You better be joking because this really gets on my tits when people think that little fighters can still beat up bigger fighters based on what they do at the smaller weights. Floyd is a welterweight, his peak years were probably at a lower weight than that.
If an old ODH could nearly beat Floyd, an old Shane rocked Money man and Castillio/Maidana made it uncomfortable then what would GGG do?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Of course little fighters can beat bigger fighters and history confirms that
Id be interested to hear your views on these guys who all won World Titles at multiple weights
Hearns - Welterweight to Cruiserweight
Duran - Lightweight - Middleweight
Pacquiao - Flyweight to Jnr Middleweight
Roy Jones - Middleweight to Heavyweight
I am not saying fighters can not go up in weight and win. Floyd is an example of that but his limit was light middleweight and at his age he would not go further.
The equivalent of this would be Hearns and Jones beating prime Lennox, Duran beating prime Roy Jones. Very unlikely to put it mildly.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I did say a prime Mayweather would beat Golovkin with ease, absolutely tailor made for Floyd, zero head movement would have made it 12 rounds of target practise for Floyd.
Baffles me why people hate on Mayweather, the guy was an incredible fighter and his record speaks for itself.

To be fair, Prime Floyd was super featherweight through super lightweight. Floyd doesn't beat GGG at middleweight just like GGG has zero chance against Ward at light heavyweight.
That being said, Floyd at 154 actually beats Golovkin at 160 in a similar fashion that he beat Alvarez at 154.
The clinic that Alvarez is about to put on GGG will validate my statements
If Canelo beats GGG I would be shocked but credit to you frozensolid and redleather for making the bold prediction.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
It'll be credit to Canelo pickers if they're proved wrong and admit they're wrong.
All the Golovkin haters (not calling all Canelo pickers haters) will say Canelo is shit if he gets whopped - Floyd's leftovers. Catchweight king. Protected by Oscar. Blah, blah, blah...
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
And by the way the bookies don't even make Golovkin a big favourite. The odds are virtually identical to Brook-Spence, which just about everyone accepts is 50-50.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
So Floyd doesnt beat GGG at middleweight, but he beats a 160lb GGG whilst weighing 154lb? Sounds like one and the same thing no? Unless you're meaning a hypothetical where Floyd is forced to weigh in at 160lb? Forcing a fighter to weigh something he is not comfortable with is a ridiculous idea that will never catch on. Floyd never beat Canelo at 154lbs.
Whichever way you slice this, your statements suck balls.
It never ceases to amaze that you have to either be a hater or a fanboy in some peoples eyes. There's an awful lot of agro here for a seemingly innocuous 'Leave Britney Floyd alone' thread.
Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Floyd is great, there aint one of us here who wont in 20 years time be getting into it with some snot faced prick who thinks the big deal at the time is the best thing since sliced bread. That said, on an even playing field, at a time when this conceivably could happen, I only see one winner and it aint Floyd. Yes little men have moved up to beat big men since time and memorial and history proves this. History also proves that no matter how great they are, their path to championships at higher weight classes are generally very carefully cultivated. If Floyd went after a middle weight title, aint no way he takes aim at GGG.
If we're talking pound for pound. I got no problem with Floyd beating anyone at any time in any weight class.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
