Comments Thread For: Ward: Golovkin Fight Would Be Bigger Down the Line

[Dr Rumack]

it's more of an "our boxers / athletes are better than yours" thing

i'm of european lineage.

Bernard Dunne whupped all those yanks when he was over there mate. It was getting embarrassing. He had to come home to get a real fight.

Protecting their investment, not from Mora. No, I'm saying the ugly fight and the possible affect it had on future ratings and GGG's appeal is in part why HBO didn't approve it.

I just hope HBO gives Ward a chance to see if GGG truly is what HBO is making him out to be.

Just because I pick matts and GGG to lose to better fighters like danny and ward doesn't mean I hate them.

Yea HBO didn't approve it because Mora has a horrible unwatchable style that spoils and is given absolutely no chance of winning. Why would they put that type of fight on? At least Stevens had a chance with his power and didn't make it ugly as hell

You just want golovkin to fight an ugly style to make him look bad even if he dominates him, basically you're a "hater"

[Mr. Philadel]

the same people whoa re going to enter this thread saying "Ward ducked golovkin" are teh guys who would give him crap for "picking on a middleweight."


it's europeans, and they're still sore over the thundering ward put on froch and kessler. the kessler fight was almost five years ago.

word!!!....some dudes STILL salty!! LMFAO

SOG is right....that Triple G fight can marinate for now....but if he's trying to dance with his daddy, he'll be heading into that Triple G fight with a L and probably without his soul

How is Mora relevant to Ward and GGG fighting on PPV? Is Brian Vera also relevant to this? How about Fernando Guerrero and Derek edwards?

I have explained the context I referenced Mora in regards to the marketing/promoting of GGG and HBO's hesitation to make this potential fight. If you don't, can't, pretend not to, or flat out refuse to undersand that context, that is your choice.

Protecting their investment. A mora fight isn't TV friendly, may have hurt GGG's image, so they didn't approve it. IF this happened with other fighters we'd call it the same thing.

Lampley already annointed him better than Sergio. Sergio isn't looking to fight GGG. So go fight someone else.

IF Sergio don't want GGG then he should just hand over the title.

Ward amazing talent but also an amazing coward

He said GGG doesn't want the fight even tho he has yet to turn down a fight, people say he hasn't fought anyone?? Rosado just beat quillin got robbed but ggg walked through him, also just demolished stevens a guy who was supposed to be more powerful these aren't p4p champs but they're class challenge and golovkin is just walking through them!!! Ward continues to ask for fights he truly knows he can win and seems to be a bit of a know it all speaking for his opponent as well this being the case! ! Bottom line I dont care who Golovkin has fought he's earned the right of a big name and money fight!! Ward is just looking foolish and scared not knowledgeable!

I have explained Mora's predicament vs premium networks. If you're unable to understand this blazingly obvious point, your problem

Lets hope he fights Mora in Monaco so you can move on to "HBO is protecting G from Fernando Guerrero and Grady Brewer"

GGG needs to clean out the MW divison first mang, that means Quillin and Sergio

Yes. Assuming sergio avoids fight and politics hasn't changed then go for Froch and get your money. Ideally, gg and quillin fight and winner gets sergio for lineal.

Yea HBO didn't approve it because Mora has a horrible unwatchable style that spoils and is given absolutely no chance of winning. Why would they put that type of fight on? At least Stevens had a chance with his power and didn't make it ugly as hell

Wow, this is a great way of admitting I'm right while also criticizing me. Good job Russian. Let me be clear.

I wanted GGG to fight Mora when Mora called him out because HBO was promoting GGG as "the most avoided" fighter.

I agree with you the fight would be ugly and GGG would win.

I think HBO saw the above and decided we will wait for a more fan friendly TV opponent that doesn't do any damage to GGG's marketability.

I think HBO made a smart business decision.

If he has a bad TV fight and doesn't get a KO-so what?

I'd like to see HBO set up a ward/ggg fight the way I posted earlier in this thread.
