    Can't really compare Floyd with GGG. The former is an all time great with a long list of defeated elite boxers on his record, the latter the entertaining, heavy-handed 'big drama show' darling of the sport's casual fans, with absolutely no big names on a 34 fight resume.

    The same Mayweather who couldn't make a catchweight fight against tiny Marquez? You act like Mayweather wasn't a legit welterweight. That lie by Floyd fans doesn't work.

    Pacquiao made the catchweight against Algieri comfortably while Mayweather couldnt' make it for Marquez.

    You already said Golovkin is a natural middleweight and should move up 2 division to fight Ward. Ward NEVER fought at 168 lbs. when he came back from his lay-off; therefore, Golovkin would've had to move up 2 division.

    Mayweather, a legit welterweight, could move up 1 division since he held titles at LMW to fight Golovkin.

    Why? It's fun being a wind up merchant. I entertain many beliefs that aren't my own for the lolz.
    Floyd is mid-to-late thirties in my ATG ranking, and in terms of head-to-head ability, he's one of TBE's.

    In terms of Tiers of TBE's, he's Tier 2.

    Tier 1 = SRR, SRL, Napoles, Hearns, Duran, Whitaker
    Tier 2 = Mayweather, Griffith, Chavez, Pacquiao, De La Hoya, Rodriguez, Benitez

    Criticism is required because I hold him to the highest standard because that is simply how good he is - the highest level.

    Now answer me. Because you're not doing this for the 'fun' of it, seriously not even criticising you.

    When does it end? When will his body not be able to take anymore weight? Never? He fought at 154 but never weighed 154.. One weight class above the weightclass that you can't make seems further now right?
