If Floyd fights and beats Triple G at 154, I will call him TBE.

    Golovkin has never had any trouble making 160.

    My point exactly. Canelo can't even make his own weight class, so he's got weight issues and the 152 catchweight against Floyd hurt him badly. Golovkin has more discipline and has never had trouble making 160, so I think he can make 154.

    Of course you wouldn't and you won't give him any if he beat GGG at 154 you would say GGG was drained or who has he ever beat? You're not fooling anyone troll. 118-110 let that sink in and deal with it.:hi:

    Floyd would easily beat GGG at a 152 catchweight, possibly even at 154. Floyd won't get much credit for beating a weight-drained GGG. It would be seen as just another Floyd-Canelo type fight.

    Anyway, Floyd said he doesn't care anymore about what the boxing public thinks should be his next bogeyman. Floyd said he'll end his career fighting whoever he wants.

    Floyd Sr. says his son can beat GGG which may be true, but he says Floyd Jr. shouldn't have to fight a giant, which is what Pacquiao has been doing for the later part of his career, thats the difference between Manny and Floyd Jr.

    I don't think this argument holds any weight. You're comparing 2 lbs to 6; Canelo struggling with weight is irrelevant to Golovkin.

    Both Floyd and Pacquiao have peaked in weight. They started at the same weight class but went pro at different times in their careers. Floyd fighting Golovkin is not the same as Pacquiao fighting Margarito.

    I think Floyd can probably beat Golovkin at 154. @ 160 Golovkin stops him though.

    So you're saying...

    Pacquiao to Mayweather = Mayweather to Golovkin?

    Fighting Golovkin at 154 is pointless. Sure, everyone would claim beforehand that it was such a tough fight for Mayweather. But then if he he outboxed him and won a clear decision, many people would just claim Golovkin was drained and that the fight was boring. Floyd pretty much has to go up to the MW limit and beat Golovkin in a toe to toe battle if he's looking for widespread praise. If he's looking for money, there's plenty to be made in easier fights.

    Top five, maybe but not no. 1. Armstrong held three belts simultaneously when there were only eight and Ray Robinson's record speaks for itself. I don't see how any modern fighter can move ahead of those two guys.
