Floyd haters keep saying he ducked GGG

[smashup]

A Prime Mayweather would have absolutely toyed with GGG, Golovkin would have been chasing shadows for 12 rounds.
Way too fast and clever which is why he never lost.

Not at middleweight he wouldn't. Too small. GGG rips him a new one.

Golovkin wouldn't have laid a glove on him and Floyd would easily boxed his head off because GGG is a sitting duck who never moves his head, the size wouldn't have made a difference

Easy nights work for Mayweather, shame we never got to see it though.

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?

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.

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.

At middleweight? No way. P4P yes but not at middleweight even in his prime!

No hate just reality.

It is like saying Floyd could beat Hagler or even Tyson. Just not possible.

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.

It is inconceivable that prime Floyd at whatever weight you chose can beat a quality middleweight like GGG. Stop being a muppet on this issue.

I'm not being a muppet. I'm a GGG fan and he's dominated the MW Division for some time now.
But there's no denying his opposition has been poor.
Floyd beat a lot of great fighters albeit at lower than MW, but GGG is not a giant MW in height or size.
I could just see GGG Walking Floyd down like he does and getting tagged every time. Yeah, he'd brush them off and they wouldn't hurt him, but he may get frustrated and not have a plan B. Not dissimilar to the Jacobs fight.

To be fair, the thread starter said it's ridiculous to expect Floyd to beat Golovkin. There's no flomo in that opinion, basic common sense.

Saying and doing are 2 totally different things. That is why they say "They fight the fights".

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

[Fenster]

Floyd is so great he didn't even bother ruling middleweight-to-heavyweight.

Imagine what he would've done to Froch? You can't beat what you can't hit. Easy work.

I think that GGG has all the tools to beat Floyd, from movement to power. Beside, I really chuckled at your Charlie Zelenoff's allusion. Funily enough, the turd is still pretending to be a 195-0 (He gets a few victories a month) by either paying folks to take a dive or suckerpunching random people. That guy amazes me; after almost 10 years after losing to a very lousy Andrew Hartley, he's still at it, in fantasy land.

If you base Floyd beating Golovkin on the Jacobs fight - a 6'1 quick middleweight with a reach advantage that fights nothing like Floyd - then equally you have to consider Floyd "losing" to Castilo.

So based on how easily a 5'7, "slow" lightweight was able to pressure Floyd then a 5'11 middleweight with a longer reach, fantastic jab, bone crunching power and a granite strong bonce would absolutely kill him.

Yeah.. I wonder why Floyd never attempted winning a middleweight title.

Jacobs ain't 6ft 1 and GGG is not 5ft 11. I don't care what the "Stats" say, we know they're bollocks.
Jacobs is about 6 foot and I know that's a lot taller than Floyd, but Floyd makes up for that with his defensive skills , reactions and counter punching.
GGG is about 5ft 9 I would say. No doubt Floyd wouldn't have felt the power anything like GGG possessed , but I do believe he could avoid that for 12 rounds.

Regardless of an inch here or there, Jacobs is much bigger than Floyd (height and weight), I don't see how anything can be taken from him in comparison with Floyd. Apart from all the physical/style differences Jacobs had the power to make Golovkin wary of being countered, something little Floyd certainly doesn't have the benefit of.

Contrary to what some people here believe, Golovkin isn't some thick face first brawler that mindlessly chases bods around the ring all night. He's an absolute master at cutting the ring off and trapping fighters. He works off a constant jab.

Good luck to Floyd when he's trapped on the ropes, as many a weaker lesser talent frequently does to him, and his unable to wrestle the far bigger stronger man off as he's getting holes blasted all over his arms and torso.

I suppose maybe he could survive 12 rounds, he certainly ain't winning anything.
