GENNADY GOLOVKIN wants to boil down for a super welterweight fight with Floyd Mayweather – if Conor McGregor leaves the boxing icon sweating.

GGG is the undisputed middleweight king of the world after destroying British stars like Matthew Macklin, Martin Murray and Kell Brook.

Across the pond the competition has also dried up as he has wiped out American challengers Dominic Wade and Willie Monroe and should do the same to Daniel Jacobs in March.

So, in his quest for even greater glory, the 2004 Olympic silver medallist is willing to shrink down to 154lbs - around 70kg - to fight the 49-0 undefeated Money Man.

GGG told ESPN: "You know I'm not too big, 30 days before my fight I'm like 165lbs

“Especially for Floyd, of course, I would go to 154lbs or 160lbs if he wants, this is a dream fight.

"I think 160 and 154 is a good category for me.”

The 34-year-old demolition man knows he is not getting any younger and he cannot waste time chasing down Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez anymore.

The Mexican was lined up to fight Golovkin in 2016 for the WBC middleweight strap but he dropped the belt and ran from the planet’s most feared puncher.

Canelo’s cowardice has left a bitter taste in GGG’s mouth so he is only focused on luring Mayweather out of retirement for a colossal showdown.

Golovkin said: "There is a big difference between Floyd and Canelo, Floyd is Floyd, he is the best pound for pound and Canelo is nothing.

"I talked with him last year, I wanted the fight. I needed the fight. I'm tired of it, you know, talking too much.

“I don’t respect him, he’s selfish.”

Mayweather and McGregor have been baiting each other other a cross-over fight for the Irishman but nothing is sealed yet with contracts and licenses still up in the air.

There were reports on Tuesday night that Mayweather's Las Vegas home was broken into while he was celebrating his 40th birthday.
