    he is willing to fight Floyd at 154 and Ward at 168, say if this two boxers stop ducking him and take the challenge,

    Floyd vs GGG at 154, GGG has a good chance at stopping Floyd
    Ward vs GGG at 168, GGG has a good chance at stopping Ward..

    if he beats them both will he become P4P#1 and ATG?

    I don't think he beats either guy at either weight class.

    My guess is both Ward and Floyd give him a boxing lesson. I can't see any possible way that GGG would be able to cut off the ring with FLoyd. Only thing GGG has over Mayweather is his power, while FLoyd holds the advantage in pretty much every other facet of the boxing game (handspeed, footspeed, counterpunching, defense.)

    GGG holds absolutely no advantages though over Andre Ward. GGG should keep doing what he's doing- fight tomato cans and keep racking up victories on his hollow resume. He already has a brainwashed fanbase that buys into every one of his garbage fights.

    I have a feeling he may struggle when he steps up in weight with that frame. He does not look like a super-middleweight to me, at all. He'd had to be enormously dominant in order to become p4p #1 at middle, it's impossible to see that far ahead.

    So i'll say no. But i think he could spend a long time in the top five, maybe even get to #1 sort of by default at some point.

    Past-prime Cotto had a bit of success with that yet you don't think GGG could.:patsch

    "GGG is not worthy enough" will be Ward's answer.
    "I am a rich coward, you know" will be Mayweather's.

    @ ELCYCLON^^No, not at all.

    I have a theory about that Cotto fight. FLoyd was getting a lot of backlash and vitriol from his previous few fights leading up to Cotto. Many people including boxing pundits were complaining that Floyd "runs" too much in the ring.

    I think he made a concerted effort that fight to stand a lot more in the pocket and trade with Cotto rather than fighting the way he usually does. Regardless of his tactics or lack thereof, Cotto won at most 3 rounds that fight. It was another dominant performance by FLoyd where he received little credit for dispatching Cotto.

    The last 2 fights under his father's tutelage shows he's putting a great deal of emphasis with his defense and footwork.

    No way in HELL GGG would be able to cut the ring off on Floyd. I don't think you understand what would happen if a MW fights FLoyd, the bigger they are, the slower they look in the ring when they face FLoyd.

    the only thing GGG has over Mayweather is power. He holds absolutely no other advantages besides that and I don't think you'd argue with that statement unless you hold some sort of bias disposition.

    I dont know if GGG is willing to change weight divisions for those fights but he shouldnt be expected to have to go up and down divisions for his career. He has fights in his own division that can hopefully be made, he has Martinez, Quillin, Sturm, Murray, Geale, Korobov if Pirog comes back that could be a good match up, Lemieux would hold interest as a big puncher. There MW (his division) first

    Simple answer. NO. Because he'll never ever get the opportunity to
    achieve it. These racist GGG haters keep bashing his opposition when
    they know good and well that it's either adama or the couch. He'd be
    #3 p4p right now if chickensh.it Sergio was a real champ and he defended
    his title. Only Ward should be the favorite to win a match from 160-168.
    GGG beats all others and smart boxing aficianados see it. Sadly, there's
    only a tiny contingency of us left on ESB.

    I would like to see GGG v Canelo at some point in the future.

    Hopefully this year he knocks out Quillin and Geale.

    I don't know how they can do the Quillin fight with the cold war going on. But i can always hope.

    GGG is better than any fighter FLoyd has ever faced. And YES, that includes the 2007 version of DLH. GGG stops FLoyd.

    But don't worry Floyd would never consider this match-up so it's all moot!

    Thats a bit negative. How can you possibly say that when he hasn't even lost a fight?

    Let him take each fight as it comes and face better opponents each time.

    I personally don't think he could beat either fighter either, but one thing i will say is he is entertaining as f*@k to watch. Surely whats why you watch boxing, right? And surely thats why he has such a "brainwashed fanbase" as you put it. We all love to watch him fight, and i bet you do to.

    If he did both of the above, he would obviously be the #1.

    And while I think he beats both Ward and Mayweather at 160, I have him as an underdog against Floyd at 154 and also an underdog facing Ward at 168.

    Besides, we still need to see him against the very best at 160.
