By Chris Williams: Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. isn’t too impressed with IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) nor is he impressed with WBA “regular” welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 21 KOs). Floyd Sr. says Golovkin is too slow, and that Mayweather Jr. would likely beat him with his style.
As for Thurman, Floyd Sr. thinks he telegraphs his punches, and he would be an easy opponent for Mayweather to beat. Floyd Sr. says Mayweather always beats fighters that telegraph their punches like Thurman. He sees Thurman as little more than a hard puncher without the skills to compete against Mayweather.
