    When has Floyd said anything about going up to middleweight?

    What would be the point of this? I mean, don't get me wrong, if Floyd fought GGG, I would give him a lot of credit if he wins or loses, but there is no reason for Floyd to fight GGG.

    It's way too dangerous.

    The only person Floyd NEEDS to fight is Pacquaio because he talked all that **** about him and tried to ruin his reputation.

    He owes Pacquiao a fight.

    Other than that, Mayweather can fight whomever he wants.

    But GGG?

    That's asking too much.

    Ggg said he would come down to 154 where floyds champion

    The only two fights floyd should take are pacman and ggg

    People want to see fighters challenged it's how you prove your greatness

    Ray Robinson went all the way up to light heavyweight and almost won the title there he didn't have to but he did it for the challenge and his legacy

    Same reason people want to see rigo move up and fight fheaterweights, ggg to move up to 168, ward to move up to 175 and so on


    People don't want to see the p4p number one fighting a limited brawler they wan to see him fight the best

    Duckweather thinks he is the best ever...............henry armstrong is much smaller then duckweather and he fought a killer at 160.............

    I can't be on board asking Floyd to fight GGG. At the end of the day, Floyd is a 38 year old man.

    Granted, Hopkins takes those types of challenges, but Hopkins is one of a kind.

    People want to see this fight because they want to see Mayweather brutally KO'd.

    It's all about people wanting to see him get taken down a peg. They hate him and his big mouth and want to see him humbled. It's a simple as that.

    No chance 38 year old PBF accepts this fight though. I mean the other middleweight champs are all running for the hills so what chance have we got of a fading welterweight stepping up to fight him?

    I'm thinking floyd would take that fight...but the moment he signs the contract it's gonna be the same story as with the canelo fight, and people are gonna say that floyd is only fighting GGG because floyd KNOWS he can beat him. Then when floyd exposes and embarrasses GGG, the same criticism he got from the canelo fight which was that he beat a relatively inexperienced guy....thing is, GGG would weigh in at 154, but he would hydrate up to 180 on fight night and floyd would STILL hand him his a88 and in the end floyd would get no credit as usual.

    The real question isn't why floyd isn't fighting GGG?... the real question is, why doesn't GGG fight Klitchko? Is GGG ducking Wlad?

    Floyd would beat him if they were the same size but they're not, ggg is too big for him period. He'd get bullied around the ring similar to what maidana did for a few rounds, difference is ggg is very accurate. I can't see Floyd or anyone his size being able to handle the abuse ggg delivers.

    GGG wasn't that accurate against geale...and floyd has taken the best shots from guys like canelo, etc. Floyd would circle GGG, give him angles and counterpunch him...and Floyd has power too. It's not like floyd is a flyweight.

    Nope, the real question is, how **** is your question?

    Why won't Floyd (lineal champ of 154) fight GGG who is the "unofficial" man at 160 (one division above) fight at the lineal champ's weight of 154.

    Simple as that, comparing GGG fighting Wlad isn't the same.

    However WARD saying he would fight GGG at 160 and GGG refusing, would be he same thing

    Don't you know Floyd vs an opponent with a 20 lb weight aadvantage is considered a fair fight

    The only guy I wanna see Mayweather in is with a guy smaller than Mayweather named Pacquiao.

    But Floyd scared as **** of Pacquiao even paid him THAT money.

    We all know that.
