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.

Don't be fucking silly. How is it like saying he could beat Tyson?
In his prime, it is not inconceivable to suggest that Floyd probably would've beaten GGG. And Hagler and GGG are very different fighters.
You let your hatred of Floyd distort your opinion of him as a Boxer.
I think Floyd used to be a twat, but you have to respect his quality.

Golovkin better be happy Mayweather doesn't hear him mouffin off! Superman may leap tall buildings but Mayweather leaps decades of legends AND is faster than a speeding Nerf dart. Golovkin will be lucky to get a Charlie Z match after Floyd is finished with him![]()
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.
I don't think there's much in the fight now. I have nothing against Canelo , I quite like the guy, and I think he stands a decent chance. my problem is De La Hoya. the guy is a prick. people criticised GGG for fighting (in their minds) mismatches like Brook etc. the only reason he had to do that was because he got dicked around by De La Hoya and his marinating bollocks. He also got pissed about by them other 2 timewasting jokers Eubank Jr. and Saunders.
some of the matchups and catchweights Oscar has put Canelo in have been quite disrespectful to the sport imo. And I don't think for one second Canelo was ducking GGG or scared , he would've probably fought him at any given time.
But in saying all that, I hate to say it, But I reckon has timed this perfectly to give Canelo the best opportunity he's gonna get.
