Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Interested in Kessler Clash

[BattlingNelson]

Did Kessler or his team make a move to secure the fight? Or was it Golovkin's team that approached them?

Yeah. Why bother answering?


If you had read the article, you'd have known that Kessler isn't ready to return before late autumn. Ward on the other hand, has been looking for a fight for a very long time. They even asked Sauerland for an offer which they flat out turned down. They said they'd make a counteroffer but didn't.

After it became clear that GGG had no dancepartner for July, Ward has done zilch to try to get the slot. Why?

Not Ward's fault though. Goosen won't let him out of his contract though

All fights offered are step backs though, better to do nothing than step back

"Golovkin’s built his reputation on saying he’ll fight anybody. I raise my hand and say I’m somebody. Let’s do it. [But] nothing. And then they circumvent and try to go to Chavez. First they said we’re going to stay at 160 and clean it out. Then Chavez fell through and now it’s something else,” Ward would tell BoxingScene and other members of the media.

He wasn't saying that 6 months ago. He's talking now the coast is clear.

But Chavez Jr and Kessler do make sense, right?

Quack quack.

Of course they do, both are tough but winnable fights that'd bring a load of money and raise GGGs profile considerably. Ward is the kinda high risk fight that Golovkin should take once his reputation is secure, not whilst he's still being built.

I thought he had business to take care of at 160

I means seriously... Why in the world would GGG risk his current popularity fighting a technically excellent guy with an ugly and akward style, who never comes out of his backyard, has little to no following, and who nobody except hardcore boxing fans know? Why would he?

Especially knowing that he can still do that in two years time...

Well it would put him on the p4p list, probably at #2, considerably raise his profile, not to mention he would own the ring and whatever ABC belt Ward is holding at SMW, forcing guys who wants his belt to come after him, instead of screaming about how everyone's scared. But then again why would you want any of those things, when you can have false "most feared" title, that brings in nothing.
