    <p>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.
    </p>

    <p>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.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Could Floyd even make 140 again?
    </p>
    <p> </p>


    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.

    Where has anyone on this forum said Floyd should move up to fight GG? Ive suggested they fight at 154, the weight class Floyd fought in for the 1st time 7 years ago. And if not him, at least fight a good up and comer people think have a chance agaisnt him. Thurman, Porter rather than a plodder he already beat a few months ago,

    Golovkin to me is a much bigger, slightly more controlled version of Lucas Mattysse. A self styled boxer-puncher who would happily brawl if things weren't entirely to plan.

    This is the wrong style to face Floyd with but when your hands are as heavy as Golovkin's hands are then you a very real equaliser.

    I think Golovkin is just to powerful for Floyd.

    To me, GGG is much more skilled than Lucas. He has great foot work, cuts off the ring extremely well, has a ramrod jab(which will bother Floyd), a huge punch with both hands, and is very effective at parrying shots. Floyd is much faster, so it would be interesting to see Floyd use n create angles to pot shot GGG from the outside. This is one fight where Floyd would HAVE to stay off the ropes.
