Comments Thread For: Duva: Golovkin vs. Kovalev Can Only Happen at 175!

[Dr Rumack]

Ward needs to rebuild his relevance. It shouldn't take long, as he's a gifted fighter, but he has to do it nonetheless. The Super Six was a long time ago now.

****** matchup. Kovalev is way better than Golovkin. Kov has a more dynamic style. Ggg won't be able to lay hands on him. Plus they're prolly 25 lbs apart.

Why do you keep posting this utter bollox? Golovkin's team are allowed to make an offer if they want the fight. But they don't. Tom Loeffler has already said that so why are you constantly trying to make roundabout excuses?

Fcuking dumba$$. Ward's minimum is like 1.75m. GGG has never made more than 900k. He's not PPV by a long shot. Where's the money gonna come from? HBO only, and if they're going to GGG first and have him make the offer, then Ward is not the A-side.

Tom Loeffler doesn't want to make the Andre Ward-Golovkin fight hence why he hasn't made an offer.

That's the top and bottom of it. I can understand why GGG's team don't want to face Ward right now but why do GGG fans have to try to twist things to make it out like Ward is the one preventing the fight?

GGG's manager, trainer and the man himself have all said they're not ready to fight Ward yet. So why are you trying to tell everyone the sky isn't blue? It's desperate.

Golovkin weighed in at 173lb for his last fight, so no, they're not that far apart at all.

I also think it's ****** to think Kovalev is 'way' better than GGG

Andre Ward beat everyone that matters at 68', that's the fight we should be talking about...

Triple G is talking about moving down to 54' to fight Mayweather... this fight should not even be mentioned until Triple G is at least fighting as a legit 68' pounder...

Ward's trainer just said they wouldn't be ready for that fight anytime soon, so not sure what your point is. Here's Abel Sanchez recently saying Ward is welcome to call Loeffler anytime, but he'd rather sound off through the media.

And even there it's muddy, Hunter said Ward had nothing to do with any letter sent to HBO.

And again dumba$$, how's Loeffler supposed to make this offer? Maybe that makes sense in your little parochial world

Well he doesn't want to make the fight anyway.

He already stated this after GGG's win over Geale. Tom Loeffler doesn't think the Ward fight makes sense for his fighter so it's a no go area.

Well he's not because he doesn't want to make the fight. He already stated this after GGG's win over Geale. Tom Loeffler doesn't think the Ward fight makes sense for his fighter so it's a no go area.

Maybe cause it's up to them to make the offer, and they don't work with that kind of money yet? That would not make financial sense, right? Makes sense?

Generally the money guy, self proclaimed A-sider makes the offer. Double so if he's itching for the fight like you guys are saying.

[ShoulderRoll]

GGG's team is on record saying that Ward doesn't make financial sense. BoxingScene even ran a headline on it which you can find if you do a search

It's clear they don't want that fight.
