Comments Thread For: Andre Ward-Edwin Rodriguez Finalized For 11/16 on HBO

Rodriguez is a good fighter but Ward should win. It won't be easy though. It's funny how HBO put demands on Ward, won't even deal with Rigondeaux, but will put Martinez and Golovkin against bums in heartbeat.

Only Euros allowed on HBO they kicked off Broner and Thurman.

I usually read the prior pages, but I just had to say that this fight better be on ESPN!!

Haven't Ward (I've heard conflicting things), Hopkins, and Martinez all offered to fight Floyd at 150 (in Sergio's case)-160? Canelo weighed more against Trout on fight night than Golovkin did against Macklin, so is Canelo a coward because he seemed to be pushing for a Mayweather fight much harder than GGG has. Also, how are you defining 'calling out'?

From what I can recall, he said Mayweather would be his dream fight because he's the P4P #1 fighter and the money as well (or he insinuated it). I find it hard to take issue with the guy for throwing his name out there when Floyd offers the biggest payday. It isn't like he's calling Floyd a coward or demand he fight him above 154.

GGG and his team have talked about moving p and fighting guys like Ward where he would be at a size disadvantage as well. HBO is waiting on a Ward-Golovkin fight because they want both of them to build bigger fan bases.

Good post... They all did call Floyd... In this order: Martinez, Ward, GGG, B-Hop. But only Martinez offered to go down to 154...

Ward scared of bute. Too bad bute got a premature stoppage vs froch. Bute would've ko'd ward and ward knows it.

Well I think the key thing in this fight will be Wards curent boxing form. If he is still the same Ward then he is big favorite, but 1 year off, and shoulder surgery can have some effect. Therefore I believe it is a competitive fight.
