Will Floyd Get Credit for a 152 GGG Fight?

You have to be joking, Floyd vs Lara? I can't think of a bigger snorefest.

 

Who else is there for Floyd to fight, outside of GGG, who might actually win?

It would be a low output fight, but I think it would be interesting. But as I noted, the only people who would be interested are boxing heads... and not even all of them.

Who else could Floyd fight and not have it be a snorefest? Khan? That would be just as boring, until Khan got KOed... but if you want to just watch a one-sided KO, YouTube a GGG fight.

 

Lara has NO chance, he's a boxer and would try and outbox Mayweather which is impossible to do. I actually give Khan a better chance than Lara.

 

No because if he even has the fight at 154, which wont happen anyway, then people will say GGG was weight drained. GGG is too big too strong for Floyd and the fight will never happen, and to be honest I wouldn't expect anyone to go into that fight from welterweight up to middleweight.

 

True, but there is actually no lower limit. Floyd could weigh in at 150 lb if he wanted.

 

Golovkin said he could make 154, but he said that because he wants that Mayweather paycheck at all costs. If he has to drain himself to make 5 million dollars on one night, it's a purchase anyone is willing to make.

Of course, Golovkin at 154 is WEIGHT-DRAINED. That's just obvious. If he could make that weight, he would knock superwelterweights out instead of knocking middleweights out.

 

You cannot be sure of that, if you recall he told HBO he could do 154 when he was making his debut and I think it was planned until the GBP/HBO split.

Once GBP/Haymon left, at the time, there was no money left at 154 so it made no sense to move down. Even before then, 160 is much bigger deal in Europe, particularly Germany where Sturm was a franchise.

So... though GGG has never fought at 154, at least, the ability to fight there is not a new claim. I myself am somewhat skeptical... but it should not be taken as a given that he couldnt do it.
