Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Golovkin 'Literally Just Showed Up To Get A Check' Against Canelo

[bullydean]

Ggg looked bad because he’s 40. Canelo not stopping him was a pretty bad look for him but is consistent with who he is. He can beat lower level guys in dominant fashion but even a mediocre 40 yr old ggg was better and had more will than most of his opposition since their rematch 4 yrs ago. Canelo doesn’t hit the next level against guys who aren’t weak minded like his run of opposition at 168. Those guys quit halfway through the fight whereas ggg actually beat Canelo in the championship rounds.

Y'all act like BJS and Callum Smith weren't tough live opponents.

BJS came to win but sadly had his face caved in.
Smith was such a threat that Canelo's gameplan required him to punch Smith's bicep out.

The hate y'all have for someone who doesn't know you exist is baffling to me. It doesn't hurt to give credit where credit is due.

lay of the drugs. lil G didn't want that Ward smoke

Anyone from 54-68 GGG retracted that challenge as soon as Ward put his hand up

Andre had a period of like literally 5 years in his prime where he fought nothing but bums. Go look up the time line, between drained dawson and kovalev 1.


GGG is older than him and still fighting, he showed up at 40 years old and he cant pull the trigger anymore, yeah he fought to survive. so what, Ward retired on a 5 punch combination to the balls on kovalev.

The level of defensiveness you have for someone you don’t even know is baffling to me. Saunders hasn’t taken the sport seriously in years and has essentially been a part time boxer for years. Not to mention he quit, so there is no debate. Especially when he’s someone who criticized another boxer for quitting. Smith was so dangerous that he got whooped by Ryder in his previous fight before facing Canelo. And if you have eyes, you can see that he also completely stopped trying to win. I notice you didn’t defend plant so odds are you’re British and are sensitive about Saunders and smith, but plant also showed that he quit when he decided that he wanted to have a friendly chat with canelo mid fight.

What was Ward's thoughts on fighting the zombie of Chad Dawson?

WTF? In Golovkin's prime, from age 30-35, which "killer" 160lb middleweight did Golovkin avoid? I love Andre but I don't know what the hell he's talking about...

Neither B.J. Sanuders or Eubank wanted to fight Golovkin, that's a matter of record. Charlo wasn't fighting at 154lbs until 2017 and more importantly, Charlo was fighting on the "other side of the street" and still refuses to fight anyone not with the PBC.

If Ward is talking about AFTER Golovkin got old he should be clear about that because everyone wants to fight the old guy. Hell, Canelo called out Andre Ward because he's old and Ward said no.

What did I miss?

I thought it was common knowledge ggg ducked ward. Also, ward seems upset with both ggg and Canelo. I haven’t heard him praise anybody besides Shakur Stevenson and Terence Crawford

Nothing. Andre "Son Of Golota" Ward is simply lying. Again. It tends to happen when he opens his mouth.

its hard to pay too much attention to what pampered a-sides say, they live in another world most of the time

It's a lie that Ward relentlessly perpetuates because of his own massive insecurities and covert narcissism. The truth has been relayed numerous times by Tom Loeffler (one of the most honest men in boxing); here is one interview in which he discusses the subject at length: https://********/Wbm5TbAtPs8
