Double standards in boxing

[Weebler I]

Despite Ward being the best 168 pounder-who was calling him out.

Ward never called Golovkin out, he came out from behind the couch and started talking when he heard Golovkin was staying at 160 and even then never said he wanted to fight Golovkin. Certain fans just ran with that.

This article clearly shows that Kovalev chose Cleverly when he had a Chance to choose Hopkin instead.HBO and Showtime are not the only networks out there also,Kovalev could have picked a network outside those 2.

Ward never called Golovkin out?Nice try,Ward has called out GGG numerous times interviews,he even put him on blast when he reminded everyone that-GGG claimed he`ll fight anyone from 154-175 but will not call Ward out for a fight.

That is the real pop problem. HBO wants to do things on the cheap since herschman got there.

The Network was Showtime

You're kidding right?
What network could support this fight?

Wasn't Murat Hopkins' mandatory? So Hopkins wouldn't have been forced to fight Kovalev right away. Kovalev had a guaranteed straight shot at Cleverly and an HBO contract so he took that rather than waiting for Hopkins.

Only when Kovalev signed with HBO did Hopkins start showing interest in the fight. Funny that.

The GGG one, I agree with you on. The hypocrisy from his annoying fans is incredible. He's taking Chavez Jr for the money - that's fine. Exactly what Sergio is doing fighting Cotto.

Fox sports,Box nation or other over seas networks.

[Outwest Exp 355]

It's always a cherry pick unless you like a certain fighter. Fan is short for fanatic. Truth is Floyd fans, GG fans, Danny Garcia fans, Pacquioa fans all act the same.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I think you left out CNN

Murat was Hopkins mandatory but couldn't get a visa.So the IBF put Kovalev as the mandatory to Hopkins IBF belt.At the time Hopkins and Kovalev wanted to fight Cleverly,but Hopkins said he was willing to fight his mandatory if the IBF asked him to,But Kovalev chose Cleverly,then after that Murat was able to get a visa so Hopkins fought Murat.
