This. Floyd even at 36 years old would beat GGG to the punch almost every time and his footwork and defense would neutralize GGG's power.
I voted GGG by KO but this entirely comes down to whether he can handle the weight loss without being drained to death. If Golovkin is a corpse on fight night it's quite possible that Floyd runs rings around him and outpoints him. If GGG can handle the weight drop and is anything like his normal self I can't see how Floyd wins. Golovkin is great at cutting the ring and walks through guys with no power - which is what Floyd is. At 160 GGG wins and there's no debate.
Floyd, he deserves more praise then he gets too. People always back ggg because he's a good guy but Floyd kept winning up until he was 39, where ggg ( in my opinion) got found out in first Canelo and convincingly beat 2nd
Yes, Golovkin can’t box that’s why he is an Olympic silver medalist and amateur world champion. I think Mayweather beats Kovalev too. And Loma is ducking Gervonta. These “Russians” are only hypejobs
What a way to reach. Nobody said GGG isn’t immensely talented, since he’s clearly one of the best guys in boxing today, but styles make fights. Floyd is simply a bad style matchup for GGG and the people that handled GGG knew it. While Kovalev on the other hand has very good hand speed and a tricky right hand that I can see him eventually sneaking in on Floyd. Also, Loma would school Davis and maybe even stop him, since Loma’s too experienced and Davis makes too many mistakes. Besides Mikey I don’t see anybody at 135 or 140 as a real threat for Loma.
This is about time when Floyd had a really close fight with Maidana. I can't see him winning over GGG.
“Who gives a **** about the amatures doe! They dont count!!! It aint da pros!!!” “B.. Bu.. But Loma had 400 hundred amature fights!! So he really wasnt only 1-0 when he got his ass beat by Salido. What low blows? Quit whining.” “Who gives a **** about Salido extra weight in that fight! Excuses Excuses. Loma is his son! Hur hur derp.” “Rigo was outweighed by Loma doe!!!”
Golovkin offered to go to 154 for Floyd and Floyd blew him off, despite all the #easywork claims and fakery that PBF liked to spout. It's clear that Floyd was deeply bothered by the kudos GGG was getting and hated it. If Floyd thought he'd stand a chance he'd have fought Golovkin. Fact is, Golovkin is not only a crappy style matchup for Floyd, but is also much bigger. It's clear that Golovkin is a step too far for Floyd. There's only one winner in a fight between them where Golovkin is not drained to death.
