I am a big GGG fan but how come nobody from the media asked for Ward?

[Jim Jeffries]

Yes. This is the best point. Dont understand why so many people are calling for GGG to fight Ward. He has business at 160, not only would he make more money fighting Cotto but it is a much easier, but still exciting fight. As far as him calling out Chaves Jr, again it is about money, for some reason Jr is a big draw. Probably Ward would price himself out of negotiations even if the fight were on the table, keeping in mind GGG is the bigger draw, cant see this fight happening.

Yeah GGG is a small, still largely untested MW. I'm still baffled how a "big fan" would be calling for him to jump up immediately and face a larger, prime, seasoned guy who just might be the best p4p boxer in the world. Is that what p4p means? Beating up smaller, less experienced fighters? Especially when there are several more profitable and winnable fights to be made. Now if GGG fights and beats Chavez at 168, people could start calling for him to face Ward. Until then or maybe Froch, it doesn't make any sense.

Do you actually believe Cotto will fight him even at 157?

Sure I do, who has Cotto ducked in the past?

[pesticid]

No? Rodriguez made $1m and that was with Haymon screwing the fcuk out of them.

Anyhow, all these questions about Ward were addressed the last time Golovkin fought. They're not interested, and while Ward claims through his lawyer he can fight, he remains on the sidelines, presumably for good reason.

I doubt HBO wants the fight either to be honest, why risk a global potential star getting hugged to death in a boring Oakland UD.

Oh ok, so once again Ward can make fights with Kessler, Froch, Abraham and Dawson but can't make a fight with GGG. Dude, the excuses are becoming pathetic.

He wasn't even willing to face Rubio of last night.

[Bullrider]

So they want GG to move up, but don't require Ward to do the same thing. Unbelievable hate this guy gets. Why don't you just admit you want him to lose?

[Weebler I]

Why are you acting like he hasn't been in litigation with his promoter in the past 12 months and has fought no one?

If Ward can make fights, why isn't he fighting? just answer that.

Idgaf, I'd watch Ward v Golovkin. Am I excited about it? well, does anyone get excited about a Ward fight?

[tesla_power]

It seems you are a bigger fan of ward than ggg. Ward has been inactive far too long unless you count social networks or court proceedings. It is expected interest in him waned.

NO, BECAUSE WARD ISN'T FIGHTING ANYONE.

It's not freaking rocket science. Ward and his promoter cannot get together to make an agreement on anyone right now. Ward himself has said so. There's no reason to think anything has changed with Goossen's passing.

Until they prove otherwise and Ward gets back in the ring, there's no reason to assume Ward is suddenly able to make whatever fight he wants. He hasn't been able to this year at any point.

[New England]

ward would f#cking whitewash golovkin.


that said, i have no beef with inquiries not being made. ward isn't getting back in the ring any time soon.

[Jim Jeffries]

He wasn't even willing to face Rubio of last night.

Probably because it made zero sense over potential fights with Mayweather, Canelo or GGG? Surely you're not suggesting that Cotto was ducking Rubio?

Sure they do, they might not be on boxingscene and I might not be his biggest supporter but he had better ratings against Rodriguez than GGG had against Geale.
