Why aren't Ward fans calling for him to move up?

[HeroBando]

I don't think there is an A side in the fight. I think the purse should be a 50/50 split. around 2 million a piece.

Too bad youre not on Team Ward, who insist theyre the A side. I also very much doubt Ward would fight Ggg for the same money he got for tuneup Rodriguez. Even than its 4m in combined purse, 3x highest combined for a Ggg fight. Highly unrealistic of Ward to expect an offer with that equation

Ward has fans?

As Floyd fan Kevin Iole writes:



I take it you feel Floyd's big time credentials at SWW are a sham. 2x, unified, reigning, LINEAL champ is below paper grade, right?

When is the last time Floyd has defended his titles a 154?

If GGG can make 154 comfortably then lets see him do it. Floyd will probably stipulate that GGG cannot weigh more than 156 or so on fight night.

I think Floyd will fight him if the weight is even. Then all you GGG-hopers can cry together when Floyd beats him the same way he did Canelo.

Theres a big difference bro. "Welterweight" Floyd is a 3x champion at 154 and GGG said he is willing to go down to jr mw to fight him. Ward isn't willing to go down to middleweight. Nor do I want him to. I'm just point out the difference in the two situations. GGG has the Cotto vs Canelo winner for WBC mw title to fight. And Quillin if he ever grows a pair. Who does Ward have??? Nobody bro. Time to move up.

Yo Rigg… I’m not against Ward moving up. But lets be honest. HBO built this Kovalev guy into a monster. If B Hops exposes this guy (and I think he will) then what’s really at 175 for Ward?

Adonis Stevenen has proved to be a PUNK and Ward would beat the brakes off that funny lookin cat anyway.

Ward literally has NO COMP. He’s so good that anyone he fights is basically considered a mismatch. It would take a CATCHWEIGHT against Mayweather for ppl to actually give an Andre Ward opponent a chance.

I understand why GGG wants to move down. It makes sense. However, his fans want to act like Andre Ward is some type of no name bum. Please. Andre Ward vs GGG is a mismatch in SKILL. I just wish GGG fans would face that, admit it and move on to the lesser threats like Cotto and Canelo.

No, GGG vs. Ward is more of a SIZE mismatch. Kinda like Marquez/Floyd was also a size mismatch.

Ward has fans?

Why are you hating?

The guy is an undefeated world champion that literally has no rivals or even peers near in or near his weight class.

He's the RIGO of the Supermiddleweights!

GGG hasn't even cleared his own division out yet. He doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Andre Ward to be honest.

Lets see GGG beat a B level fighter first.

Listen, Floyd has held a SWW title for 2.5 years straight. He's the fcuking Lineal champ!

Oh he can beat him with a massive rehydration limit? Wow, that's amazing. I think Omar Narvaez could knock the **** out of Floyd with a rehydration limit of 125lbs.

Rigo doesn't clinch every 10 seconds.

Ward is good great not so much yet in my eyes his litmus test is approaching whenever he gets the stones too move up - what fights are left for him at 68
Dirrell brothers and maybe bute
i can name 3 fights at 75
Pascal Kovalev Adonis

How are the two comparable?

Did Ward and GGG agree to a weight limit?

Or are you saying GGG is too tiny for 168?
