Floyd Mayweather vs Gennady Golovkin a Mismatch? GGG's Trainer Says 'Money' Will Get Knocked Out
If, by some miracle, Floyd Mayweather Jr. decides to face Kazakh warrior Gennady "GGG" Golovkin after his fight against Andre Berto, the result won't be in his favor, at least, according to Abel Sanchez, Golovkin's trainer.
Although Mayweather already announced that Berto is his final opponent on Sept. 12 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, many people are not buying it. Some are thinking that if he defeats Berto, he will still come back to beat Rocky Marciano's win-loss record of 49-0, and his next match could be against Golovkin.
Sanchez is echoing the sentiments of a lot of boxing fans. He said that if "GGG" gets called out, his fighter will gladly let Mayweather feel his punching strength.
"I think he fights again, I don't think it's over. I think that Mayweather is too much of a historian and too much of a businessman to think that all he wants to do is finish out and hold the record. I think that he's going to look for challenges beyond that, and if we're in the mix, Golovkin has professed that as his dream fight for his career. If it happens, I can promise you this, it won't be a May 2nd fight, Golovkin will stop him," Sanchez told On The Ropes Boxing, as quoted by Boxing Scene.
Floyd Mayweather vs Gennady Golovkin a mismatch?
But former featherweight and super feather weight champion Mikey Garcia told Fight Hub TV that the people who like to pit Mayweather against "GGG" "don't know boxing." For the Mexican-American boxer, Triple G should just focus his attention on clashing with fighters in his weight class and ignore calls from people whose obsession is to see Mayweather fail for the first time.
In addition, former world champion Ishe Smith believes Mayweather does not need to prove anything anymore by facing Golovkin to satisfy the fans.
"He's fought everybody man, and to sit here and complain now, 'ah fight Triple-G [undefeated middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin],' it's just crazy stuff man and I think they won't respect him or appreciate him until he's gone," Smith said via Fighthype.com.
"He's getting at that stage in his career where he's in a no-win situation. It was Manny [Pacquiao]; dusted him away, made it look easy, and he got at fault for that, 'oh fight him without a bum shoulder... He made Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez look like an amateur," Smith added.
