What exactly does Golovkin have to beat Mayweather?

GoodOldBoy · Sep 16, 2013

Mayweather should stay at welterweight or go down to junior welterweight, he should Not start fighting middleweights or supermiddleweights.

Seriously, what does he have going for him that people actually give him the edge over the undisputed P4P #1? I asked a fuming butthurt Mayweather hater earlier tonight which departments Golovkin bests Mayweather in and his answer was rather unsatisfactory but maybe you could give it a try yourself:

- Technique
- Power
- Accuracy
- Defense
- Head movement
- Foot movement
- Ring Generalship
- Chin

I don't think anybody can claim with a straight face Golovkin beats him in anything but power and perhaps chin (which is still an unknown quantity on Money). Also, people seem to casually assume that Golovkin at 154 hits exactly as hard as at MW which doesn't sound overly likely.
But honestly, what does Golovkin have that other boxer who have failed against Mayweather didn't have that he's supposed to succeed so easily? Power? When was power ever a factor facing Mayweather? You think if Mosley or Canelo had hit even harder, they would've won their fights? The problem is that neither of them landed a single meaningful flush shot all night and PLEASE explain to me how Golovkin is gonna lay a glove on Mayweather when P4P boxers haven't been able to touch him once (think Marquez for example) for YEARS.

If this fight were to take place at 154, I'd be ****ing shocked if Mayweather lost a round let alone the entire fight. There's absolutely NOTHING that hints at a Golovkin win and the fact that people are dickriding a boxer who has a meaningless resume while slacking off a young champion who has names like Austin Trout on his resume and who was rightfully way ahead of Golovkin on the P4P rankings.

Erm, did I imagine the 2nd round of PBF/Mosley?
