    Pretty much. Floyd beat the only guy he needed to beat for "legacy" and will be looking for wind-down fights.

    GGG is a true middleweight. Floyd weight was 146. He could fight at 140 if he wanted in the same way GGG can fight at 154. Who would want to see Floyd against a 140er right now? Nobody.

    GGG beats Floyd on size advantage. GGG is 2X better than Maidana and you saw what Maidana's size and crude style did to Floyd. Easy win for GGG if not by KO. A great big man beats a great small man.

    We should be calling for GGG v Kovalev, GGG v Ward, GGG v Froch ... GGG should be the one seeking out bigger guys and seeking out multiple division titles. He's still in his prime where Floyd is close to retiring.

    Floyd didn't make JMM do anything. JMM is the one who asked for the fight. Why wouldn't you accept it as Floyd? He obviously wasn't in form having just returned from a layoff. There was no title on the line.

    For money I think He will take the fight sadly for Him He will be weak, (GGG never in His career had been close to 154lbs) and will lose to Floyd by UD. Naturally GGG is slow fighter a weak GGG is will be even slower like Angulo in His fight with Canelo and will not catch a jab and run Floyd.

    Exactly like that. Are you being argumentative?

    he isn't trying to fight smaller fighters, but answering a journalist's questions. he's trying to fight the best in his division and has been for a few years, he just isn't getting many takers.

    When a fighter who can hypothetically make the weight is asked if they would take a Floyd/Manny opportunity/payday, the answer is invariably yes. Not sure how/why anyone makes a big deal out of it.

    The fight wont happen. Not unless Floyd decides he wants to try and surpass SRL. Chances are he just rematches Manny for another boat of cash and retires. Old topic, move on, nothing to see here.

    Floyd can avoid anybody for 12 rounds. He could win this fight on points.

    Not if they both make the 154 lbs limit. And they say floyd wouldn't have troubles with that.

    Which i doubt, because he was bigger than madina and as big as canelo.

    GGG weighed in at 159. I think it's possible that he could fight at 154 and rehydrate.

    Floyd isn't going to fight him so it's a moot point.
