He's already spent his entire career fighting smaller guys (he was gold medalist at light heavyweight). And now his focus, and his fans focus is on an even smaller guy.
What kind of weird crap is that? That would be like Golovkin trying so hard to get a fight with Floyd. Wards fans would be so mad at that, so why are they so focused on the smaller man who they say Ward would easily beat? Don't fans want their favorites to overcome great challenges anymore?
im talking about fight night weights.....Also 30 days before the fight when they do the weigh in he is already on weight..they show the pics on this very site
Why are yall making him out like he is some huge welterweight, dude is 5'8" and slender, he isn't thick frame/boned guy like Cotto who started at 140 and was struggling to make weight looooooong ago between 140-147
Them steroids made him big you keep picturing Floyd at 130
problem is ggg aint even 160 king.
he wants to fight the 160 king cotto.
you don't have to move up.
cotto aint the king of ****.
he has never even fought a fight at 160
How is Pacquaio a small welterweight when he has fought there since 2008 and would weigh over 140 for his junior lightweight fights on fight night???
How is pacquiao a small welterweight? being short in height, short in arms, and weighting around 148 in fight night. Get it? thanks.
I reject this whole notion that Ward wants Golovkin "so bad." That's total bullcrap and it's insulting to people's intelligence. He's a pretender. He did zero effort to make the fight happen. HBO approved of the fight and offered it to both. Ward could have instructed ROC to fire the opening salvo and ROC would have been glad to do it, but Ward never did.
The claim that Ward wanted it so bad is bogus.
Huge welterweight? I never said that. Guys like Maidana come to fight night around 160, so Floyd coming in 155 is not being a big welterweight. But he is at least average, he is not small for sure. Pac is a small welterweight, for example. Floyd has good weight, height and reach for the welterweight division.
The 30-days weight in don't say much, since all the fighters drain a little bit to make sure they make weight that day too. For example, GGG 30 day weight in for the Lemieux fight was 165, but he was 169 on fight night. Canelo is 167 for the Cotto fight in the 30 days weigh in, but he will be around 172 as usual in fight night.
So floyd being 150.5 in the 30 days weight in probably means that he is around 155 on fight night.

Are you buying this BS too? Floyd doesn't want this fight night weight to be known. He probably walks around 155 in WW fights and close to 160 in his JMW fights.
The fact that he claimed to have lost weight between the weight in of the Canelo fight (150.5) and the fight night (150) was absolutely bull****.

Floyd has won titles in 5 weight classes and never weighed more than 151 for a fight....that's not even the junior middleweight limit let alone close to middleweigh

I assume that Ward wants to play to his strengths and get a competitive advantage that works best for his style of fighting.
He likes to be taller than his opponent, bigger frame. His style is to grab and hold, use his head illegally, jab and grab, drape himself over his opponent. It's harder to do this against guys his own size, and it's easier to do this against smaller guys.
This is why Ward is obsessed with calling out GGG, which could be a good money fight against a significantly smaller opponent (5'10", while Ward is 6'1".)
be honest...
what are you so afraid of!? :lol1:
He doesn't think GGG can beat Ward...you can see that by how some of his die hard fanatics act....like he is picking on him or something
everyone does. or at least their manager.
why you think jotto is fighting canelo?
he calculated that even though canelo will kick his ass, it'll be good money.
hhmmm more opinions from you. Not surprising. Go troll somewhere else.
so the boxer who has difficulties getting fighters in the ring because they are "scared" is starting to use high risk/low reward scenarios???
:rofl: :rofl: excuses

Why does Golovkin want to fight a smaller guy in Cotto so bad? Money.
Ward/Golovkin is a great fight. I hope we get to see it some day.
Isn't Cotto one of these so called champs at 160 ? or is he the 155 pound Champ ?

yes.
it's called risk vs. reward.
same reason he'll probably fight canelo/cotto at 155.

Does he?
Ward and GGG's trainer have traded a few trash talks but really when you think about it
99% of the ggg-ward "needs to happen" talk has happened... right here on this forum via guys who want GGG to lose even if it's vs a much larger opponent
most people in the outside world are talking about fights that can actually happen (kovalev-ward and ggg-canelo)
sometimes a few angry butthurt dudes on the forum make it seem like there's massive demand for a fight when there simply isn't
ward said he would fight w. klitschko too, it's just idle trashtalk
Very good post
The thread starter is just trolling, he and everyone criticizing Ward for taking interest in fighting GGG already know where the idea first developed......GGG's own camp. The crap about him being bigger, fighting at LHW in the Olympics is BS.
What I don't understand is why GGG fanatical still feel the need to disparage Ward when it's obvious he's set his sights on Kovalev.
Based on what?
Based on them being 2 of the 5 or 6 best fighters in the world and being separated by a single division.
Are you really going to play this dumb? Damn.
