Comments Thread For: Team Andre Ward: Golovkin's Side is Running For Cover

[bojangles1987]

Sergio Martinez was a consensus top 3 p4per and one of the best middleweights ever for years in which he beat Sergei Dzinziruk, Matthew Macklin, and Darren Barker, but Golovkin is completely hated for doing the same thing in more impressive fashion.

Yeah, no agenda there doe.

Rubio makes him the mandatory for Cotto's belt. Golovkin's stated goal all along has been to clean out middleweight. Since when do fans hate a fighter for cleaning out their division?

I don't have a problem with the fight.. but why was everyone criticizing the same Cotto for fighting that killer named Rubio? People were going ballistic saying he should fight GGG.... maybe GGG is ducking Cotto?

I wish the admins could automatically assign the font color to White for anyone with Red Bars.

He isn't willing to "ditch" cleaning out middleweight if he moves up or down for single fights. He'd go back up or down and keep cleaning it out.

Doesn't seem to hurt other fighters' legacies when they clean out crap divisions. Not sure why everyone thinks it's so disgraceful for Golovkin to do the same. Well, I do know why the people who hate on him so much hate on him, but I'm sick of arguing it.

I agree. GGG could easily step up for a night, get his ass kicked by Ward, then return to his cleansing of the middleweight division.

One day these two will fight and Ward will crush this one hit wonder. I personally feel base on resume 50-50 is fair enough. You cant honestly believe GGG is better than Ward. Take his power away and what do you have from GGG? Ward does so many things very well in the ring. The man hasnt lost a fight since he was 16yrs old..... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Buster Douglas was a one hit wonder. Golovkin doesnt even have a hit yet.

Conveniently left out Williams and Pavlik.

I think the forum you are looking for is Pacland.com because red bars are a product of Pacquiao criticism, not actually being a bad poster. That is why inbreds like Golovkin, peyk-peyk and Kulkuyt have green bars.

That's how he got there, but he had people saying he was p4p #1 for beating the same competition Golovkin is slaughtering. He was keeping a high p4p ranking for beating mediocre competition and struggling with them.

He was p4p top 5 for beating Pavlik and Williams. It wasn't until after Dzinziruk and Macklin that people decided they wanted to vault him past Mayweather and Pacquiao.

I'd love to see the fight. I get why it won't happen, and to put all the blame on Golovkin's side is to ignore all the reasons why Ward isn't fighting anyone, let alone Golovkin.

Not sure how much stock you put in P4P lists. Personally, i don't give a rat's ass cheek about them. Either way, Martinez earned his stripes by moving up and fighting the best in a division north. He wasn't getting the best at 54. So he moved up and whipped the top two guys there. Why can't GGG do the same?

As for the Ward-GGG situation. I really don't care about the legal ****. The guy's manager says its doable if GGG wants it. I'm a take his word for it until proven otherwise. I was actually fine when GGG's team came out and said Ward isn't worth the risk/reward. I only recently became annoyed when they came with the PR bull**** about we'll fight, but Ward can't.

On a sidenote. A lot of GGG supporters like to speak on Ward's inactivity. Personally, if he's gonna fight the level of comp GGG has. I'd rather him not fight at all and wait for somebody relevant to sack up.
