Weight is important but Floyd should not come too heavy. There is a blueprint to defeat GGG, Floyd is capable of doing it, but details can't be discussed on forums :nono Floyd Mayweather reach 72" This content is protected 68.0" Andre Berto 67.0" Manny Pacquiao 69.0" Marcos Maidana 70.0" Saul Alvarez Canelo 70.0" Robert Guerrero 67.0" Miguel Cotto 70.0" Victor Ortiz 71.0" Shane Mosley 67.0" Juan Manuel Marquez 65.0" Ricky Hatton Intelligent Retirement during the era of the long wingspans 77.5" Paulie Williams; WBO 2007-2008 73.5" Antonio Margarito; WBO 2005-2006 & IBF/WBA 2008 Top ATG Welters Reach (Opponents outside Floyd 72" predatory range) @ 75.0" Charley Burley @ 74.0" Sugar Ray Leonard @ 72.5" Sugar Ray Robinson @ 72.5" Felix Trinidad @ 72.0" Emile Griffith @ 72.0" Jose Napoles Other Long Wingspan Welters @ 79.0" Willie Nelson @ 78.0" Thomas Hearns @ 77.0" Mike Breland @ 76.0" Guillermo Jones
we will never know as floyd is retired and is not coming back to face anyone as good as GGG. IMO GGG would get the TKO.
Floyd is waiting for: Pac vs Bradley Canelo vs Khan GGG vs Wade When these 3 fights are resolved, #50 fight will be made, one fight at a time From Floyd POV, GGG 70" reach makes this a winnable fight (which is not safe enough for Floyd, but if the reward is high he will take it)
atsch Utter Nonsense !!! Floyd doesn't need a PAYDAY... and other than $$$ that $$$ Floyd has nothing to gain by losing to GGG. GGG is 1. bigger than Floyd 2. much more powerful than Floyd 3. younger than Floyd 4. at his prime And Floyd couldn't depend on winning on the scorecards. Floyd wouldn't go the distance.
Based on what, I understand thats your feelings/guess, but you have to base your opinion on something more solid/scientific atsch The thread has a basis, Floyd always outboxes boxers (including HOF) with shorter reach GGG never faced Undefeated Ranked fighter Undefeated Champion Undefeated HOF Undefeated ATG Still GGG is already on the verge of securing his HOF spot, based on the historic 15-0-0-0 (KO 15) title defense KO streak. Its true that this fight will not harm GGG/Floyd legacy, because the winner will just move up on the ATG ranking, while the defeated maintains his ATG standing. (Floyd is old/small, while GGG loss will be dismissed vs a fighter who can't be defeated) GGG on his part needs to clean up 160 & keep the title defense KO streak, this fight will hand Floyd more $ than any past fight & for GGG its a safe low damage fight, it will not harm him physically to get outboxed by Floyd who simply has a longer reach than him & high level precision :think Floyd Mayweather reach 72" This content is protected 68.0" Andre Berto 67.0" Manny Pacquiao 69.0" Marcos Maidana 70.0" Saul Alvarez Canelo 70.0" Robert Guerrero 67.0" Miguel Cotto 70.0" Victor Ortiz 71.0" Shane Mosley 67.0" Juan Manuel Marquez 65.0" Ricky Hatton Intelligent Retirement during the era of the long wingspans 77.5" Paulie Williams; WBO 2007-2008 73.5" Antonio Margarito; WBO 2005-2006 & IBF/WBA 2008 Top ATG Welters Reach (Opponents outside Floyd 72" predatory range) @ 75.0" Charley Burley @ 74.0" Sugar Ray Leonard @ 72.5" Sugar Ray Robinson @ 72.5" Felix Trinidad @ 72.0" Emile Griffith @ 72.0" Jose Napoles Other Long Wingspan Welters @ 79.0" Willie Nelson @ 78.0" Thomas Hearns @ 77.0" Mike Breland @ 76.0" Guillermo Jones
Thomas Hearns had a chin/stamina stigma, while Floyd has excellent chin/stamina As of today Floyd is a slight favorite & time is not exactly on GGG side, even at 50 Floyd will still have a 72" reach & GGG will have a 70" reach
