.

"Time for him to challenge himself"

"That coward should move up and take some risks"

If Broner is a coward at 24 after moving from 130 to 147...i hate to see what GG is.
