Comments Thread For: Golovkin Would Like To Face Andre Ward, But Not Now

[HeroBando]

I intentionally followed Ward's weight in the fight night -- he was reported walking 182-185... The one who doesn't face any problems in making weight at 168 is Froch -- he doesn't fluctuate...

Against Dawson he was apparently 176. that's ways away from 185

To rehydrate from 168 to 185 is 17lb, right? Canelo rehydrated at 172lb for the Trout fight -- this is 18lb...

That was Dawson though, not Ward. Ward went up 8lbs, which is not that much.

This is totally false, if you followed Ward like you say you do, than you know he only rehydrates in the lower/mid 170's fight night. He was 176 vs Dawson's 188, 175vs Froch's 176. When has Ward ever had problems making weight?? He fought undersized @ light heavy during the 2004 Athen's summer olympics. He started his career as a middle weight. Both trout and canelo during their fight vs each other both weighed 173 and 174 on fight night, and they fight 2 weight classes below ward. If Ward walks around 180. Than how much do you suppose the top light heavy's walk around? i'll tell you both adonis and sergey fight night weights their last fights where in the high 180's. When in reality ggg , quillin, rosado, murray, barker, and all the other middle weights hydrates to the 170's, same as Ward's fight night weight. Oh and here is an interview with ward saying he would eventually move to light heavy @175 and that is actually his walking around weight. listen between 30-40 seconds. He doesn't give his accurate walking around, but he does say fight @ 175 would be like Mayweather fighting @ 147, indicating how may doesn't put on much weight and that would be just like him "Ward" fighting @ 175

just because he doesnt want to fight ward yet it's called ducking? he hasnt even fought in 168, let him unify first then we'll see what he can do at 168

What did GG rehydrate to in his last fight? I know against Macklin it was 170 which was his highest at the time. I also remember Quillin rehydrating to 180 in one of his fights which is pretty big.

[ShoulderRoll]

Are you kidding me? You're maybe used with such ******ities -- as your fighters (Ward, B-Hop) "called" Floyd... The same goes for Golovkin... Floyd has no business in fighting again at 154 -- not at his age...

Just to be clear.....you think that Golovkin calling out Floyd is a ******ity. Correct?

[Kagami Taiga]

Smh such a ****** debate. Ward ist a perfectly sized smW and golovkin is a perfectly sized mW. Neither is ducking the other. But it might be the fight they both need to take honestly.

I don't believe HBO gave fight night weighs vs stevens. I'll try and find it. But yes the top middle's are rehydrating in the lower/mid 170's. I do believe Quillin was like 169-170 vs Rosado's 175 on fight night. Also quillin started out as a super middle.

I bet my teeth either Edwin Rodriguez or Carl Froch would have smashed that lowskilled C level brawler Golovkin.

According to the picture on your avatar, you don't mind someone without teeth. And I doubt long, looping Rodriguez's telegraphed punches would work against GGG and Froch almost got laid out by a guy who doesn't hit nearly as hard as GGG. Anything can happen in Boxing and you wouldn't be betting your teeth on anything that is not a proven guarantee.
