This is why Max Kellerman has always been one of my all-time favorite sports analyst!!!! (DUDE NEVER JUST "TALKS".... HE ACTUALLY EXPLAINS HIS POSITION!!!!💯)
bone dolla I never took a side on the topic... I just appreciate someone who can actually articulate their position (and not just make BOLD STATEMENTS💯)
Yes I like and respect Max but he's wrong on this one. Floyd if he was interested or pissed off would fight and beat Triple G. He would just outbox him.. Don't people realize that Floyd often times fights bigger guys in the gym. Have you ever noticed that when Floyd wants to come forward he does. He just does and adjust's to what he has to do. Oscar, Mosley, Paquico, Cotto, Alveraz, Gatti. That's 6 right there that will all be in Hall of Fame and some already are. Marquez you can throw in too probably how many Hall of Fame fighters or future Hall of fame fighters has Triple G defeated ?
Curtis, guess what? You don’t know shit about boxing. Golovkin is way better at setting his punches up than canelo. And when canelo fought Floyd, he wasn’t even turning his punches over. Golovkin is better at setting his punches up. He is better at maintaining lead hand control. He would most certainly hit Floyd flush. Do you really think a flush punch from a genuine middleweight wouldn’t hurt Floyd mayweather? That’s insane. Canelo now would give Floyd fucking hell. Just the fact that he turns his punches over now. Floyd would be in a lot of pain by the end of that fight.
most if not all boxers take PED's the same way most basketball players takE PEDS with out a doubt ik sure mayweather took them too... people get to make sure athletes can take pills and still come out clean including mayweather
lmao that was funny. but no its impossible to be in better shape when your 40 than when you were 20. like physically impossible unless you take PED'S n its ok no one is saying boxers are wrong for it. its apart of the sport
Floyd is not a Middleweight and he's 40. End of comparison end of conversation. 2 years ago if GGG cut weight got in the ring at 154 Floyd would of been to fast.GGG got exposed in his last fight.
Max has a good way of explaining things to the biased fanboys out there. Floyd made all the wise money making and easier fights choices to keep the undefeated record. 100% truth.
+retro max is biased as fuck mayweather dnt have fan boys but boxing supporters who appreciate his skill no one likes the dude...if he chose easy fights i guess pacquiao mustve been an easy fight too?,! lol
When your fighting a natural flyweight (where pacquiao started his career) yes Floyd had an advantage being the naturally bigger man. But regardless I won't take anything away from Floyd, he owned Manny and won that fight easy. But he should of fought him many years before when Pacman was near his best. As he did with other fighters to. No disrespect because he is an excellent boxer, but most people know he made smart decisions business and legacy wise rather than taking risks to achieve even more greatness. All good though.
Young floyd fought everyone, Floyd is older now and his hands are shit. Even with all that he still beat todays big names. Prime floyd would destroy anyone near his weightclass
Max is a genius. That's exactly how I think about boxing and Floyd Mayweather. This fight was rigged and that "judge" ruined it. After watching the fight three times, GGG won by 3. My score card is 116 to 113.
He says floyd chose baldomir over margarito for the same money but he failed to mention that baldomir had a belt at that time easy choice for me. Two things can be true you can be informed and come across as honest and still omit facts. Just give the man his props instead of making it look like he didn't fight the right fights. There's always an excuse to discredit an accomplishment of Floyd's.
ChroniclesOfJudah 144 One hell of an asset indeed. HBO hired him because "he's very skilled at parsing facts" in a way that suits his employers narrative lol.
Jameric Dixon Also Everyone was accusing Floyd for ducking Zab.. Then Baldomir beat Zab. SO FLOYD BEAT THEM BOTH... Then they came up with more ppl for Floyd to supposedly "duck" before he beat them all too.
IWreckLobbies The correct word is "want" Not need. He doesn't want GGG because that would be a potential loss for him. Floyd prefers fighting when he knows he cannot lose.
This is exactly my point about floyds career...yes he's 50-0, yes he's undefeated BUT...he will never be held in the same esteem as Ali, Duran...etc. just because he never fought dangerous fighters when they were still dangerous. In fairness tho...Floyd will never have to experience the rough road that guys like Ali, Roach and others have because they fought dangerous fighters and put their lives on the line.
Exactly...great defensive boxer...but never took a real risk and not offensively exciting... 0 losses don't mean shit...whose career would you rather follow if you had to choose? FLOYD with 0 losses and 0 excitement or Pacquiao with losses but a thrilling fights...that's why Floyd is not an ATG in my opinion
Margarito was wouldn't have done shit with Floyd max and you know it! Floyd was in the process of leaving Top Rank and Bob has admitted to keeping Margarito away from Floyd! Cmon max you should know these things...
In the 80s, Marvin Hagler was a killer in the middleweight division. He fought a welterweight named Sugar Ray Leonard, who like Mayweather, would not stand toe-to-toe with a middleweight killer. Fight decided by points with the welterweight avoiding contact and landing punches that never hurt the larger man. Same dance, different era, same results.
Well if you know boxing so good Mayweather fight between welterweight is super welterweight your boy Triple G wont move for middleweight Canelo fought it's super wet weight middleweight and light heavyweight where's Triple G still at middleweight yeah he fought Canelo but duck Andre Ward but as soon as Mayweather name come up y'all love that tell your boy Triple G to move up in weight and fight somebody
I'm a Floyd fan so I always wondered why GGG fans were calling out someone who came from 130 pounds to fight. Middleweight? I mean they never complain why GGG Doesn't move up. Ward was waiting for him for a while but he wanted none of that. How come GGG fans never talk about that?
@BigPoppa Z it seems floyds fanbase is also overrating him , even tho hes not one of the majority of being TBE by not taking risks. Issues here and there, but do you actually believe all of those 50 wins were legit? You dont know shit about boxing yourself if you say so. Just take the fact and deal with it you casual boxing fan wannabe. If this was reddit, unbiased people will rain down on you with legitimate allegations. No wonder only trolls like you show up here at youtube.
@BigPoppa Z but i did and you ignored. Stop being so basic, everyone here sees and know how ignorant you are just by commenting on youtube. You wont fool anybody with that IQ and mentality of yours
+Baller Zakenman Exactly! GGG knows, he can't be Ward. That's why he is avoiding him. How do you say you will go up in weight to fight Chavez jr. and Froch, but won't fight Ward. That's why Ward calls him Little G! LoL...
C Martin what we do know is that Ward said no and GGG said yes. They even called out Ward onj it. I don't think either one is scared just each has different goals
HE ALSO SAID CANELO WOULD BEAT FLOYD,BUT ONLY AFTER FLOYD WON EASY THAT'S WHEN MAX & EVERYONE ELSE SAID CANELO DIDN'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE, & IT'S STILL ONLY OPINIONS FACTS ARE WHAT ACTUALLY H APPEND IN THE RING.
GGG is a different Animal less PED He can take Floyd's best punches if Floyd's goin toe to toe He's much experienced now That's why Floyd would make up all excuses in the world to duck GGG
You know what's so amazing these guys called out Floyd Mayweather when Canelo was dominated everybody in the world was saying he's scared of Canelo the Young Lions when knocked Mayweather out but as soon as Mayweather agrees to fighting whooping easy the world once again oh he was to Green he wasn't ready what if you throw a lion in the ocean weed killer sharks he going to get ate up pull up Mayweather's resume when Mayweather was knocking out everybody it was no problem he was calling out Mosley Dela Hoya Casta Zoo he was calling that although guys but there was no response but as soon as the guy got wiser smarter and started boxing and making top fighters look average it was a problem the guy came win my bad he winning all the way to the bank
Danny dude let's be real y'all sound like idiots I'm not calling you idiot Mayweather is a welterweight and he'll try to go up 2 super welterweight he can't even put on that type of way but for you to really sit here. Man is a full middleweight middleweight like Triple G he would probably beat Floyd but he will have a hell of a time doing it but let's be fair he duck Andre Ward for years it's amazing how the only conversation who Crush Mayweather especially when your 3 weight class is above him y'all say some crazy stuff
Floyd would be favourite against ggg. But why should a welterweight fight someone who is really a light heavyweight? Why does ggg keep hiding from ward. He doesn't like fighting people his own size and level does he? Clever guy though. Makes good comments at the end. Floyd is good businessman and very crafty in when he fights people
Max is like a finger pointer, who has a microphone. His opinions are from the outside, he can say Floyd would not be able to beat Gennady....they said that about a young Canelo....who beat Gennady.
Great smart point there thats an intelligent argument there Max with lots of Facts on different Boxers in different Boxers. As to check out Manny Pacquiao legacy compared to Floyd Mayweathers record it is far obvious who deserves to be the chosen one. One thing is for sure Manny always fights the best of the best fighters: younger, bigger, stronger fighters at their strongest peak condition not imposing any unfavorable conditions that will be a disadvantage for opponents. The Toughest fight for Manny Pacquiao to date in his boxing career to fight the Undefeated Big, Tall & Strong Errol Spence. Floyd Mayweather would not want to fight Keith Thurman or Errol Spence, as his motivation is not for the love of the sport of Boxing but Money. Pacquiao is but different He is fighting the Younger, stronger, undefeated new breed of Champions He is indeed a Real Life Rocky true story. Manny Pacquiao is the underdog here some boxers even think this is way too much for Manny Pacquiao to fight others almost half his age others even say he is crazy as he can get hurt badly. An aged Legend vs a very strong young huge undefeated Champion, Manny has the heart to win it. I dont want Manny to get damaged as He should be already retired He did already so much for the sport of Boxing. I am for the older, shorter, smaller underdog boxer Manny Pacquiao, as His heart has overcome the bests of the best in Boxing the True & genuine legend 8th division World Champion Manny Pacquiao who fought his opponents at the peak of their youth & abilities. Not like Floyd Mayweather who has so many conditions against his opponents which brings them to their disadvantage but that which is favorable for Mayweather to win, that is not a fair class for a champion. Manny Pacquiao have gone through many wars & have done so many seemingly impossible feats in boxing, You dont need to prove anything to anyone anymore. As Floyd Mayweather wont even have the balls to fight Keith Thurman or Errol Spence but fight a CZcamsr or a UFC or Japanese Mixed martial arts fighter what an easy life for Floyd. Max thanks for bringing highlight to the truth, we know Manny is the True Legend with a heart, the real Peoples Champion GOD has Blessed Him indeed, He is Loved by many.
Triple G loses to the faster and defensively superior fighter. He already lost to Canelo the second time and has a draw in the first. Canelo is slow in general but his defense ain't too crazy, and Tripple G still managed to miss a good chunk first encounter. And Canelo couldn't even touch Floyd even when he had 15 to 20 pounds over Floyd. Floyd just doesn't challenge GGG in the inside, and it'll be an easy win.
Rizz Baraquiel; actually, pacquiao started fighting at Jr. flyweight. That's why Pacquiao is going to go down as one of the greatest boxers / fighters in boxing history.
@@rizzbaraq9284actually Floyd started at that weight too. He fighting in the Olympics. And we all know gaining 15 pounds is highly suspicious in a year.
Prime Floyd would decision Golovkin. We just saw Canelo with far less speed, defensive prowess, and overall skill befuddle GGG at moments. GGG would be much bigger but at 154 I think Floyd would embarrass GGG.
Prime Many would kill Floyd at 135, but these are just a silly talk which will never gonna happen. GGG will never makes 154 and also Floyd will never make 135 since last 7 years.
GGG would just be too big for Floyd what's wrong with that ? He's bigger stronger he would more then likely impose his will and Floyd would have to use every skill in the book to stop the size coming on .. however the fight never happen and never will so everything is a guess in the end because that particular reality doesn't exist
Right, because Gennady is in the conversation of being the best ever? Or BECAUSE HE IS IN A DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASS and Floyd is FUCKING FORTY!!!!! Why is this even being discussed? More proof of Mayweather's superiority in boxing.
IF THEM GUYZ WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FLOYD MONEY MAY WEATHER JR IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS FLOYD LIKE 30 TO 38 YEARS OLD AT 40 SKILLZ IF HE WAS ABLE TO PUT IN THE ROAD WORK AND TRAINED LIKE HE USED TO T.M.T 👉TO THE EASY WORK HE WOULD HAVE TOOK THEM ALL TO SCHOOL THE SKILLS HIS DEFENSE HIS BOXING STYLE HE CAN BOX IN FIGHT AND GOT A GOOD CHIN FLOYD WAS A BAD MAN IN THAT RING THAT MAN WAS VERY SMART VERY INTELLIGENT BOXER FLOYD MONEY MAYWEATHER JR WAS JUST ON ANOTHER LEVEL THAT'S WHY THAT MAN IS 50 -0. MY OPINION TRIPLE.G IS NOT A GOOD BOXER WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON WHEN HE'S BACKING UP IN THE RING GGG DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON LOST AND CONFUSED HIS ONLY GOOD COMING FORWARD. ONLY MY OPINION THAT'S WHAT I SEEN WHEN HE FACED ALVAREZ AND JACOBS 👊💯
Max Kellerman does not know anything about boxing he's been around it and knows how to commentate he never laced up gloves they got in the ring with anyone so how you going to know what it takes
I would like to see Floyd v GGG. Is Floyd going to do a Sugar Ray? Unlikely. GGG is a pure middleweight so he is not going to go above 160 I don't think so anyway. Isn't Kovalev 168? So would he come down to 160?
GGG is easy work against Floyd. If he can barely hit canelo with clean punches, he aint touching Floyd. Plus he ate a lot of counter punches from Saul, imagine when he fights floyd. Not saying Floyd will knock him out (that would never happen), but its gonna be a boxing lesson from floyd once again. Maybe they'll put up Wilder or Joshua against Floyd lmao
That's why it's dumb for people to think Manny vs Canelo would be a fair fight. Manny who is naturally 140 who would come in fight night at 150 against Canelo who comes in at 185.
Ward would spank GGG in my opinion... Ward took a lot kovalevs jab from him at key moments in their 2 fights and Ward controlled the inside game and a lot of the pace not all but a lot of the pace was set from Ward deciding when the action would happen etc etc .. I don't believe ggg presents a tough match for Ward
Just watched how horridly slow of hand and foot Golovkin was against Canelo. How horrible his defense is, and how he doesn't counter with punches, but waits.... and I'd say Floyd at 154 would have beaten Golovkin for sure.
so to make it easier to understand, max meant that at middleweight with no catchweight and no tune up fights for floyd, floyd will lose as he will suddenly feel the burden of additional weight and will considerably slow down, and gas out, and once he gets easier to hit, GGG will put him to sleep. if the fight is a catchweight like against canelo, floyd will win because the weight and size is no more that of a big factor, floyd's skills will dominate GGG all 12 rounds. one thing's for sure though , no one will knock out GGG. not even manny at catchweight (though if manny becomes a natural middleweight that is the time GGG will fall that's for sure).
No chance. Floyd loves his perfect record. The outcome of GGG Canelo will have no bearing on Floyd. He doesnt need the money, he wont risk losing coming in at age and weight disadvantage to a KO artist like GGG.
Idk why people always want a power puncher or brawler to fight Floyd. Floyd is too evasive and will counter and will eventually win on points. Floyd needs to face someone like Lara.
floyd is 147 lbs walks around at 150 152 GGG 160 lbs walks around 175 180 does that make sense to fight him its ppl at 160 that can beat TripleG boxing has different weight classes for a reason despite what floyd says he can beat him but he knows thats a dangerous fight unless tripleg comes down to 154 with a weight clause meaning the night of the fight he has to be at the agreed weight 154
@@raw5889 lol. I see, you're a troll. He "lost" that first fight? There is NO one outside of canelos camp who thinks canelo won the first one. Then he cheated and roided (or was just caught that time) and fought a 36 yo GGG and "won".
@@deadarmd I'm I a troll or do you just disagree with me? And I actually think that there's a better case for GGG in the first fight than in the second.
@@raw5889 this has nothing to do with what fighters we like. Have you seen some of the scorecards on Floyd or canelo fights? They are inexcusable and are a sign of only one thing. Corruption. (which in certain cases has been proven). However the entire boxing world watched that ggg-canelo 1 and thought "this could end boxing". Even the pro Canelo announcers were desolate. I think it comes down to people thinking that what Floyd did in the ring against pac was better boxing than vice versa. Also, just watching Floyd's body type change and his head grow... He roided. PAC roided. Canelo roided. They all, or many do "cheat" it's as simple as that. We can agree to disagree but I'm for sure not in some tiny minority thinking GGG had a draw in that first one (clear victory for GGG should have never been a rematch but canelo is the golden money goose and gennady is an old Ukrainian), and the amount of ppl who thought 118-112 was the right score in Floyd-pac. If you simply watch that fight at .5 speed and I already commented the vid who made that video. Floyd is out landed 142-69 while running away, initiating clinches and landed fewer power shots. The only thing Floyd did better was absorb punishment, and slip more. This is my and many other people's opinion. I'm not simply disagreeing with you. I'll disagree with anyone who thinks corruption wasn't in play in those three fights we've discussed.
Yes said floyd didn't fight people at they best all those fighters was old just like floyd was older to he just took care of his body better then all those dudes plain and simple
You just can't tell some people. Max you don't know s***t about boxing. I doubt ggg would lay a glove on 2016 version of Mayweather. That power means nothing if he can't set himself and Floyd would reset him all night long, Come on now.
Floyd would reset him all night and GGG would be too slow. GGG wouldn't even be able to cut off the ring on Mayweather and that's the only way GGG wins in his other fights. Cuts off the ring and hits them w/ power. But when you go against someone like Mayweather with speed and precision. GGG is toast. Proof is GGG vs Canelo. GGG missed all night and barely landed body shots b/c he was afraid of getting countered. lol
After seeing Canelo vs. GGG, I know Floyd would whoop GGG. I personally think Canelo beat GGG, but it was so close that I agree with the draw (besides the 18-10 scorecard). That being said, Canelo worked GGG defensively all night. Mayweather is much better defensively, as well as capitalizes on opportunities to land cleanly much better than Canelo, because his ring IQ is higher. After seeing GGG miss Canelo, and the way Canelo rolled so well with his punches so that he couldn't connect cleanly, I must say that I think Floyd would undoubtedly outbox GGG. Even when GGG connected cleanly on Canelo, he didn't finish him, and we cannot deny that Floyd has a strong chin. In a scenario where a 40 year old Floyd were to really train hard to fight GGG, I still think he would win, even though his only weakness would be his age. A younger Floyd would just put on a clinic in my opinion and embarrass GGG. Don't get me wrong, I love GGG, but there's levels to this shit. I will agree that GGG's jab would be the only thing to give Floyd a hard time. I mean Connor landed jabs on Floyd, but we all know Floyd had a different style and barely prepared for that fight at all (LOL).
Surely GGG could not because Floyd is scared shitless to fight him Because Floyd knows his punches could not scratch GGG Floyd won't last 5 rounds He would be coming up with lame excuses just to duck GGG That's his habit
@mano trini yea i mean all you gotta do is tap the body or head and you get points its not like floyd ever hurts anybody in one swing. But if floyd fucks up than idk bro thats it. Canelo was mexican thats why he lasted lmao
Ggg would go towards an take all those Floyd shots he has no power Triple g dose it would be a dangerous fight even as me a Floyd fan as well I see him having trouble you just ducking riding Floyd an why is it always having to compre with Canelo like come on make up a better excuse
This man knows his shit. End of conversation.

Exactly! GGG knows, he can't be Ward. That's why he is avoiding him. How do you say you will go up in weight to fight Chavez jr. and Froch, but won't fight Ward. That's why Ward calls him Little G! LoL...
C Martin what we do know is that Ward said no and GGG said yes. They even called out Ward onj it. I don't think either one is scared just each has different goals
Nice.. but the camera's slightly unfocused..
Someone needs to compile ALL of his boxing takes
HE ALSO SAID CANELO WOULD BEAT FLOYD,BUT ONLY AFTER FLOYD WON EASY THAT'S WHEN MAX & EVERYONE ELSE SAID CANELO DIDN'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE, & IT'S STILL ONLY OPINIONS
FACTS ARE WHAT ACTUALLY H APPEND IN THE RING.
GGG is a different Animal less PED He can take Floyd's best punches if Floyd's goin toe to toe He's much experienced now That's why Floyd would make up all excuses in the world to duck GGG
You know what's so amazing these guys called out Floyd Mayweather when Canelo was dominated everybody in the world was saying he's scared of Canelo the Young Lions when knocked Mayweather out but as soon as Mayweather agrees to fighting whooping easy the world once again oh he was to Green he wasn't ready what if you throw a lion in the ocean weed killer sharks he going to get ate up pull up Mayweather's resume when Mayweather was knocking out everybody it was no problem he was calling out Mosley Dela Hoya Casta Zoo he was calling that although guys but there was no response but as soon as the guy got wiser smarter and started boxing and making top fighters look average it was a problem the guy came win my bad he winning all the way to the bank
Danny dude let's be real y'all sound like idiots I'm not calling you idiot Mayweather is a welterweight and he'll try to go up 2 super welterweight he can't even put on that type of way but for you to really sit here. Man is a full middleweight middleweight like Triple G he would probably beat Floyd but he will have a hell of a time doing it but let's be fair he duck Andre Ward for years it's amazing how the only conversation who Crush Mayweather especially when your 3 weight class is above him y'all say some crazy stuff
Dude knows his boxing
Floyd would be favourite against ggg. But why should a welterweight fight someone who is really a light heavyweight? Why does ggg keep hiding from ward. He doesn't like fighting people his own size and level does he?
Clever guy though. Makes good comments at the end. Floyd is good businessman and very crafty in when he fights people
Max is very intelligent and has great arguments, which makes it even worse when he fucking sells out like he did for GGG vs Canelo.
Man Max Knows His Shit He Is The Man Max That Is Well Said, My Man.
Kellerman knows his shit
Max is like a finger pointer, who has a microphone. His opinions are from the outside, he can say Floyd would not be able to beat Gennady....they said that about a young Canelo....who beat Gennady.
Max always speaks the truth!
Max is s fucking Genius
Great smart point there thats an intelligent argument there Max with lots of Facts on different Boxers in different Boxers. As to check out Manny Pacquiao legacy compared to Floyd Mayweathers record it is far obvious who deserves to be the chosen one. One thing is for sure Manny always fights the best of the best fighters: younger, bigger, stronger fighters at their strongest peak condition not imposing any unfavorable conditions that will be a disadvantage for opponents. The Toughest fight for Manny Pacquiao to date in his boxing career to fight the Undefeated Big, Tall & Strong Errol Spence. Floyd Mayweather would not want to fight Keith Thurman or Errol Spence, as his motivation is not for the love of the sport of Boxing but Money. Pacquiao is but different He is fighting the Younger, stronger, undefeated new breed of Champions He is indeed a Real Life Rocky true story. Manny Pacquiao is the underdog here some boxers even think this is way too much for Manny Pacquiao to fight others almost half his age others even say he is crazy as he can get hurt badly. An aged Legend vs a very strong young huge undefeated Champion, Manny has the heart to win it. I dont want Manny to get damaged as He should be already retired He did already so much for the sport of Boxing. I am for the older, shorter, smaller underdog boxer Manny Pacquiao, as His heart has overcome the bests of the best in Boxing the True & genuine legend 8th division World Champion Manny Pacquiao who fought his opponents at the peak of their youth & abilities. Not like Floyd Mayweather who has so many conditions against his opponents which brings them to their disadvantage but that which is favorable for Mayweather to win, that is not a fair class for a champion. Manny Pacquiao have gone through many wars & have done so many seemingly impossible feats in boxing, You dont need to prove anything to anyone anymore. As Floyd Mayweather wont even have the balls to fight Keith Thurman or Errol Spence but fight a CZcamsr or a UFC or Japanese Mixed martial arts fighter what an easy life for Floyd. Max thanks for bringing highlight to the truth, we know Manny is the True Legend with a heart, the real Peoples Champion GOD has Blessed Him indeed, He is Loved by many.
A man that makes sense.
Triple G loses to the faster and defensively superior fighter.
He already lost to Canelo the second time and has a draw in the first. Canelo is slow in general but his defense ain't too crazy, and Tripple G still managed to miss a good chunk first encounter.
And Canelo couldn't even touch Floyd even when he had 15 to 20 pounds over Floyd.
Floyd just doesn't challenge GGG in the inside, and it'll be an easy win.
Wise words
Floyd is to old leave him alone 😂
how did you get this guy to talk for free at your youtube channel? wow!
did you hear that started at a 130.. foh tbe no doubt about it...
And Manny started at 112 who's TBE now? lol
Rizz Baraquiel; actually, pacquiao started fighting at Jr. flyweight. That's why Pacquiao is going to go down as one of the greatest boxers / fighters in boxing history.
@@rizzbaraq9284 manny was a malnourished 15 year old kid when he started. Floyd is naturally taller and started as a young adult. Big difference
@@rizzbaraq9284actually Floyd started at that weight too. He fighting in the Olympics. And we all know gaining 15 pounds is highly suspicious in a year.
@@rizzbaraq9284Floyd is. He spanked Manny. Enough said lol
Exactly... I agree with this man
every guy that Floyd beats the boxing community always come up with excuses. Can GGG fight Andrew ward?
He forgot that Roberto Duran is the same height as floyd but Duran still fought and won a title at 160. No excuses.
Love Max but come on. GGG has never fought anyone with the defensive mind like Floyd.
canelo
he would kick ggg ass let him come down to 147 Max kellerman must be the only expert that never felt a punch in his life
And Henry Armstrong started at 126lbs to middle weight fighting killers at middleweight,
Amen to that!
Floyd's big for his weight class, Gennady's a man with a brilliant boxing IQ that is matched by few.
LOL! "Oh he can walk on water"! LMAO!... Max knows what the nuthuggers are about!
Prime Floyd would decision Golovkin. We just saw Canelo with far less speed, defensive prowess, and overall skill befuddle GGG at moments. GGG would be much bigger but at 154 I think Floyd would embarrass GGG.
Prime Many would kill Floyd at 135, but these are just a silly talk which will never gonna happen.
GGG will never makes 154 and also Floyd will never make 135 since last 7 years.
Floyd Mayweather is not in the same weight category as GGG.
This guy is ALWAYS talking irrelevant, negative nonsense about Floyd Mayweather.
GGG would just be too big for Floyd what's wrong with that ? He's bigger stronger he would more then likely impose his will and Floyd would have to use every skill in the book to stop the size coming on .. however the fight never happen and never will so everything is a guess in the end because that particular reality doesn't exist
Right, because Gennady is in the conversation of being the best ever? Or BECAUSE HE IS IN A DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASS and Floyd is FUCKING FORTY!!!!! Why is this even being discussed? More proof of Mayweather's superiority in boxing.
True
surgical boxing eloquence
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love max
I admire floyd...but he should've fought GGG for his 50-0 rather than join the circus
absolutely true!
IF THEM GUYZ WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FLOYD MONEY MAY WEATHER JR IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS FLOYD LIKE 30 TO 38 YEARS OLD AT 40 SKILLZ IF HE WAS ABLE TO PUT IN THE ROAD WORK AND TRAINED LIKE HE USED TO T.M.T 👉TO THE EASY WORK HE WOULD HAVE TOOK THEM ALL TO SCHOOL THE SKILLS HIS DEFENSE HIS BOXING STYLE HE CAN BOX IN FIGHT AND GOT A GOOD CHIN FLOYD WAS A BAD MAN IN THAT RING THAT MAN WAS VERY SMART VERY INTELLIGENT BOXER FLOYD MONEY MAYWEATHER JR WAS JUST ON ANOTHER LEVEL THAT'S WHY THAT MAN IS 50 -0. MY OPINION TRIPLE.G IS NOT A GOOD BOXER WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON WHEN HE'S BACKING UP IN THE RING GGG DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON LOST AND CONFUSED HIS ONLY GOOD COMING FORWARD. ONLY MY OPINION THAT'S WHAT I SEEN WHEN HE FACED ALVAREZ AND JACOBS 👊💯
Floyd wouldn't beat Golovkin at 160 and Golovkin wouldn't beat Floyd anywhere under 160. There's a reason there's weight classes in boxing
Max knows boxing I mean real boxing
Max Kellerman does not know anything about boxing he's been around it and knows how to commentate he never laced up gloves they got in the ring with anyone so how you going to know what it takes
Canelo was about Oscar's size when he fought Floyd, but he's been getting huge lately.
Fluid demaded for canelo to drop down when they fought. Fluid is a pussy.
Free Bee True but even Max here said he was more of a Jr Middleweight
Be hard 1 for Floyd no doubt, Floyd’s a defensive genius tho, so skilled he could get the decision
I would like to see Floyd v GGG. Is Floyd going to do a Sugar Ray? Unlikely. GGG is a pure middleweight so he is not going to go above 160 I don't think so anyway. Isn't Kovalev 168? So would he come down to 160?
very smart .... and handsome
but who makes more money?
GGG is easy work against Floyd. If he can barely hit canelo with clean punches, he aint touching Floyd. Plus he ate a lot of counter punches from Saul, imagine when he fights floyd. Not saying Floyd will knock him out (that would never happen), but its gonna be a boxing lesson from floyd once again. Maybe they'll put up Wilder or Joshua against Floyd lmao
That's why it's dumb for people to think Manny vs Canelo would be a fair fight. Manny who is naturally 140 who would come in fight night at 150 against Canelo who comes in at 185.
Ward would spank GGG in my opinion... Ward took a lot kovalevs jab from him at key moments in their 2 fights and Ward controlled the inside game and a lot of the pace not all but a lot of the pace was set from Ward deciding when the action would happen etc etc .. I don't believe ggg presents a tough match for Ward
Just watched how horridly slow of hand and foot Golovkin was against Canelo. How horrible his defense is, and how he doesn't counter with punches, but waits.... and I'd say Floyd at 154 would have beaten Golovkin for sure.
Wow! 4 Years later Kingnelo beats GGG and Kovalev
so to make it easier to understand, max meant that at middleweight with no catchweight and no tune up fights for floyd, floyd will lose as he will suddenly feel the burden of additional weight and will considerably slow down, and gas out, and once he gets easier to hit, GGG will put him to sleep. if the fight is a catchweight like against canelo, floyd will win because the weight and size is no more that of a big factor, floyd's skills will dominate GGG all 12 rounds. one thing's for sure though , no one will knock out GGG. not even manny at catchweight (though if manny becomes a natural middleweight that is the time GGG will fall that's for sure).
I think Floyd will call out GGG in his next fight. That's a serious money fight for both men.
No chance. Floyd loves his perfect record. The outcome of GGG Canelo will have no bearing on Floyd. He doesnt need the money, he wont risk losing coming in at age and weight disadvantage to a KO artist like GGG.
for me I can envision the fight where Floyd would just circling around the ring while galloping.
coming from a boxing expert who never threw a punch in his life
Right
Idk why people always want a power puncher or brawler to fight Floyd. Floyd is too evasive and will counter and will eventually win on points. Floyd needs to face someone like Lara.
Booty Licious lara still too big and a pure boxer. Mayweather gonna die against lara
floyd is 147 lbs walks around at 150 152 GGG 160 lbs walks around 175 180 does that make sense to fight him its ppl at 160 that can beat TripleG boxing has different weight classes for a reason despite what floyd says he can beat him but he knows thats a dangerous fight unless tripleg comes down to 154 with a weight clause meaning the night of the fight he has to be at the agreed weight 154
This man will say literally anything to diss Mayweather, like literally everything.
I mean
Floyd never beats GGG. Who actually thinks this??
@@deadarmd but he arguably lost to canelo twice, so?
@@raw5889 lol. I see, you're a troll. He "lost" that first fight? There is NO one outside of canelos camp who thinks canelo won the first one. Then he cheated and roided (or was just caught that time) and fought a 36 yo GGG and "won".
@@deadarmd I'm I a troll or do you just disagree with me?
And I actually think that there's a better case for GGG in the first fight than in the second.
@@raw5889 this has nothing to do with what fighters we like. Have you seen some of the scorecards on Floyd or canelo fights? They are inexcusable and are a sign of only one thing. Corruption. (which in certain cases has been proven).
However the entire boxing world watched that ggg-canelo 1 and thought "this could end boxing". Even the pro Canelo announcers were desolate.
I think it comes down to people thinking that what Floyd did in the ring against pac was better boxing than vice versa. Also, just watching Floyd's body type change and his head grow...
He roided. PAC roided. Canelo roided. They all, or many do "cheat" it's as simple as that. We can agree to disagree but I'm for sure not in some tiny minority thinking GGG had a draw in that first one (clear victory for GGG should have never been a rematch but canelo is the golden money goose and gennady is an old Ukrainian), and the amount of ppl who thought 118-112 was the right score in Floyd-pac. If you simply watch that fight at .5 speed and I already commented the vid who made that video. Floyd is out landed 142-69 while running away, initiating clinches and landed fewer power shots. The only thing Floyd did better was absorb punishment, and slip more. This is my and many other people's opinion. I'm not simply disagreeing with you. I'll disagree with anyone who thinks corruption wasn't in play in those three fights we've discussed.
Max just dropped the truth!
Max is absolutely right.
Yes said floyd didn't fight people at they best all those fighters was old just like floyd was older to he just took care of his body better then all those dudes plain and simple
Why are you All Talking about a man thats retired????
Six years later and they still talking about him.
Sugar ray and Chavez Sr are two that would have been interesting for Floyd
Has max Keller man ever boxed
gennady beat floyd? Not a chance
I wouldn't write mayweather off.
If it never happened it's all speculation! TBE!🥊
Duran is the best ever
You just can't tell some people. Max you don't know s***t about boxing. I doubt ggg would lay a glove on 2016 version of Mayweather. That power means nothing if he can't set himself and Floyd would reset him all night long, Come on now.
Floyd would reset him all night and GGG would be too slow. GGG wouldn't even be able to cut off the ring on Mayweather and that's the only way GGG wins in his other fights. Cuts off the ring and hits them w/ power. But when you go against someone like Mayweather with speed and precision. GGG is toast. Proof is GGG vs Canelo. GGG missed all night and barely landed body shots b/c he was afraid of getting countered. lol
After seeing Canelo vs. GGG, I know Floyd would whoop GGG. I personally think Canelo beat GGG, but it was so close that I agree with the draw (besides the 18-10 scorecard). That being said, Canelo worked GGG defensively all night. Mayweather is much better defensively, as well as capitalizes on opportunities to land cleanly much better than Canelo, because his ring IQ is higher. After seeing GGG miss Canelo, and the way Canelo rolled so well with his punches so that he couldn't connect cleanly, I must say that I think Floyd would undoubtedly outbox GGG. Even when GGG connected cleanly on Canelo, he didn't finish him, and we cannot deny that Floyd has a strong chin. In a scenario where a 40 year old Floyd were to really train hard to fight GGG, I still think he would win, even though his only weakness would be his age. A younger Floyd would just put on a clinic in my opinion and embarrass GGG. Don't get me wrong, I love GGG, but there's levels to this shit. I will agree that GGG's jab would be the only thing to give Floyd a hard time. I mean Connor landed jabs on Floyd, but we all know Floyd had a different style and barely prepared for that fight at all (LOL).
ggg could not touch Floyd just like canelo and the rest
Surely GGG could not because Floyd is scared shitless to fight him Because Floyd knows his punches could not scratch GGG Floyd won't last 5 rounds He would be coming up with lame excuses just to duck GGG That's his habit
@mano trini yea i mean all you gotta do is tap the body or head and you get points its not like floyd ever hurts anybody in one swing. But if floyd fucks up than idk bro thats it. Canelo was mexican thats why he lasted lmao
Ggg would go towards an take all those Floyd shots he has no power Triple g dose it would be a dangerous fight even as me a Floyd fan as well I see him having trouble you just ducking riding Floyd an why is it always having to compre with Canelo like come on make up a better excuse
