    GGG had one of the best non telegraphed jabs in boxing that was like a ram rod. He'd land that on Mayweather all night, especially if this was a prime GGG.

    Same height as ODLH, GGG would be one of Mayweather's taller opponents and we already saw ODLH troubling Mayweather with weaker throwaway jabs. Hilarious for anyone thinking Mayweather would make GGG gun shy. Is the narrative now that GGG has a glass chin?

    It's true that Floyd wasn't the same mover at 154, but his movement was more than enough to limit the output of heavier, slower fighters. Aside from movement, he's also incredibly adept at slipping AND blocking punches. No one has ever combined the three aspects of defense like Floyd has.

    Canelo is boiling down to 154 to stop THAT guy? Really?

    If GGG was so exceptionally skilled, he should've found a way to beat Canelo convincingly when given multiple opportunities.

    Floyd was too small. His best chance of winning would be at 154.

    GGG had a 70 inch reach. Stop it. If Floyd wanted to take his jab away and just survive, there is nothing GGG could do to prevent that. Absolutely nothing.

    :lol: That's just a matter of styles clashing dude. Two guys who have sparred and no each other. But according to that logic, only Floyd and Bivol are exceptionally skilled then??

    Floyd wasn’t strong enough for Triple G. He knew that. No shame not fighting him. Triple G would walk through him bust him up for a tko 5

    Assuming Golovkin handles the weight cut then Floyd has nothing for him. His power couldn't bust a grape compared to dudes whose power GGG already walked through. People think that Floyd is gonna deter "hit me in the face you can't hurt me" Golovkin with potshots lmfao.

    when was mayweather trapped last time? i remember now, never
    floyd would have countered and pull countered golovkin to death
    if canelo beat ggg twice, belive me, floyd would have schooled him just like he did with maidana

    There isn't an alternate universe, dimension, or reality where Floyd would ever dare step foot in a ring with GGG and if by chance there is one out there somewhere, no matter how desperately his fans want and need to believe it, there sure as hell isn't one where he ever beats him. GGG would knock his head into the stratosphere.

    Just because The Catchweight King Floyd ''I’ve never fought a guy at a catchweight. I don’t fight guys at catchweights'' Mayweather beat Drainelo who was on a rabbit food diet, could only fight in spurts, and had to pull up a chair to sit down on at the weigh in, at a catchweight of 152 doesn't mean he could beat a much harder punching than Clenelo, let alone Drainelo, GGG. There's a reason why he would only fight Clenelo at a 152 catchweight and we only have to look at his previous comments regarding catchweights to know what it is.

    GGG has fought lots of slick fighters in the amateurs and he comes from a school Floyd never faced once in the pros and the pre-Sanchez trained GGG was even better and would've made 154 even easier. GGG throws very unorthodox combinations which are not easy to anticipate or read and that's one of the reasons crude caveman Maidana gave Floyd so many problems and beat him in the first fight in many people's eyes and GGG is much bigger, stronger, tougher, more skillful and powerful than Maidana.

    And like I said, GGG's jab alone would feel like the hardest right hand Floyd has ever felt. Harder than every shot which hurt or badly hurt him. And it will definitely land

    GGG is just way too big and powerful and like I said it's not Drainelo 152 power or PED free Sugar Shane 147 power or Manny or Maidana 147 power. GGG hits like a freaking big punching LHW in the body of a MW and when he lands, and you can keep deluding yourself that he's not going to but he will and when he does he's going to shatter Floyd's brittle chicken bones or knock him spark out and even his ramrod jab will fill Floyd's beady little pigeon eyes with shock. The same look of shock and terror we saw when Manny, Maidana, Shane, Chop Chop and Sugar ''Money Mac cracked Floyd on his whiskers and that's just from GGG jabs.

    Don't get me wrong, Floyd was a very good fighter, a first ballot all of famer IMO, but he and his fans didn't fire up the Bat Signal begging and pleading for Mr Have Gloves, Won't Travel filthy dirty serial cheat Big Daddy Dre (aka Deck-stacking Dre) to come to Floyd's rescue when GGG said he was willing to face the sport's cash cow, something which every fighter a division or two North or South of Floyd's division either did, wanted to or, or would've jumped at the opportunity to do

    Difference being unlike certain others who were 175 or 168 pounders GGG wasn't trying to get Floyd to move up to a weight division he'd never fought at before but for some strange reason they hated GGG for it. Obviously one of those reasons being deep down they knew he would send Floyd to the shadow realm :lol:
