Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Andre Ward-Gennady Golovkin Will Take Time

[HeroBando]

I love it when people that use boxrec and think they know it all expose themselves. Go watch the Froch-Johnson fight and come back and tell me how he struggled to a MD.

He did struggle, he was getting caught by straight rights a lot, and dropped about 5 rounds. Iirc he reacted worse to Glen's punches than vice versa

Haha I'm pretty sure I dropped some IQ points already!

I hear what you're saying, it's essentially "let the fight marinate" logic. I'm not a fan of that myself since too often we've seen good fights that should of happened never happen at all as a result. Jacobs could lose, Golovkin could lose or move on to bigger and better things. It's risky but like you say, Jacobs probably doesn't have the confidence in himself thus the wanting to wait it out. If he had the confidence that Eubank is showing he would be all over it right now. I'm also a firm believer that the moment you get a title and call yourself a world champion, super or regular or whatever the hell else belts they have these days, you're obligated to fight the best in your division. It's a fairly simple standard that we as fans should want to see from all fighters, rather than playing boxing manager and trying to guess what strategy will earn someone the most money. It's annoying but I guess that's the reality of boxing in 2016.

I'm not even agreeing with what he's doing. I want the fight now. I don't even think it's marinating, he's just waiting on ggg to carry the fight. If he was trying to marinate it he wouldn't have picked someone like Mora to fight again.

yea going down to Mayweathers 5th division...lol man you cant make this **** up

So Floyd was a paper champ at 154?

Ward's a light heavyweight now, not sure why this topic is still being discussed on a daily basis.

EDIT: Of course I know why people keep bringing it up.

That's how you become a global star, ******. There's no other fight at MW that brings this much money anywhere else. I didn't say he was the face of boxing, I said he's heading there with moves like this, right after making superstar Canelo into boxings laughing stock

somehow some of you think that canelos draw will be dramatically affected and that ggg's will raise, bad news, casuals dont even know about all this , and those are the ones buying the majority of ppvs... canelo takes out his dog for a walk and telemundo puts him on their facebook page, very few hardcore fans or haters will see those pages instead nothing but casual fans, and you barely see any hate in there... unless ggg beats canelo in the ring nothing is going to change = B-side network fighter...
