How badly would Golovkin have beaten Mayweather?

[XThe GreatestX]

hmmm probably GGG. Just a little to big i think

 

[XThe GreatestX]

Prime Floyd was as close to invincible as a boxer gets. Anyone saying Floyd gets stopped is just showing bias. The guy barely lost a round until he was close to 40.

he arguably lost to castillo in 2002.....

 

[Seano]

he arguably lost to castillo in 2002.....

Well, that proves it then. Golovkin would knock him out easily because he was in a competitive fight 14 years ago.

Floyd has fought bigger men. The current Mw champ, the former MW champ and a former MW title holder too.

Its stupid to think a guy who barely gets hit clean in his whole career suddenly gets battered around by the flavor of the week because he's 3 or 4 pounds heavier than some other guys he fought.

Your obsession with Mayweather is disturbing.

He'd get his ass kicked, but he's smart enough to not fight him.

Now him and all his fanboys can say he'd easily beat GGG....but Floyd is retired, and wouldn't fight him anyway cause he's a nobody who hasn't proved himself yet.

It's weird how guys like you can't see what a hype job he is. Floyd is a genius business man, that is for sure.

 

[mommas homeboy]

Floyd is too small and not enough of a puncher to stop GGG, who can take a good shot from actual middleweights.

Maybe 2012 Floyd wins a close UD, but now no way he wins.

Exactly....GGG hits way too hard for Floyd.

And running around the ring trying to dodge punches wouldn't last as long as it usually does...he'd get caught and ko'd way faster than his fans think.

Thanks.

He's retired. But no, he wouldn't "get his ass kicked." Floyd doesn't get his ass kicked. Like I said, there is 0 evidence to support the idea that Floyd suddenly forgets how to slip punches because he's fighting Golovkin.

Now him and all his fanboys can say he'd easily beat GGG....but Floyd is retired, and wouldn't fight him anyway cause he's a nobody who hasn't proved himself yet.

Right. Thats all true.

You're an idiot. You have no idea what you're talking about. Hype job my ass.

 

[Seano]

lol So thats been the key to beating Mayweather all these years? Hitting hard? If only someone had told Canelo, Cotto, Pac etc that, then he wouldn't be undefeated today.You know what I'd do? I'd hit him right in the nose and drive that nose bone right into his brain!

And running around the ring trying to dodge punches wouldn't last as long as it usually does...he'd get caught and ko'd way faster than his fans think.

Floyd doesn't really "run around the ring." Admit it, saturday was the first time you've watched boxing.

I'm not a Floyd fan and even I think Floyd will outbox GGG quite easily. GGG is too slow and I can see Floyd throwing counters all night long

 

[mommas homeboy]

I agree with this.

Everyone who backs Golovkin in this hypothetical matchup does so with the knowledge that Floyd would go into the ring the much smaller man. Floyd isn't a 154lber, despite holding belts there. Having a middleweight champion beat a welterweight champion really doesn't prove much of anything, and it's a fight that doesn't make sense except only from the perspective of wanting to see Mayweather lose and stack the odds against him.

If GGG were that much bigger, I'd agree, but he isn't. They could find a reasonable weight for both of them.

But even in a theoretical match up six 6 years ago, Floyd would never have agreed to it.

Relax, he's your personal Jesus, like Conor is mine....I get it.

The thing is, if Floyd were as good as you say, he'd be a top 20 all time great, but almost nobody puts him there, and he sure as hell is not a top ten all time great. He ducked too many fighters in their prime...to be the best, you have to fight the best at their peak. He simply did not.

But it was very smart business on his part, I'll give him that.

I dont know who would win, probably May, but if the even slower Maidana can hit May, GGG can.

Pathetic openings like this don't improve your argument.

Almost everyone has Floyd in their top 20. Floyd's resume is studded with HOFers, P4Pers and champions.

But it was very smart business on his part, I'll give him that.

Right, he didn't just fight anyone. He waited until guys had a great performance. He rarely fought guys who didn't look great in their previous fight. Thats why there was always buzz for his fights.

 

[Seano]

Golovkin is a lot more textbook that Maidana though. Maidana had some success because he fights with an awkward rough style. Thats not Golovkin.

He's about 20 pounds heavier on fight night. That's a pretty significant size difference.

Anyway, at this point Golovkin would most likely stop Floyd. Floyd at his absolute peak would have a real chance.

Yea, Michael Jordan was all hype too.

 

[Seano]

In one of his last two fights, Floyd pretty much shut out the best offensive fighter of the past 25 years. Forgive me for not believing that Floyd suddenly gets KO'd because its a guy who weighs a couple of pounds more than the biggest guys he fought. It took Golovkin 12 rounds to dispatch Martin Murray but suddenly he's going to have Floyd sleeping? Come on now.

It takes a lot more than size and power to beat mayweather. He's been proving that since he fought Corrales all the way up to Canelo.

 

[ben-MMA]

I hate to agree with Seano but hes correct here... GGG has a punchers chance thats about it. He could catch this current Floyd, but please, Floyd from 5 years ago still UDs easily. People have short term memory in the fighting world.

 

[Seano]

I hate to agree with Seano

The fuck? How come bro? I'm good people.

 

[george-oli]

Golovkin is a lot more textbook that Maidana though. Maidana had some success because he fights with an awkward rough style. Thats not Golovkin.

I still think he hits him. I could see May schooling him making him miss and i could also see GGG landing one of his illegal over hand rights to the top of the head sending May into lala land. Id Take FMJ though.

Now him and all his fanboys can say he'd easily beat GGG....but Floyd is retired, and wouldn't fight him anyway cause he's a nobody who hasn't proved himself yet.

That knife cuts both ways. This is nothing more than a fantasy matchup thread, and not a single person in the thread runs the risk of being proven wrong.

Im not so certain the Floyd who fought Berto fares well against Golovkin right now, but much like Hopkins it's hard to bet against Floyd. There was always some boogie man for him and he always got past it.

Also lol @ Floyd being a hype job. He and Manny made theirs names over the past 8 years by fighting practically the same guys.
