Ward begging for GGG fight

The more GGG fights, even bums that is, the more the gap widens on popularity with him and ward. Ward's popularity has already plateaued, and if he wants to bump up his popularity, he needs to fight someone like kovalev or someone with similar stature. So if Ward doesn't fight GGG now, sooner or later he'll be Class D or E rather than class b now. The popularity gap will only widen from here on giving enormous transactional leverage to triple GGG in the future. He needs to do this now, beat triple GGG, because it's supposedly easier than kovalev, then be a perceived real a-side, fight kovalev. If he wins, then from here on out, he will command a good sum of money he deserves and fans will honor him. Right now, he's just a delusional fellow and he's not doing his self any favor, he's just wasting his prime/peak years with trying to fool people about being the a-side mumbo jumbo instead of earning it the real hard way, the way it's supposed to be. He needs to fight now, period, time is ticking away, his peak years are being wasted on discussions and transactions about this a-side/b-side bull**** that he didn't yet earned anyway.

It's a shame that Golovkin is preventing the Ward fight. If he was more willing to fight the best fighters in the sport, we could have a superfight on our hands. Instead we have to watch Golovkin fight more overmatched opposition. It's disappointing. If you read between the lines about what Ward said. You can come to conclusion that he did in fact rejected the opportunity to fight Golovkin before. Now that Golovkin is very popular and feels that he should use his "A side" advantages against Ward. So in this situation they both, Ward and Golovkin, need to come to an agreement. Time did not clearly favoured Ward. I am a bit disappointed with Golovkin demands for catchweight.

It applies to this situation. GGG does not believe be can beat Ward at 168. Period. Ward should be flattered and pursue Kovalev. And yet when HBO proposed the fight to both, GGG said yes, Ward said no. But I get it, it's situational logic. I don't think Ward needs to work very hard on pursuing Kovalev, if he wants it next it'll happen. Heck make it in Russia, where they'll make the most money.

Yeah and your statement was pretty categorical, cut and dry. Glad you're now finding it's more nuanced It applies to this situation. GGG does not believe be can beat Ward at 168. Period. Ward should be flattered and pursue Kovalev.

Yeah because every situation and the circumstances surrounding it are uniform across the board. Yeah and your statement was pretty categorical, cut and dry. Glad you're now finding it's more nuanced

Yeah no doubt, esp since he railed on other guys for demanding CWs and discounted their CW wins. Hypocritical POS, but he still beats Canelo at 154 easy, killing your argument. Yeah because every situation and the circumstances surrounding it are uniform across the board.

Doesn't matter. His actions opened the door for criticism. I think Canelo was fine at the weight but that's irrelevant. Yeah no doubt, esp since he railed on other guys for demanding CWs and discounted their CW wins. Hypocritical POS, but he still beats Canelo at 154 easy, killing your argument.

Fcuk Floyd indeed, he's a POS, but I'd still put money on him vs Canelo at 154 and so would most anyone else that saw the fight Doesn't matter. His actions opened the door for criticism. I think Canelo was fine at the weight but that's irrelevant.

Maybe, but it was never said that Golovkin sees Ward as a walk-over. Everyone knows that Ward's game plan is to impose his physical size advantage on Golovkin in an ugly mauling fight. At the same time what's his incentive to jump 8lbs? Ward doesn't bring the Mexican market like Chavez and Ward doesn't bring the UK market like Froch. Ward doesn't even bring a strong Oakland market right now. Ward needs to make up for that factor if he expects the smaller man to move up. Golovkin will drop down for Floyd, just like Ward said he would. Cotto & Alvarez are fighting for a MW title that Golovkin is part owner of; small or not they're in his division. When Golovkin fought Rosado, he offered Rosado a CW of 158 w/o Rosado's team even asking for it. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS EQUATION you have Andre Ward. A guy who said he'd go up to LHW for a single fight, then made the #1 LHW come down to his weight and even refused later to fight at 170lbs. A guy who refused a 2 fight deal with Adonis Stevenson, the first at 168lbs in Oakland with a rematch at 175lbs in Montreal (he was saying Stevenson needed to prove himself and instead was calling out Chavez Jr). A guy who wanted to fight MW Caleb Truax at 168lbs, no CW offerdecisions I completely aware of the business reasons and I'm very familiar with both fighters careers. They are barriers to making the fight happen but have nothing to do with my point.

HBO rumor was true? What Golovkin said about agreeing three times to fight Ward was true? C'mon Ward! Now Golovkin playing the annoying A side game. Ward better negotiate with the demands and make the fight happen because it is sort of his fault. GGG denied the 3 ducks, but nobody ever denied that HBO approached both once at least, and GGG said yes, Ward said no

Ok. Point stands. Fu*k Floyd Fcuk Floyd indeed, he's a POS, but I'd still put money on him vs Canelo at 154 and so would most anyone else that saw the fight

If GGG felt he could win he would fight him at 168. You dudes like to argue just to argue. You have nothing. Maybe, but it was never said that Golovkin sees Ward as a walk-over.

ward is such a clown, he is no A-side PERIOD.

Probably Kovalev Exactly. And my simple, unbiased question is not even coming from a fanboy perspective because I believe Ward would beat Golovkin due to size and style. So why are people demanding GGG vs Ward, instead of Kovalev vs Ward? Is this just hate or what?

GGG bout to unify with Lemiuex and has the Cotto Canelo winner. I'm sorry but I can't be mad at him for sticking around at 160. Ward needs GGG Bad and knows it. Doesn't give a damn about the fans either. Kovalev has become a willing opponent for Ward and fans wanna see it too. Go that way Andre and forget about Golovkin.

Lol. Like I said, he needs Golovkin. Ward: ***39;We are targeting GGG***39; http://t.co/OcHnlUKjhw***10;Photo @trappfotos #boxing pic.twitter.com/KNK8NkM7Z3— Boxing News (@BoxingNewsED) July 29, 2015 Obviously pay-per-view is the next step and that’s what we’re shooting for. We are targeting Gennady Golovkin right now, whether that’s next or the one after, there’s a lot to be done to make that fight happen. He keeps saying he wants to fight me and it’s a match-up the fans want to see. A year or two ago it was not the right time, but I think now is. I’m not chasing him but everybody is saying they want to give fans what they want to see. I’m in the category of guys like Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins – I’m not comparing myself to them in every aspect – but when you win a lot and it looks easy, sometimes the media have a standard set for you and they take away from your performance, saying the guy was too small, but if Golovkin beats me he’s the greatest fighter in the world; that’s just the way it is. HBO rumor was true? What Golovkin said about agreeing three times to fight Ward was true? C'mon Ward! Now Golovkin playing the annoying A side game. Ward better negotiate with the demands and make the fight happen because it is sort of his fault.

So from a real boxing fan perspective, which is more competitive GGG vs Ward or Kovalev vs Ward? Probably Kovalev

If Ward winning was a sure thing, RN could front a major offer to Golovkin and consider it a promotional investment into reestablishing Ward's marketability. It would be better than the plan they're on losing a couple million dollars per fight on BET. Or if they're so confident of victory they could call Golovkin's bluff at fight at 164. Instead we'll see another couple of tune-up fights from Andre. Honestly Ward could've been taking these meaningless tune-up fights while he was taking Goosen to court - that's what Golovkin did when he was fighting Universum and how he fought Nunez, Tapia, and Ouma. If GGG felt he could win he would fight him at 168. You dudes like to argue just to argue. You have nothing.

He has a fight to train for in his own division. Tell Ward to lure some other 160 or 154 pounder up since he won't move up the 3 pounds to face Kovalev or any other legit LHW for that matter. Ok. Point stands. Brilliant logic. I guess Canelo beating Floyd at 154 is sure thing. If Floyd thought he could beat him at 154 he would have. Fu*k Floyd
