Comments Thread For: Golovkin Says Time is Not Right For Andre Ward Clash

[Larry the boss]

And Mayweather at 154, that's because he must be scared of Lara...

Well Lara did call him out and his team said no

Golovkin runs his mouth saying he'll fight anyone from 154-168,yet the time aint right to face the 168 king because he sees a career high payday on the horizon versus Cotto or Canelo in NY or Vegas,make your mind up bitc.h,you ran your mouth.

I love watching GGG,but he needs to stop with the bs,he shouldn't have sounded off about Ward or 168 if he wanted the easy pay days at 154 n 160 first.call Froch or Jr. out but don't go biting off more than you can chew,Ward derails your train.

and people blamed sergio for "ducking" ggg, this is the same crap

Same division bro, so obviously it's not similar at all.

Again, people are being totally unrealistic. They want GGG to move up in weight and fight Ward NOW, when the fight literally can't even happen now. What GGG is saying is the exact same thing Ward has said - they want to fight each other eventually.

What GGG is doing is exactly what he should be doing- cleaning out the middleweight division collecting belts while he waits for his mandatory crack at the WBC/lineal title. He has a huge potential fight from either Cotto or Canelo right around the corner. If he unifies the division and gets that big name on his remume, that is exactly when he should move up in weight and fight Ward. By then, Ward will hopefully be done with his two tune up fights that they said they want him to take whenever he does step back in the ring.

So again GGG is just saying what we already know. Ward vs GGG CANNOT happen anytime soon, so what is GGG supposed to do? Say he'll fight him knowing damn well he can't fight him yet? Makes sense.

As far as people repeating the "what happened to Team GGG saying they'll fight anyone from 154 to 175?" Well obviously two things 1. That was mostly Abel Sanchez hyping up his guy as well as Golovkins manager and 2. They were saying that before Golovkin got into the position he's currently in, which is a mandatory spot for Cotto's belt after Cotto fights a voluntary match. Obviously they aren't going to want to risk losing an opportunity for a big name fight that is also for the lineal title, something GGG has been waiting on for a long time.

This is no different than Floyd telling Margarito "it will be bigger later". So why are the people who supported Floyd then, mad at Gennady for doing the same thing?

Ward also said he wants to move up to light heavy and ignored Stevenson's call out. We know he won't face Kovalev either.

Why should the draw (GGG) move up in weight for the B side?

Good post.

Ward runs his mouth about one day moving up to heavyweight and light-heavy for new challenges since he cleaned out 168, but when Stevenson called him out he didn't respond.

Ward talks of moving up and staying up,growing into the division,ie putting on ten + pounds naturally and staying at that weight concurrently,not moving up to move down to move up again,that's unnatural,we're talking about natural progression,something Golovkin clearly cares about but doesn't care about sounding off his mouth saying he'll fight anyone above or below 160 ! The guy is a proven hypocrite,notice he dont sound off no more since Ward said stop using my name or get in the ring !

uh no its not. floyd turned down 7 million to fight sharmba for 4, then judah for 5, then priced himself out by wanting 20 million, etc.... i dont see ggg turning down ward offers and fighting for less. also floyd and marg were in the same division.

Golovkin getting alot of hate for saying he's ready and willing to fight Ward, but that the fight's not ready to happen yet.

He should've pulled a play from some other fighters out there who call a guy out, knowing the fight's not actually capable of coming off. Loeffler & Hearn tried to make Golovkin-Froch and HBO shot it down because it's not ppv ready, and that's a bigger fight than Golovkin-Ward since Carl brings fans to both the arena & foreign tv. And then there's a little matter of Ward being sued by his promoter for $10million and being stuck in that contract until November 2016.

Then people could've hated on Golovkin for calling out Ward knowing the fight can't be made.
