Mayweather vs GGG at 154

Floyd would’ve exploited him.

 

GGG’s bit basic, overall good but Floyd’s overall great by comparison just lacking in size here probably Floyd by UD.

 

That fight was floated as a realistic possibility. Golovkin was all for it but Floyd reversed so fast that he blew his gearbox. All that remains is the smoke of "easy work".

That tells me what the result would have been.

"Basic" GGG would have turned Floyd inside out and he knew it.

 

At 154? Floyd would out box him. But he would never get credit for beating GGG at 154 anyway. All people would say is he didn't have the balls to face him at middleweight and drained him.

 

This. 154 is too low for GGG.

 

Yeah because Floyd has a history of trying to fight guys "at their best" That would be a bonus in his eyes.

 

And they'd be extremely correct.

And I think so would you, Floyd fights him to a close decision, in one of those gutsy performances you don't expect to see from him.

 

I will concede that if GGG didn't handle the weight cut well, it could be a possibility. A bad weight cut turns good fighters into plodders.

 

GGG would be a sitting duck for the lead straight right hand.

 

Floyd would be a sitting duck for a beatdown.

 

This we don't know. Golovkin was confident he could have cut the weight no problem. Myself, I have my doubts it would have been that easy.

 

GGG was 168lbs fight night vs Proska, 170lbs vs Macklin and Monroe and 173lbs vs Rubio.

You'd want to choose an early GGG for this hypothetical match up, he was a little leaner and quicker then, the cut to 154lbs would be less severe, though he still wouldn't be the GGG we saw in the ring at 160lbs.
