Golovkin x Stevenson - same tact, different response

[bojangles1987]

In truth, I missed the part where Golovkin said a Ward fight will happen in the future

This is about a year ago.

Damn this thread got me red k'd twice. C'mon that's unwarranted.

I think GGG is a better fighter than Stevenson because he has never lost a fight and seldom losses a round. He has never been knocked down while Stevenson has been knocked out. If GGG calls any fighters out he does so in a respectful was while Stevenson is a trash talker, a bragger and a name caller. Ward said he would fight GGG but he never said when or where he would fight him or how much money the fighters would be paid. Until those details are on the table a serious offer to fight has not been made.

We all know why and it has nothing to with boxing.

Dude please. It has everything to do with boxing. Kovalev and Stevnson were in the same division on the same network. That fight should have been made and we all know it.

Ward should be moving up, not Golovkin

The guy has cleaned out the division so to speak so I would agree he should move up. Didn't Kovalev call him out and he wasn't really into that fight. I guarantee you if Ward moves up he's not taking a mega fight right away with top tier competition but I hope he does.

what people need to understand is and it's pretty simple if you're a boxing fan, Stevenson turned down the Kovalev fight for Hopkins, Hopkins is a top 3 light heavy with 2 belts. Stevenson is going for the more prestige and possibly more money. It's not a duck.

Was that Hopkins in the ring on Saturday? Dayum....he turned lanky and white.

It is when you're talking trash about Kovalev and calling him an easy opponent. If he's so easy, the best way to make the most money and get the most prestige is to beat Fonfara, beat Kovalev in a huge fight on HBO and then unify in a match against Bernard correct? This would have netted him the most prestige and the most money and if Kovalev was such an easy opponent what's the problem?

Hey ****** - Stevenson and Kovalev ARE IN THE SAME DIVISION. Golivkin and Ward are not.

Basically this! Without the ****** part though. Lol

It's still a duck! He avoided getting ktfo by Drago to get schooled by Hopkins. Less painful.
