It would be pointless since the weight drain would arguably nullify the marginal gains his reach, power and granite chin would provide against a similar opponent at his weight level. And I'm going to preempt this response but don't say Andre Ward who has been fighting at fucking 175
GGG is literally invincible he lets his opponents hit him and he doesn't even get stunned and when he hits you it's game over
Whos here after hearing Pacman wants to fight GGG.
Stephen got em with that Andre ward comment. Hahah
GGG demolishes Floyd at 154 or 155. He is no more bigger than Floyd than Floyd is to Manny Pacquiao. So if Pacquiao can fight De La Hoya, Floyd, Cotto, and Margarito, why can't Floyd fight GGG if it's such an easy fight for him? He would get at least 50-100 million bucks guaranteed, get to go to 50-0 AND if they fought at 155 he could win a title in a 6th weight class all those things in one night, all he has to do is step in the ring with Golovkin.

PhillyPhan ok first of all Manny and his teamed drained the hell out of all those fighters u just named that doesn't count as far as Floyd they fought at 148 which is the same weight class Mannys been fighting at for the past 8 years other then going up to 154 a couple of times which is the same story with Floyd, so Floyd was not at any advantage so saying it's the same thing as fight g is absurd.

Pacquiao did not drain any of those fighters. If Oscar De La Hoya had a problem with fighting at 147, than why did he come in on the scales at 145? Pacquiao was 142 and still beat Oscar's ass. Cotto, who is smaller than Oscar, fought Pacquiao at 145 just a few years after fighting at 140... and Margarito fought Manny at 150 less than 2 years after himself fighting at 147.

I've watched nearly ALL of GGGs fights, and usually he leaves me with an impression that he MUST be FREAKISHLY powerful compared to other championship-tier boxers. However, and this is a FACT, GGG did NOT look good, at ALL, against Jacobs. I think it's a POSSIBILITY "Father-time" is about knock-out GGG. For those of you who have seen Canelo vs. Chavez && GGG vs. Jacobs, do you honestly feel like GGG is the superior boxer while comparing him to Canelo? I realize this is kind of like comparing apples to peaches, but just curious...
Settle down you guys.. Golovkin KO'd Lucian Bute back in their amateur days just so you know. So moving up in weight to fight Ward won't be that hard for this guy. He's just playing his cards right at this moment..
Triple G was avoided by dam near all his division, the fact that he never got knocked down is ridiculous
canelos nothing lol i love it GGG best ever
King
If he is at 165 that's way to big for TBE. May weather is at 148.
I'll answer that Steven you don't move up in weight when you're in your 30s the mid-30s they move up in weight in your twenties and then you're settled at that weight and then you can move up and down 5 or 6 pounds like you said that's it you don't move up on your older
Wow isn't this awkward conversation with Borat...GGG has no idea what he is saying
Of course if u don't want to fight you should create some reason to save yours.
Never!!
He's retired ffs. Dudes 40. You can't keep challenging and calling out the same guy till he dies of old age
Lame excuses for not fighting Andre Ward, you can tell he froze when asked not fighting him because of the weight.
The troll interviewer is on Oscar 's pay roll and should learn to be unbiased ...
willing to down in weight to fight an old mayweather, but won't move up in weight for ward... lol
Would be great if all this time the whole Conor Mcgregor vs Mayweather talk was just to keep their names in the media for Conor's next UFC fight and a Mayweather vs GGG fight but I can only dream. Yes GGG is a lot bigger but Floyd is a special fighter.
I want GGG vs Pacquiao please
GGG is a beast, but a young Floyd in his prime would beat Golovkin if he came down to his weight. Floyd's Boxing IQ is just far too superior. He truly can crack any code when he's in that ring. He'd get GGG frustrated, and eventually tired. He'd exploit any little weakness he finds. People really don't understand how deep this game runs in Floyd's veins.

What is funny to me is if Jermall Charlo actually became a star at 154, i think GGG would have gone for that fight. But Jermall wasnt even a star at 154. He moved up to 160, and the WBC has pushed him so hard, and the most he has done is talk crap and somehow earned a shot at GGG by beating up a 154 bum??? come on. Now if the WBC had him face a guy like Murray or Monroe, and he beat them convincingly, ok. But a 154 guy that the WBC just put in there for him to beat? This is the shit that is wrong with boxing.
36-0? Goddamn Floyd's record will be 2nd in just a few years.. 😂😂

GGG is the best. floyd is a better boxer though. GGG wins the fight if it happens at this point though cause mayweather showed some age in the McGregor fight.

Bruh now GGG is getting way outta hand one fighter has to respect his opponent at the end of the day to say canelo is nothing and that he doesn't respect him yet is crazy I really hope canelo knocks the shit out of GGG I like both canelo and GGG but I wanna see ggg take the L on this one just so canelo can prove just how good of a fighter he is

Floyd is the fastest runner in boxing so he can beat GGG by running
max!!!!
Floyd Mayweather would absolutely humiliate GGG at 154. At 160, Golovkin would probably win.
надо учить англ мне
Canelo is a brave smart man he will do the fight that is better for him canelo will beat ganady this time he knows ggg now and it will knock him out somewhere between 7and 10 round
I fucking love Borat! He will knock out that ginger
Ggg vs andra ward
I believe in gennady that he can beat ward,,
Andre ward or floyd mayweather wouldnt do shit to tripple g, he has a chin of iron and would never be dropped, the only way mayweather or ward would beat golovkin is if he couldnt Even catch them once and lets be honest, he would catch them at least once and i think thar would be enough to end the fight. And i dont think anyone could ever drop ggg if he keeps training like he does now.
