The next best thing. Nothing beats the drama and impact of the Mayweather-Pacquiao as was originally attempted back in 2010.
I thought the fight would be more competitive and entertaining than the Rosado bout but Macklin ate his words about ending his so-called GGG hype. Actually it was GGG who ended the hype attending Matthew since his courageous losing stand against Martinez. And Gennady took less than half the time he took in disposing off the truly courageous Gabe Rosado. Is GGG the best middleweight now? I am still reserving my judgment until he gets to meet defensive boxer-punchers as Sergio Martinez and Peter Quillin. But I must confess that I was very impressed with his demolition of Macklin and his humility, wit and smartness during the post-fight interview where he correctly described Macklin as just one of his regular opponents when the interviewee opened up with the spiel about Macklin as his biggest for thus far.
Golovkin hardly worked a sweat in the Macklin fight so if he could be included in the Mayweather-Canelo undercard, I would like to see him again, versus GBP's Marco Antonio Periban or James Kirkland.
If that's not possible, hot welterweight prospect Ali Sadam vs. Robert Guerrero or Luis Collazo at welterweights
No fight would have been bigger than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
BQ: I'm not too impressed with Golovkin. I mean he has some talent, he knows how to cut off the ring and always remain in a position to throw a hard punch but he seems like he is mostly power. I've never been impressed with fighters who get by because of height, speed, power, etc.
We will have to see how good he is.
Pacquiou is not as skilled as Mayweather.Pacquiou is a hard hitter with stanima but I think Mayweather would have out boxed him and knocked him out.
The Canelo vs Mayweather is better because Pacquious boxing stock went way down after he was knocked out but I like Pacquious personality best but personalitys dont win fights.
Golovkin has many great fights left and will be fun to watch.
Two words: Hell NO
Mayweather-Pacquiao would have been the biggest fight of this generation. Neither Pac nor Mayweather deserve to be mentioned alongside true all time greats because of their reluctance to make this fight.
Do you believe that Mayweather-Canelo will surpass all expectations that the failed Mayweather-Pacquiao had or is this simply "The next best thing"
i would rather see floyd vs manny if i'm honest , i seem to be the only one that was disappointed with canelo vs trout ,before that fight i gave alveraz a decent chance vs floyd but thought saul was very one paced and he wasn't dynamic enough to trouble floyd to much .
BQ ...i see the highlights and GGG seems to have hammers for hands ...i'd love to see GGG vs martinez then the winner vs ward or even floyd as GGGhas said he can box @154
BQ2 ... luca matthysse vs broner...now that would be a fight ..a bit of me would love to broner showboating then for luca to pole axe him with one shot ....

BQ- Thoughts on Golovkin vs Macklin and his future.
BQ2- Who do you want to see in the undercard of Mayweather-Canelo?
