    Like so many of Floyd's (and Wlad's) opponents, some opponets are considered titans until they get into the ring with Wlad/Floyd then when they get beat then it's "oh well they were just a hype job to begin with".
    Floyd won titles in 5 divisions, let GGG do that!

    Or perhaps Floyd will just be happy with his billion dollar$ and leave the legacy building for someone else.

    Many of you just want to see Mayweather lose. It's crazy for him to go up and fight GGG, even though I strongly feel that GGG has not been really tested as of yet, and I think the media has a lot more to do with it, but it is what it is. Im sure he hits hard, but didn't Pacquiao. GGG, should be calling out the big names in the division or the lower ranked guys in a higher division. Why fight a guys who can easily make 140, 3 weight classes lower.

    :deal:

    GGG has fought nobody near the skilll level of Floyd, Floyd wins and GGG is "a bum that hasnt fought anyone"

    GGG wins "Floyd loses his first big challenge"

    If Floyd fought GGG we would all hear how he needs to step up and fight Ward/Kovalev and then would he be considered great.

    Was it crazy for Duran to fight Barkley? Was it crazy for Toney to fight Jirov and Peter?

    Not sure about that... And when you claim to TBE...:deal

    Well by this logic Hagler must not have been very good because he never "challenged" himself by going up in weights...right?

    he already challenged himself and overcame his fears by fighting Pacquiao

    Also there will be excuses anyway if he beats ggg. boring fight, drained,run,hug, green, ref, judges,gloves,usada,heredia,ariza, shot ,hypejob,etc,etc,etc...

    Nice try. :roll:

    Hagler beat ATGs at middleweight. His resume is stronger than Floyd's. No need to move up to cement his legacy.

    If so called "TBE" wants to be considered a TOP 15 ATG ,he needs to beat somebody like GGG. End of story.Guys like Toney or Duran have done it before.

    I actually think Mayweather could beat GGG rather easily. He should fight GGG.

    All the morons saying he nees to fight GGG before they give him credit are the same idiots who were saying he was afraid of Pac and that he had to fight him or have an asterisk next to his name. Now that their hero got schooled, they give him no credit and have created a new boogeyman. Floyd has already proven himself TBE of this generation and doesn't have to prove **** to a bunch of assclowns who won't give him credit no matter what.

    If you think GGG will knock Floyd out do easily, why do you want to see it? That would be a waste of money to watch a guy get koed in one round by a few punches.. You talk about boring fights, then you suggest a MW fight a WW that you and many others think will be a ko 1...

    Legacy. At this point Floyd is up there with SRR, Armstrong, and others.

    He's by easily the greatest fighter in the last 30-40 years.
