Comments Thread For: J. Mayweather on Golovkin: Forget Floyd, Fight Ward

[roademier]

It's simple, all Mayweather has is an "O", theres plenty of fighters with greater resume's than his in this era. He looses that O and his career is ruined.

That's not true.
Who is better now and if he does lose that "O" it's what he does after
that may well give us a better idea of who he is.

Porter /Brook is interesting and I'm looking forward to it. and the thing concerning GGG vs Ward/Froch/Chavez being more competitive than a GGG/Floyd fight is that we'll never know if none of them ever get in the ring. I'm a fight fan. I want to see the best up the ante. I'm not a fan of Bernard's , but damn if he's not making it hard not to root for him.

Chavez or Ward vs GGG I think will happen... they're all running out of credible options. I don't think any of them are scared, that's just school boy s1ht. But, the they are all very greedy. The downside to Floyd getting paid so much is that every elite-ish boxer now wants megbucks just to turn up.

GGG is willing to fight Chavez Jr at 68 but not Ward. Do you dislike him too?

GGG never said he would not fight Ward and has indicated he is hoping to fight him next year in the January article I saw. His manager was the one who previously talked about there not being money because of Ward wanting the Lion's share, not GGG. Ward has also indicated he would like the fight but he needs to break free of Goosen first. There is nothing wrong with making Chavez the first fight at 168, especially since the money would be there and Ward later. I don't have hang ups and bias for or against either Ward or GGG like some people on here do. Now if GGG demands that Ward defends his title at 166, then I have a serious problem with that, so stay on the tangent. And my original statement still stands: "Floyd already proved he is not willing to fight guys who weigh in at 154 for the 154 pound title. And some have the nerve to wonder why Prima Donna Floyd is disliked so much".

Floyd is a WW. Is the man not allowed to fight in his own division?

He's a 3x champion and the current WBC and WBA Jr Middleweight champion. Can the man defend the titles he has in that division??? Am I asking for something unfair???

is it just me or are the writers of these articles just digging threw old news and just posting it with a twist. i remember this being said before GGG even fought Geale. not to mention the articles here are a little padded lately. i wonder if they hired some of the boxing news 24 writers like ambrose or something.


and to the other posters that are talking about floyd fighting cotto at 154 and de la hoya at 154 yes he did fight them but Mayweather was 148 when he weight in so what does that tell you. GGG needs to stop beating ESPN fighters and hyped up britts and fight someone with a pulse.

Kinda the same situation here. To my knowledge, Floyd has never even ackowledged that he knows who GGG is publically. This article is his uncle talking. An uncle that isn't even a member of his camp. You give GGG a pass based on what a central member of his camp says. But go off on Floyd based on what a relative outsider, from a business standpoint, has to say. Seems a lil biased to me.

I like both fighters and Jeff is right.
I been saying the same thing. Everybody wants GGG to go after the smaller Cotto and Floyd. But don't want him to fight Ward

Man I hope Ward starts to call him out. So called cherry picker Floyd's Resume craps all over GGGs....time for GGG to start building a resume

Exactly!!....they kills me with that

[turnedup]

golovkin has never said "i don't want to fight ward" or "i won't fight ward"....the end.

Stop putting words in that man's mouth. Ward sat down with HBO and had the fight offered to him by HBO...Ward's answer: "The money isn't right". The reply from Sanchez: "Ward needs to know his place in a negotiation for a fight". How that translates into Golovkin won't fight him is ludicrous.

[swagman]

GGG might kill Floyd but that shouldn't get him any pointss. But I really dont want to see GGG fight Ward because I wanna see where his win streak takes him, and Ward will 12-0 him... Neither fight has a chance of being made though.

[SaldanaCC]

So lets say floyd vs ggg happens ....ggg must loose a bunch of weight which wont help him at all in the toughest fight he will ever have......come on now guys floyd drains him bye round 5 an gets the ud easy as for ward in my opinion is the best fight for ggg or canelo both ppvs that i would buy both tough challenging fights for both guys in those but floyd at 154 come on ggg stop reaching not everybody can cash in that mayweather cheack!
