Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Explains Gennady Golovkin Situation

[ETG]

Posters are hilarious. I like GGG a lot but he and Sanchez talk to much. They have thrown out an open invitation to any body from 154 to 175 but when ward says I'm willing..... Suddenly the fight makes no sense. I for one would pay for a ward/GGG ppv but I'm not sure if goossen and k2 can put an undercard together that anybody would care about. K2 acts as if GGG is getting 5mil per fight and a ward fight would only net him 500k. They would both go home for this fight on either platform with 1mil plus. If GGG was serious instead of targeting a limited Chavez or a small cotto he would fight ward. Ward never stated an intention to move up in weight and makes a good point when he says after a potential kovalev fight he would have no additional options at 175. At 168 he has potential fights with groves, Chavez, and GGG why not wait?

No faster way to becoming a star and a Draw than beating the #2 P4P Fighter in the WORLD so some of these "EXCUSES" for not fight Ward is very lame considering who some of these guys have fought against their last few fights.


People wouldn't tune in to see Chavez Jr try to defeat the #2 P4P fighter in the world? REALLY? NOT BUYING THAT BS AT ALL!

Then some want Ward to chase down Kovalev REALLY? WTF has Kovalev done in this sport in which the #2 P4P Fighter in the world should go CHASE HIM?

Fans are very hypocritical, if you SCARED and SCARED FOR YOUR FAVORITE FIGHTER then just say that instead of just making up a bunch of BS like "WARD Don't Want To Leave His Back Yard" another **** excuse. You clean out your division he has and you get to #2 P4P you can do WTF You Want And Fight Where You Want! You don't bow down and obey fighters (and their fans) who haven't accomplished even 1/4 of what Ward has don't so far in his still young career. Most of these guys have yet to even fight the best in their Division but feel they can tell someone like Ward what he "SHOULD DO"?

Bottom Line, most of these dudes don't want to fight Ward simply because THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T WIN! If he was beatable and had a lot of flaws like Froch and other then yes absolutely they would be begging to fight him.

Kessler wants a return. He was asked to give an offer which he did. After receiving the offer Ward said he'd be back with a counteroffer but he didn't.

So stop the crap about nobody wanting Ward.

Really, I don't see Kessler going public with it, so what percentage out of 100% does this one guy make, lets reword it - 99.9% of the fighters in my weight division 1 division down and 1 division up do not want to fight me, are you happy.. he said it best I am #2 p4p with a belt and noone calls me out....

That's the crap about fighters wanting Ward.

I been saying it... everybody ducking Ward....

This is why I fk's with Ward and wish him a prosperous analyst career after he's done with the sport. GGG hasn't said two single words with his name in the mix yet people jump on him like he's the one who said it. Got an issue with how ward's name is used? Talk to K2 and Sanchez. Anyone who takes a minute to do some backstory search on Gennady would know he's the victim of boxing politics from day one...they (both showtime and HBO) rejected bringing him to the states to fight. The shhh he had to do to be here is commendable, he could've stayed in Germany had a storied career and that would've been it. People here would still call him a duck and a hypejob...but people never sit and read thoroughly who they are criticizing. GGG and Ward are victims of their own skillset..them dudes had to go about earning their straps and shhh the hard way. Say what you want about resumes...he's a star now and still struggling to get people in the ring. Same for ward. We sit here and kiss the @ss of all these spoiled mofo's in the sport who've had management hand them the world on a platter, these two dudes had to take the food, beat up the person who owned the plate and eat while baiting the promoter to toss in another victim.

you gotta keep fighting to keep winning

Who at 168 can even remotely challenge him?

So much contradiction...

[hitking]

Ward is a great fighter.... but at times.. I do think hes a little delusional.

I would debate you on this. But I'd hate to break the illusion of our lovefest around here

Ggg doesnt want to fight the guy and they made it evident, though his fans say otherwise... Thats a funny trend around here, a fighter and his team can say one thing but the fans will take it and make it into something totally different or ignore it like it was never said
