Comments Thread For: Ward's Trainer: Golovkin-Chavez = Picking and Choosing

[M Bison]

I think Ward is the best P4P fighter not named Floyd Mayweather.

But, while he may be as good as Floyd in the ring, he's definitely not like Floyd outside the ring.
All I keep hearing from him and his team lately is nothing but complains.

He complains about not getting money fights but when Bute was offered to him he rejected it. When Froch offered a rematch in England, he also rejected it. He complains about a guy at 60 not fighting him, but he himself won't move to 75 and tackle new challenges there. He begged forever for a Chavez fight, but when it seemed his rival Froch was going to get the fight, he complained about how Froch was cherry picking.
Now his team is trying to call GGG a duck because he wants the Chavez fight, even though as mentioned he himself wanted the fight as well.

All of this on top of the fact he has been inactive with promoter contract issues.

I personally don't think he is anywhere near the same skill-set as Floyd Mayweather, he (Andre Ward) bullies people with his blatant weight advantage and clinching.

We see Floyd go in the ring and completely pick apart fighters whether they're taller or bigger than him he still dominate them without the need to clinch repeatedly, albeit he has used some dirty tactics but Ward brings it to the Bhop level of lack of sportsman-ship.

Also may I state that Ward said he'd like to fight Mayweather if 160lbs...

Why can't Ward move down to 160lbs for GGG but only for Mayweather?
So much hypocrisy thrown in these debates, Ward has had every little thing his own way!

He doesn't fight away in the super six tournament not once whilst every other fighter did, he has most of his fights in Oakland...
The referees seem to have a blind eye towards headbutts and repeated clinches?

IF I was GGG the only things I'd want to make sure about before fighting Ward is that one I have a neutral venue, two I know the referee isn't going to be in on the gig with Ward and three the referee actually enforces the rules and with all that I think GGG could very well beat Andre Ward.

Boxing is a business,he should always fight where he is most marketable at,every other fighters promoters agreed to the stipulation of fighting him on his home turf during the super six beforehand,so if somebody gives you advantage you should always take it,also in his last fight if I recall correctly he was deducted points,not a fan btw.

Ward re-hydrates to 175lbs which is one pound more than junior middle weight Canelo re hydrated to against Trout,huge weight advantage....

both fighters were deducted points at the same time. aka pointless.

What he's saying is all true if it werent for the fact ward openly wanted the chavez fight as well. It's clear they are just bitter froch and golovkin are gonna get the big money fight.

[frantic fighter]

Before the Chavez fight was made the plan for GGG was to fight Lee while waiting on the winner of Cotto/Martinez. Since GGG is not fighting in April due to the loss of his father, I'm sure their plan was still to wait on the Martinez/Cotto fight.

However, all of those plans like I already told you go out the window when Chavez calls you out.

And you speak of a Ward fight as if Ward was able to jump into a fight right away. The guy needs to square his legal problems with his promoter first anyway.

Do you have any links to support this "plan" you speak of also how can you be sure of anything relating to the mindset of Golovkin and his team.

Boxing is always a business when a fighter you support does something questionable. But when it's a fighter you don't like, then he is a coward/hypocrite/cherry picker etc.

Classic Andre Ward ducking legitimate opponents at the time, he is only willing to fight Adonis once he turns 40 and has lost several times.
Andre Ward is the black Joe Calzaghe, Sven Ottke would school both.

It isn't pointless as it works to discredit accusations of preferential treatment from referees in his fights.Saying that it is pointless speaks too bias.
