    GGG at 154 sounds credible enough, 152 more sketchy

    Mayweather vs. Golovkin at JMW is a pointless fight for Mayweather. The fight is only worthwhile for Floyd if he's willing to go up to MW.

    Agreed. Floyd only fights GGG if GGG beats Sergio in the meantime and he wants to chase history. There's nothing to gain by fighting a 152 Golovkin. At 155? Now he could get interested.

    Is 154 credible enough for Stevens though?

    "I may stay at 160. May relinquish the title and move down to 154. Who knows. My mind is only in one place and focusing on Gennady."

    I think he does KO him as well, it would just pain me to see it. Martinez had a good run. Dibella himself said GGG was the next champion, that he wouldn't put Sergio in with an "animal" like that in his return fight. KO'ing Martinez is just gravy as far as being #1 at 160, but again it's gravy that would leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

    Froch is most definitely another good fight... but while GGG fights Chavez Jr in the new year (please), I'm one of those who would like to see Ward demystify the Froch myth over in the UK, with the aura of invincibility he likes to talk about. Still one of the good fights at 168 IMO, even though the first one was wide.

    Stevens looks like a midget even at MW. I know he's come down a lot already, so it's just evidence that weight dropping is not always a bad idea.

    This would be utterly dumb!! Floyd can't hold 152 let alone 160, in each of his fight at 154, he makes it as high as 152 on the day of weigh in only to lose weight over night and come in at 148 or 149 and at 36 years of age, there is no way he is going to put on 15lb pound of muscle in less then a year to compete at 160 . Anything over 152 is above his functional limits. Besides let GGG create his path instead of trying to ride in on Floyd's name.

    Golovkin did say he would fight Void at 154, but I don't know how he could make such a weight. Golovkin does not have any fat on him to lose...........

    SOB Ward should fight Kovalev in neutral territory. Stevenson has called SOB out, but SOB is afraid of him. Ward will only fight in his home town with his personal referee, judges, commenators, etc.

    The cherrypicker won't fight GGG even if GGG fights at 147 and for free.

    Floyd won't fight anything remotely close to a legit threat ever again

    just look how terrified Phoney still is of a washed up Pacquiao who got KTFO recently ffs

    ¨i'm not gonna fight Pac, he has marquez problems and bradley problems to solve first, yadda yadda¨

    coward *****.
