Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Team Say They Are Not Ducking Andre Ward

[carloscruz10009]

No true boxing fan believe GGG is ducking. Ward is a very talented fighter, but it's a lot like Rigo as far as selling goes. What makes ward worse is that he wants the lion share in all his fights even though he's not deserving. I could argue that ward is the one ducking. Ward has dominated 168 and has nothing else to prove there. Why not move up? There's kovalev, Stevenson and b hop to name a few who would make for very intriguing fights with good paydays. Dude is way over due for weight change. Change weight and take Danny garcia with you who also has nothing to prove at 140 but Is scared on the 147 pounders

I agree with Ward moving up and it was a b%$%$%$ move to make Dawson come down to 168... I also agree with your post about Danny Garcia should move up..... but I do think GGG is ducking cause he is the one that said he would take anybody on from 154-168... if he didn't say that.. I would just say.... WArd has to wait his turn.. GGG is also 33 years old.. he isn't no prospect.. his level of competition is still a little suspect...

GGG is a HBO star and rightfully so. He has produced KO's in his last 14 fights I believe. The competition has been a bunch of no names to be honest. Geale will be his toughest test to date. Froch and Chavez are household names for sure, but Ward even more so. He'll make a bundle of money if he travels to England to fight Froch. If he wins convincingly than the fight with Ward would be a no brainer. Ward needs to get his contract settled and back in the ring. But any boxing fan would pay to see that fight. Loeffler is bull****ting saying that this fight is not a money fight. Lets see it

ya i agree they are not giving boxing fans enough credit. Honestly i think boxing fans would eat this fight up even as a ppv.

whose the one in hiding and semi-retired? it certainly isn't golovkin.

ward following the floyd gameplan, which is to go on "retirement" when people ask you to fight dangerous fights.

I do think Ward talks too dam much... just get in the ring and let your first do the talking... I just don't think GGG and his team should say things about 3 weight divisions if they not willing to fight anyone in those divisions....

i think one thing we can all agree if were being 100% truthful whether you like ward or not that he just cant catch a break. To a big extent hes to good for his won good. No one wants to fight him which in return makes it to where he cant get meaningful fights and in return means down time which makes getting a fan base tough. And he is with a promoter that cant raise his profile to make things worse he will probably be stuck with him. One day ward will get lucky and get that big fight

What happened to the Ward vs Chavez fight that was talked about a while back... that would sell PPV-Wise.

[ChampBox@PR]

I agree with his reasoning for not fighting Ward right now... just dont say you'll fight at 154-168 and everyone's ducking, if that aint really the case

This sums it up! GGG is no different than any other fighter. So GGG huggers needs to drop the he'll fight anyone anytime!

Make good points but disagree. He is willing to fight at 168 just has to be worth it. He signed off on facing chavez. Diff is Chavez comes with ppv and career high payday, ward does not. Like Floyd always says, this is a business. If a fight doesn't make sense financially, why take it. If HBO offers 2 mils to fight Stevens and 2.2 mils to fight ward, without a doubt I will pick Stevens. None of the top fighters are scared to fight, just has to financially makes sense. People said Floyd was scared of canelo. After they offered him a career best payday, he went on to school the young boy.

You don't think Ward vs GGG sells on PPV? Gosh Ward has NOOOO fans...

Don't say you will fight anybody from 154-168
