    There's a chance Floyd can box circles around him but this would be an intriguing match up with a defensive wizard vs an offensive wizard. The runner who's next to impossible to pin down, vs the guy who is next to impossible to get away from. Its really a shame we don't get to see that fight. If Floyd even fought this guy, it would pretty well erase all the negativity for me surrounding him being a cherry picker. And win or lose, I would finally have respect for him, and probably more respect that I used to have for him the first half off his career, when he really fought hard and took on some decent opponents. I really wouldn't make GGG a sure thing to beat Floyd, no way. I think its a 50/50 fight, maybe 60/40 GGG. I do believe GGG can hurt floyd anywhere, but it really comes down to the question if he can really even hit him. GGG isn't quick, but he is great at timing, but timing Floyd is a whole different animal.

    Dude, Golovkin is too big. He wouldn't even have to land cleanly to hurt him. Golovkin would bash his shoulders and arms. It wouldn't be pretty. As Kellerman said, "There would be fist-sized holes in Floyd's body."

    Mayweather has nothing for Golovkin in terms of power, and we've seen what he's done to people much bigger than him. Including how GGG can cut off the ring like no other... It wouldn't be pretty at all. What could Floyd do? Clinch? Come on... This isn't Maidana.

    Plus, you saw how much Floyd was on the ropes against Pacquiao. He can't remain in the center of the ring like he used to. He wouldn't be able to take a rest against GGG. This is a guy much larger guy who'll rehydrate to 170 and has heavyweight power. Just stop. He's too big.

    Mayweather is a clear roider and an absolute disgrace to the sport of boxing.

    Yes. For definate. Obviously dependant how the fight goes. I still say the pair of them give him a very good fight. I think golvokin wins both but he goes through a tough fight with either. I actually think golvokins gonna come unstuck soon. I dont think he takes them punches as well as people think plus his stamina looks slightly suspect

    Some good points in there. One thing i totally disagree with tho is mayweathers power. I dont know why people dont get it yet after 49 fights but mayweathers power is up there with anyone. Thats actuallya part of his secret to his success. It wouldnt work without power
    Mayweather hits harder than most. Dont listen to what they say look at how they re act. He pretty much shut pacman down after the first round. Pretty much anyone else were stopped in their tracks. Mayweather hits plenty hard. He just doesnt take the risk to go for the knockout. But hits hard enough to discourage you. How people cant see that after this many victories is astounding. Floyd not having power is one of the biggest myths in boxing.

    Wow. Max Kellerman, an HBO employee, hyping an HBO fighter. Fascinating. He is not an invincible fighter who's flaws are impossible to exploit. He's yet to fight any elite fighter

    Deal with what? Mayweather shamelessly ducking Kell Brook to fight journeyman Berto.

    Froid the medic Mayweather is not on PEDs how dare you accuse him when his cleaning up the sports. :mad:

    Those are multivitamins that froid sr prescribe with the help from usada. They're super rare vitamins that can make you feel younger, stronger and faster. :hat

    Mayweather also mastered the art of medicine, whitch clearly help him from his fight with the legendary and most dangerous opponent he face ATG Andre Berto :bbb
