    GGG struggled with Canelo's skills and was reduced throwing single punches and trying to win on work rate.

    He would struggle to hit FMJ worse than he struggled to hit Canelo.

    Because in 2013 he was 31 and hasn't seriously physically declined yet. Isn't this common sense?

    You GGG haters will definitely bring up age when Canelo becomes out of his prime and starts performing noticeably worse.

    :lol: Canelo actually has a punch to worry about. Floyd gets his girlfriend to crack the eggs for breakfast, because he doesn't have the power. Golovkin in any sort of fighting shape walks through midget Floyd.

    If Canelo gets dropped by Kova watch the excuses flow ;) Kovalev aged him, you see :D

    Exactly, there was a huge difference between Mayweather in 2013 when he fought Canelo and Mayweather the next year when he fought Maidana which was why Maidana nearly beat him. After he beat Canelo he obviously let his body get a little out of shape and he wasn't the same fighter when he fought Maidana. 2014 Mayweather the guy who fought Maidana would struggle vs GGG and might get hurt, but the 2013 ripped version who fought Canelo was damn near unbeatable, and would be a lot for GGG to handle. Mainly just with the upper body movement he used vs Canelo, the "pulling back" quickly he would make GGG miss like he made Canelo miss, only moreso. It would probably look similar to the first Canelo GGG fight with Mayweather being able to do some of what Canelo did to GGG in that first fight and win a close decision. But any version of Floyd after the 2013 version who fought Canelo was a declined slower Floyd and would have a tough time beating GGG at 160. The 2013 version of Floyd though probably finds a way to outpoint any version of GGG but it wouldn't be easy.

    Yeah, he's fighting a 36 year old Kovalev that got knocked out twice in the past 2 years, and almost got knocked out in his previous fight. What does that have to do with Floyd not fighting someone 2 divisions above him?

    All opinion now. Mine is no more correct than yours. GGG is not overrated though. That we cant agree on.

    That Floyd has no balls. Nothing you said refutes that. It's going to be hilarious when Ginger gets KTFO and Mayweather's best win loses its shine.

    I'm not even a big Mayweather fan anymore lmao, I recently said that Spence would body him and in their prime it's an outcome we don't know because we haven't seen a prime Errol. It's just funny how salty Mayweather haters are years later lmao, he's still living in your minds rent-free.

    I'm a hater because I think he loses to GGG? There are plenty of people on here who think he'd easily beat Golovkin and that's obviously not the case. If you think Mayweather loses to anyone around his weight class, you're a hater.

    And I actually disagree with you on Spence, I think Mayweather would have beaten him.

    I dunno , is this supposed to be impressive??

    How much Mexican beef is Clenelo consuming??

    There's a reason they announced this fight about 8wks out form fight night.... just two months of testing, he's already cycled off.

    Kovalev is no Rocky Fielding. This is a real test for Canelo. I think Canelo is going to lose and I will have some cash on Kovalev for sure.

    There is 0.0% chance that Canelo loses a decision to Kovalev. Not a snowballs chance in hell.

    He literally needs to finish the fight on this feet at the end of twelve and it's a UD.

    Mexican beef will keep a man on his feet against even a cruiserweight. Roids give you an incredible ability to take a punch man.

    You're a hater cause you made a moronic statement about how Mayweather never stepped into the ring with him for a reason as if fighters are obligated to look 2 divisions above them lmao.
