    Thanks. That's what I always said, Floyd was awarded the decision by corrupt judges.

    Floyd is a top 50 all time fighter so he gets respect but he will never be considered top ten unless you are one of his die hard fans.


    :hat

    Why won't GGG keep Floyd's name out of his mouth? :huh He should be chasing Ward if he wants to prove how good he is instead of a smaller fighter. Floyd isn't talking about GGG out of the blue, he was asked about it.

    Golovkin is totally irrelevant at this point. His biggest win is Rubio for crying out loud.

    How in the hell is he "totally irrelevant"? He is considered one of the most exciting fighters out there and plenty of people have him in their PFP list based on how dominant he's looked. And a fight vs GGG would elevate FLoyd's status like no other current opponent can. SMH

    Irrelevant in the grand scope of things. Beating ggg doesnt do anything for floyd. As it stands ggg hasnt done anything significant in the sport

    Ortiz, Guerrero and now Berto: great opponents
    GGG: nobody

    Floydette logic at its best.

    Who was Guerrero's biggest win? Who was Ortiz's? Who was Maidana's? and NONE of those guys were on a P4P list, or had a bigger name than GGG does right now, so stop the bs. You sound ridiculous. If Golovkin were so irrelevant, then why are people asking him if Floyd would fight GGG next? GGG is one of the hottest fighters right now.

    As I said, I am not clamoring for Floyd to fight GGG...but if he's going to tell people he can easily beat him and talk sh*t about him, then fans have every right to demand it. Golovkin would decimate Mayweather at this point in Floyd's career. He would NOT see the final bell.

    I think it will, but not as long as he's active, and probablly not until the generation after him starts to fill out. I Feel like, as time progresses, people are going to acknowledge that the guys fighting now, yeah, they're good, but they're no Floyd Mayweather, and the dumb narratives surrounding his resume built up and repreated by pacquiao fans will be forgotten and his career will be appreciated.

    Look back on it a few years after the guy is gone, it''s the only way to get any kind of clarity on someone's career.

    Ignore Scar

    He's a GGG hater and never has a nice thing to say about him (or anybody for that matter)


    And for sure, Floyd is an absolute coward. A puss who deserves to remembered as such

    It's not the opponents that frustrate me, it's the timing of him fighting opponents. He picks them at the absolute worst time. Shot, almost shot, completely disadvantaged while declaring "even playing field". It's aggravating. That's why it was so annoying to hear him say over and over again during may/pac promotion, "This fight is about...timing. It's the right time." It only affirmed what he knew and what everyone else new. The Mayweather/Pacquiao fight we wanted was gone. The fight the world clamored for disappeared after 2009-2011 and we were left with a shadow of what could've been.

    Then when it's all over, he cries because he didn't get credit or respect. I swear, it's an endless cycle with him.
