after winning national amateur titles from 106-125, floyd is undefeated as a pro after 23 major world
title fights at 130, 135, 140, 147, and 154, and fought all but a few of the best 130-147.
whether or not he deserves to consider himself great, how many in his generation in
any weight class have comparable accomplishments? there can't be more than a few in that group.
i almost look at floyd fighting GGG as i would floyd then fighting ward and then kovalev.
what's a few more pounds? that could keep going forever
I could have worded that better. I won't go edit it, but I could have sad, "Mayweather is a great fighter." Because he is a great fighter. Didn't mean to insinuate that he just thinks that. Of course May wouldn't be able to fight at under 147 anymore, so I'd love to see a superfight between May and GGG and have GGG would come in at 6-8 LBS more, but I'm not holding my breath that the fight will be made.

It must be true then.
I don't have a habit to think that everybody is a liar. A trainer who sees what happens in sparrings and can feel punches of different boxers hitting mitts can actually be correct saying things like that. By the way, Sanchez trained Kovalev at some point.
Nope, You are just turning into one of those ridiculous fan boys that actually put people of fighters.
If Sanchez said you were an idiot you would probably believe him and try and back him up.

Nope, I don't believe everything. I would only believe if he said that you were an idiot.
Once again, he did not say anything outrageously suspicious. It is always harder and more dangerous to apply your full power in a fight where you can be countered. Golovkin hasn't been pushed even close to a situation where he needed to stop an opponent or to lose, so he did not have to take a risk and go all out.

The next logical step for the G-Train would be a Quillin fight to try and unify the belts, but both Quillin and his management have got cojones the size of chia seeds.

Yep, 49-year old Hopkins takes on Kovalev, but Quillin in his prime prefers to hide and fight on undercards.

floyd says that he walks around at his fight weight, and he does.
his last 6 welter fights he came in a pound under so he has no weight
issues at 147. floyd may not
want to fight at 140 anymore, but if he walks
around at his fight weight then he could make 140, easily. he was probably
under 140 when he got out of jail. his weight comes from the muscle he
puts on in training and after he retires he'll probably go down below 140
naturally unless he gets fat. he says himself that he's not a true welter.

if floyd and GGG were in a ring together, floyd would look tiny.

he shouldn't fight anybody except the other champions, even if he has
to toss the idiotic "superchampion" (whatever that means) belt and
become the #1 mandatory for the others. he should probably just toss the
superchamp belt, anyway. all the superchamps should toss those belts
all at once in one press conference. give the belts all to a charity auction
to help sick kids or something. from now on, they all just call it the
punk title and recruit as many members of the media to subsitiute the
letters w-b-a with p-u-n-k, and berate any fighter who pays a sanctioning
fee for that stupid title, until the wba puts an end to the superchamp idiocy.
