    GGG is a small mw

    and Floyds highest ever weight was when he dragged his "Undisclosed" middleweight ass in vs Marquez

    Floyd will lower GGG punch out put,then when GGG slows down Floyd would start throwing combos.. Think how fast Pac is,and could not land enough significant punches to win no more than 1-2 rounds.

    SO he's somehow a coward for not venturing up into a 6th weight class at 38 years old and taking on the best MW in the division?

    I know he's a very polarizing figure in the sport and people would really like to see him lose before he retires, but this is asking a bit too much from him. If he was in his late 20's/early 30's, than I could see this as being more realistic. But not at this stage of his career; the risk is way too high and the reward way too low.

    Monroe Jr, Rubio, Geale and Macklin are 5´10 just like Golovkin?

    Golovkin is 2´1/2 inches taller, 15+ pounds bigger and 5 years younger. The only advanage Floyd has is his reach.
    How is this a reasonable matchup, even at 154?

    The thing is I can't remember Floyd entering the ring as an underdog, taking up a real challenge. That is what an ATG should do. Like



    - Leonard did with Hagler
    - Toney did with Jirov
    - Hearns did with Hill
    - Duran did with Hagler
    - Whitaker did with Trinidad etc etc




    See Floyd is a young 38 year old. He does not take punishment.

    Here go the haters moving the goalposts again. After years of saying that Pac was the penultimate challenge and that Floyd would have an asterisk if he didn't fight him, Floyd schools him, and now he needs to fight a middleweight lol. This id why Floyd diesnt give a **** you guys. No credit no matter what.

    LOL

    Floyd was a clear betting favourite over Pac. He should have fought Pac 6 years ago. Floyd needs to take up a real challenge, a fight where he enters 50-50 or an underdog.

    PBF has nothing left to prove to be honest he could have retired after he gave #48 a boxing lesson. He's 38 and has one fight left. Tell GGG to fight Ward.:deal

    That's how good PBF is dummy, no fighter in the sport right now would be favored over him 154 and down.:deal You can't blame PBF for being that good.
