    Therefore, Rios is NOT a natural @ 135, Jr is NOT a natural @ 160 and Floyd is NOT a natural 140.:deal

    Is this starting to sink in yet:hi:

    He can offer to fight him at 147 but he still won't be considered until PPV customers(Americans) know who he is and are emotionally invested in seeing him w. That means that, at the very least, he'll probably have to KO Sergio, Quillen and Jacobs.

    I'm sure Golovkin would fight Mayweather at 154. That would be his biggest payday. He'd also be going against a much smaller foe. Even if he lost, it won't hurt his stock as it's Mayweather and he could blame it on the weight anyway. The real question is, for what reason would Mayweather fight Golovkin?

    Absolutely none. The only....and I mean ONLY motivation Floyd would have for that fight is if Martinez beats Cotto, GGG beats Chavez and Martinez to build his name up, and the fight happens at 155 for GGG's middleweight title.

    And that would only get the possibility of the fight on the radar. Realistically, the fight's just not going to happen.

    GGG fought nothing but bums his whole career what a joke. He wouldn't win a round and FM not that GGG would actually fight someone on Floyds level. He fight another road sweeper next and call it a keep busy fight.

    Golovkin would knock the chicken/coward Void out, but Void will never fight him at 154 or at any weight.................

    Compare Martinez' fight with Macklin with Golovkin's fight with Macklin. Macklin gave Martinez pure Hell, finally the fight was stopped in the 11th round, but Macklin knocked Martinez down, was up on the cards, Golovkin stopped Macklin in the 3rd round, was easly for Golovkin. Golovkin is trying to get a fight with Martinez ASAP, as soon as Martinez knocks out Cotto, HBO will make that fight. Easy knock out for Golovkin. Void was afraid to fight Martinez at 154, Void is afraid to fight Golovkin at 154.............................not to mention Void's extreme fear of Pac which is a fact.............

    Haahhahahahahh man just beat Adama :rofl

    Unproven MW wanting to fight WW it makes sense only in ebs..

    Why don't your boy golovkin first move down to 154 and fight somebody with a name,after that we can talk again.

    And lifelong MW moving down in weight is almost unheard thing in boxing.usually all the greats move up not down :deal

    Mayweather fans do NOT want Floyd to be in competitive fights EVERYONE should know that by now.

    The few actual boxing fans on this site would love to see this happen.

    i'd love to watch someone push Floyd to the edge. I really don't see anyone doing that though unless he jumps up to 160

    You don't need to go any further than 154 and Erislandy Lara to find somebody that would most likely not only push Floyd to the edge, but beat him imo.

    what a bunch of idiots you guys are. So for Floyd to prove his greatness further, he must go up to divisions & outside his comfort zone to please keyboard warriors? Did folks ask marvin hagler to fight Michael spinks?

    it won't end there.
    once he gets by ggg people will claim he is ducking ward.
    floyd basically has to dethrone wald to shut up the haters, and even then they will claim wald was **** and he could never beat a real hw like tyson in his prime anyway :rofl
