    i would say golovkin style is potentially more exiting but right now none of golovkin fights exited me more than Floyd fights because of the opposition faced!

    ggg power fascinate me but i must say im a big fan of speed.

    One is an intelligent stalking power puncher who also is a great boxer.
    The other is an intelligent potshoting counterpuncher who generally nullifies his opponents abilities and makes them fight his pace.

    Both are exciting in different ways, but yeah for sheer adrenaline pumping action, its GGG.

    GGG is like Lethal Weapon

    Floyd is like the Godfather.

    Both classics. One Is A Straight In Your face Shooter, The other takes it's time, but by the end of the movie you appreciate the hell out of it.

    I should hope so given the fact that Mayweather is two divisions smaller than him.

    Guerrero had two good wins at the weight before fighting Mayweather, and most see that as a mediocre win for Floyd. Marquez did jump two weight classes to fight Mayweather, but he's seen as a good win by most because he holds the only convincing victory in four fights with Pacquiao.

    Floyd faught him when he made him jump two weights , manny faucet him when he was more settled at the weight

    If that's the case them how come Chris john never got on a p4p list his win over Marquez is more impressive

    GGG I actually find kind of boring, he's very methodical and emotionless like a cyborg, I don't get drawn into his fights, because is he is the offensive antithesis of Floyd.

    Floyd bores people because he is so good defensively, but GGG opponents offers no threat so he becomes boring because of how good offensively he is.
    So its actually a compliment that I find him boring.

    They are both so good most of their fights lack drama, so you don't get emotionally invested.

    He went back down to LW after losing to Mayweather and had exactly zero fights at WW before going back up to fight Pacquiao.

    John won a close decision over Marquez. Mayweather basically shut him out. Plus John spent most of his career hiding out in Indonesia fighting a bunch of cans.
