    True. But beating GGG is much more difficult, thus the more impressive win.

    I hope he doesn't fight now (he won't anyway). GGG is unproven. Floyd could beat him and it may not even be that great of a victory.

    ggg is basically a flavor of the month type fighter....he's accomplished nothing. floyd beats him and all these jokers calling for the fight, are gonna be the ones next day talking about the win meant nothing because of ggg's lack of experience and how it proves even more now that floyd is a cherrypicker. floyd agreeing to fight ggg would be like asking an ugly girl on a date. if she says no, it looks bad being rejected by an ugly chick. if she says yes, you're walking out with an ugly chick on your arm.... pointless, really.

    2 very good wins, 2 of floyds best. Probably his 2 best wins since he has been fighting at welter or above

    GGG is Scar's new Calzaghe.

    The fact that he cites Rubio as Golovkin's best win tell you al you need to know about the dude's judgement.

    GGG is precieved as the most dangerous opponent that Floyd could face in the proximity of their respected weight classes.

    By defeating the guy that's flatlining anyone who steps in with him, and the top contenders are in no rush to face, Floyd would add a feather to his cap unlike any other accolade that he's ever accomplished.

    If Floyd beat GGG, I would give him mad respect, i would give him mad respect for even attempting to fight him win or LOSE. GGG knows how to box, his amateur record surpasses floyds own, plus they're both undefeated. The man is a great fighter. If Floyd wants to solidify his legacy, which I think he needs to do, because all of his wins were against fighters he was the favorite already to beat, which isn't that special obviously. But Floyd needs a fight like this to be truly great and rank high among the ATGs

    I have him top 5 ATG p4p for his win over broken shopworn Pac.

    Beating GGG would define his ATGness in a great way than it did SRLs.

    No one would dispute his being called TBE, especially if he won the MW title from GGG at even 155. :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

    Dude???????:think

    Do you believe Floyd would beat GGG at 155?

    Do you believe it would be fair for GGG to force Floyd to fight at 160?:think:think
