    Ouma took more punishment in that one fight that Floyd has taken his entire career, it's not really telling us much.

    But you're right, he probably couldn't do it at 150, not sure he can make that at all. I'd like to see it at 154.

    The question was for a fight at 150. 10 pounds lighter than GGG's normal weight. I don't think he would be as strong because he would be extremely dehydrated. And in training he would have to focus more on losing weight than developing and praxcticing his gameplan.

    Moving up in weight, in my opinion, would mean that GGG would not need to focus on weight, but game plan and skills. Very important when fighting a master boxer. I would give him a better chance of fighting Ward at 168 for this reason.

    As a vetran fighter and master technician Mayweather would know that a GGG at 150 would be ripe for the picking. Noway he ducks this sort of fight if the money is there. Hell, at 150 I would expect Mayweather to KO GGG.

    150 catchweight :nono, get that catchweight **** outta here

    Floyd only fight his opponents at their best weight where they're comfortably not drained and hydrated.

    Next chapter in the Floyd hatin'.

    I've been following and praising GGG for the longest time on this site, but it's an unrealistic fight until Golovkin knocks Martinez, Chavez and one more out in spectacular style. Let's face it: Floyd's legacy is secured, and it's about the money now - if Garcia, already popular, knocks Mattysse out, he's 2 steps ahead of Golovkin, if Lukas knocks Garcia out then an Alexander/Khan, he's a step ahead of Golovkin.

    GGG needs the big fights and needs the big fights soon, but will the big names give them to him?

    gotcha, so weight is the focus. Well going up to 168 will make this all the harder, that's no preparation for dropping to 150

    Golovkin would never get any props from me if he ever fought and beat Floyd. I just don't give out those type of props.

    Exactly. He should not be trying to drop down to 150 at all. It is too much of a compromise. He would be better served fighting Ward at 168, because fighting Mayweather at 150 is a recipe for his demise. However to imply that Mayweather will duck GGG at 150 is ludicras.
