    We're not talking about roided concrete slabs here like Clenelo. Floyd's power shots are like being hit with balloons filled w/ saline.

    I really don't think GGG could land cleanly in my opinion. I can't see GGG wining on the cards for sure. The Jacobs and Canelo fights were very close. If he does land a few clean shots that could alter things.

    GGG wouldn't bother headhunting. He would just break Floyd's shoulder w/ power shots and force a quit.

    No. And there's nothing wrong with that.

    That's probably his best shot. Just keep on throwing. He is not going to outbox Mayweather.

    Yes, he could - To a point. But he doesn't have the power to keep GGG off of him. GGG KOs him late.

    Lol, no. Golovkin wouldn't be bothered at all by Floyd's punches and would walk right through him.

    The problem is people keep saying "X" can walk through Mayweather's punches and take him out. Never happened, never will.

    Pacquiao coudln't walk through them
    Canelo couldn't
    Cotto couldn't

    No one could.

    End of.

    He punches harder than people seem to think. A lot harder.

    Because Floyd have no upper body movement or he'll stand in one place long enough to get constantly hit in the shoulder?

    No i doubt he could but it would be asking a bit much. I know there is an overlap with Canelo but Floyd is or was no Middleweight. I felt 147 was as far as his body could manage without it starting to take something off his speed and style.
