    Who GGG?

    Someone asks him a question, he gives an honest answer and that makes him full of **** how?

    There should be no reason he couldn't make 154 or even 152 as he's a relatively small MW and fights lighter than 'Nelo or Trout already. How he'd perform at that weight or whether he'd win wasn't what he was asked, but even if he believed he would win it still doesn't make him full of ****.

    GGG is not trying to fight FMJ ffs. He has never called Floyd out.:roll: How many times?

    He's said the fight is impossible...IT CAN'T HAPPEN.

    The thing is people keep asking GGG 'bout it - could he...? would he....? etc.

    He's said it ain't gonna happen but what's he supposed to do when people ask these questions? Yes he could make 154 even 152, yes he would take the fight if it was offered.

    Is it sacrilege for him to answer the questions put to him?

    It seems to me a lot of Floyd fans get unreasonably upset over this non-event. The vast majority of GGG fans are looking for him to clear out MW then move up, not down. The interesting fights are Maravilla, (Quillin if he was available), Murray, Bika, Chavez Jr (both for the beating and the payday), Froch, Ward etc., not the guys at 154 ('less Cotto were to beat Maravilla for the MW lineal of course).

    All talk, using Mayweather's name to give himself some free publicity.

    Whom, GGG or Stevens? They were both asked the same question re. Floyd by an online fan, unless you think it was all a set-up?

    I notice how no-one seems to be jumping on Stevens despite him also saying he could do it however.

    Ward's next fight is not in Ward's hometown.

    Even JCC would drain himself to 152 to have a good payday fight with Floyd. :)

    If 3G will be the Ring, the WBA and the WBC MW champion before Floyd retires, I can see this fight happening @ catchweight above 154 lbs, as Floyd last fight before his retirement !

    Also I think Canelo will move up @ 160 and a fight between him and 3G would be awesome.

    JCC, Froch and Ward also are interesting fights for 3G @ 168 .

    Why do you go on about the "regular" belt? Is there another WBA MW champ that's more legit?

    point is, there should only be 1 WBA champ period, not 3 :lol:
    point is, he has the worst title of all 4 organizations
    point is, he isnt even the best in his division but calls out junior middles once again....why not clean up own weight division (or at least the WBA) or or mess with the 168 pound class and leave the little guys alone for a change

    :good

    You got a people like hopkins that fights at 175 calling people out that's in the 147-154 division. You have people asking if GGG would drop down in weight to face Floyd. It get's to the point where this is getting sad and it all comes down to money and Floyd is where the $$$ is at.

    In Hopkins' defense, he was asked by a Showtime exec if he could get down to 160 for a fight with Mayweather.
