    Poll seems to be 50/50 so far...

    Even at 155lb though?
    That would have a serious effect on GGG at 37/38 & that is comfortable weight for Floyd or just too much for the old lion huh?

    Mayweather by clear and easy UD. If Jacobs was able to look like Muhammad Ali against Golovkin, then imagine how Mayweather would look.

    That "monster" was rocked and stunned by a blown up Welterweight in the first round. :lol:

    GGG can't make 155 safely anymore, especially in 2020. I think he'd turn up dry & get stopped late by a barrage of punches.

    Brook is a natural light middle and much bigger and more muscled than Floyd was, plus he came up from 147 Floyd started at super feather, no super feather could hurt GGG.

    Floyd couldn`t take all the shots Jacobs could and doesn`t have his reach.

    In that case, I have no idea. We don’t even know if Floyd can fight anymore. He’s in good shape but is really old. GGG looks slow and faded. GGG looked bad versus DChenko and his years are catching up to him. I’d go with GGG because he’s active and Floyd is in his 40’s. I’m mainly interested in seeing prime guys fight and these guys are pretty far from prime, even GGG.

    He doesn't need to hurt him, all he needs to do is outpoint and outskill him. That won't be difficult for Mayweather to do. Brook is a blown up Welterweight that stunned Golovkin with a single shot in the opening round. What's even more insulting is that this was Golovkin's biggest fight before facing Alvarez.

    Mayweather won't have to take the shots Jacobs took. Even if he did, he will take them just fine as he has proven punch resistance against ATG quality opposition. That said, Golovkin's power is comically overrated. Name one HOF or ATG quality opponent he knocked out his entire career.

    That's the least you would expect from a full fledged Middleweight fighting a blown up Welterweight. Brook was on a career suicide mission and Golovkin was shameless enough to give it to him.

    yeah, but I feel about as sorry for brook as I do for Khan vs Canelo or Mikey vs Spence.

    khan & brook should have been fighting each other anyway!

    Maybe I'm going off-topic here, but I'll have to get this in anyway. I can't really compare Khan vs Alvarez to Brook vs Golovkin. Alvarez had serious fights prior to getting that payday. Brook was Golovkin's biggest fight. A completely disgraceful difference there.

    I do fully agree that Khan vs Brook should have fought. That's a fight I wouldn't have missed.
