    Canelo ate up GGG's punches all night long. Could Floyd take GGG's punches?

    No, Canelo didn`t take that much punishment because he had the power to keep GGG off and Floyd would be much more defensive, he didn`t throw as many combo`s as Canelo does, plus Alvarez is a natural light middle whereas Floyd started at super feather, you can see Canelo`s body looks far stronger than Floyd`s soft fleshed out build vs Conor and that wasn`t even middleweight, we will never know whether Floyd could have taken the shots that Canelo took but Floyd has never been hit by a power punching middle, Mosley hurt Floyd and that was at welter.

    Mosley's power punch = GGG's jab

    Floyd's head = Row 69

    Flush punches? Not many people could.

    Rolling with them, for a while...

    He has to be able to hit him flush enough to find out. Not easy to do especially since GGG would be one of the slowest fighters PBF ever fought.

    Mayweather is a welterweight lmao. He's do worse than Brook.

    That doesn't make Brook or Canelo or any bigger better. It's just that they're bigger so they have a natural higher punch resistance.

    I am not sure GGG would notice he was hit.

    Flush shots to the head, probably not.

    Going by the FACT that Brooks uppercut lifted him of the canvas it seems that smaller fighters can do what MWs & LHWs can’t, Floyd would K him TFO no worries. Probably Floyd would make the fight leading up to KO seem as effortless as Maidana 1, too.

    noone can take a GGG punch, what a dumb question . theywould level anyone if they land flush.

    Wat you mean is can he dodge them well enough. Answer, given he has ATG evasion, slickness and countering, then probably yes.
