    Fair enough but GGG is 2 weight classes above him.

    Since Maidana was 165 on fight night, they can make that a rehydration limit for GGG, since he didn't have that hard of a time with Chino.:hey

    No one...stay retired. I don't see anyone at 147 beating him. Nothing left to prove in my book. If he wants to come back for 50 ok fine...I'd say Brook or the winner of Thruman vs Porter.

    I dont see why not.. His Fans seem to think hes a natural Jr MW anyways.. Truth is why i didnt list GGG in the poll was because he brings no money to the table.. Bradley makes more money then GGG and is the most Viable option for Floyd at 147.

    Nothing left to prove. The only viable options are guys he already beat. Bradley would be a good option, but he isn't a big enough name.

    IF there was a way in which they could make a fight with GGG at 154 then that would of course be the most exciting match to make. Though GGG is currently 1 weight class above where Floyd was boxing at Jr. Middleweight, it's not unrealistic to see people who are only separated by 1 class fighting it out (and as the WBC 154 champ, he was a Jr. Middleweight).

    If Floyd took and won this fight, he would have a very strong case for being top 3 ATG. As it stands he could stay retired and remain a top 20 ATG, no shame in that. But the real greats took the biggest risks - and this would be Floyd's chance to prove that he realliy is TBE if that is what he so believes.

    In any case, I think GGG would KO Floyd - being realistic.

    I want it as a GGG fan. If I was a Floyd fan, I'd be strongly against this fight. It is literally suicide.

    I didn't vote because none of those fights are interesting to me. Manny is washed up, Bradley is too feather-fisted to hurt Floyd and thus would not be able to establish ring generalship, and Canelo is too limited and would most likely do as poorly as he did the first time.

    At this point based on the ratings they garner GGG brings as much if not more money to the table that Timmeh.

    GGG got 2 mill for a PPV fight, Tim got what 5 mill for an HBO WCB telecast against Rios.

    GGG-Lemieux did 150k In ppv, Bradley-Marquez did 350k...

    Without question. Plus, there is the added prestige element of testing yourself against the man that everyone considers the best and biggest challenge. FLoyd would rightfully be favoured over Bradley, so wouldn't garner anything like the same kudos for beating him.

    GGG-Monroe Jr. of all matches got bigger ratings for HBO than Bradley-Rios, I don't care what they're paid, that should tell you who the bigger draw is.

    So then he doesnt bring more to the table then Bradley... GGG would bring no money to the equation. In H2H Headlining PPVs Who had more PPv buys, GGG or Bradley?
