Comments Thread For: Ward's Trainer: Can Golovkin Do That With The A-League?

[bojangles1987]

I'm hoping this fight happens soon.

Next year, definitely. All they have to do is keep winning. If Golovkin gets to fight Martinez and beats him, it's a guarantee. Both sides know it.

At this point, Ward genuinely outboxes GGG. Bigger, stronger and faster. Doesn't mean I don't want to see the fight and don't give Golovkin a chance. I just think he really does need to face the elite first. And I have no doubt he wants to. I hope he gets his shot this year because he deserves it.

Its not about GGG level of competition its about how many viewers he's commanding compared to Ward. You have a few potentially great fighters out there but they still can't draw flies to shyt, and that includes Ward who rarely fights anywhere outside his home state.. GGG internationally is just as popular as Ward IMO

I'm really more intrigued by GGG vs Lara if possible

Well, there's not many A-League Boxers in MW right now. Sergio, Sturm(?), Murray(?).

Hunter is right about the level of competition. Ward has fought a listers across the board. GGG would have to fight at least 6 guys that would even up to Wards fight with Bika. Loeffler just turned down a fight with Lara. So much for anytime anywhere.

Lol, where did you get that info? A fight with Lara is IMPOSSIBLE. As long as HBO isn't working with Golden Boy the fight CAN NOT be made. This isn't a joke by HBO, they kicked Adrien Broner off their network bc he's with GB and Broner was one of their top 2 draws. Do you really think they are itching to work with them for an Erislandy Lara fight?? The guy is a zero in terms of TV ratings. Jeez some people have no sense when it comes to hating on fighters

[IMDAZED]

Hunter is right about the level of opposition, but fails to address who is the bigger draw.

Anyway if Ward is willing to go down to 160, I think the fight could be made very quickly. As it is GGG has lots of unfinished business at MW.

Neither fighter is a big draw - GGG certainly isn't a star or a bigger draw than Ward. Maybe in the future but not now.

GGG gets great ratings but posters forget he fights in the theatre at MSG-5,000 fans not MSG arena like cotto-22,000 fans. There is a difference.

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

They both need to stfu and fight already.

I reckon GGG is a bigger star worldwide than Ward. In the US alone they might be equal for what I know.

No one can beat Ward at the moment apart from Andre Dirrell because of his reflexes and difficult style. Ward's timing is still spot on. Only age will beat him, when his fitness gets called into question and his reflexes are not as good. People underestimate him but that guy is really good.

100%. I have said for years the only person who could beat Ward is Dirrell..

You must think GGG is bigger than Ward??
