Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin's Trainer: We're Open To All Comers

[Dirk Diggler UK]

You continue to argue that GGG cannot afford to fight Ward as a loss wrecks GGG's marketability removing his cloak of invincibility. As GGG is the middleweight and Ward the super-middle weight, I believe you are wrong. It is Ward's rep that will suffer as he loses to GGG the middleweight, and lose to GGG Ward will. Ward cannot hurt GGG, but GGG can and will beat Ward as he's never been beaten before. As I see it, this is a rehash of Ali-Frazier I. A fight where fans were in denial even after Ali lost convincingly to Frazier. I saw it in '71, and you'll see it too if Andre ever gets his career on track. Count on it. By the way, Andre's official website has him listed as being 6'1" tall, so just what is his height?

Ward isn't the one that HBO are shoving down people's throats and hyping up to be a monster. Besides, Ward has already proven himself. If he loses to Golovkin, he still has a stellar resume to fall back on. Golovkin doesn't and he'll be seen as the guy who couldn't get the job done when he finally stepped up to the plate. All his momentum that he's been gathering in the past two years comes to a grinding halt.

For a guy who supposedly hasn't proved anything while moving up in weight, if Ward lost to him, it wouldn't be a big deal? That doesn't make sense. And if Golovkin were to lose to Ward, in would depend on the manner in which he lost to say all of that.

Ward actually has a lot more to lose. Most people expect Golovkin to lose a decision to Ward. Afterwards Golovkin is still marketable fighter because of his style.

If Ward gets KTFO by Golovkin, who's going to want to fight/watch Ward? He has a horrible style to watch, he doesn't stop guys, his whole persona is that he's unbeatable like a SMW version of Floyd. That's probably part of the reason he's been so risk adverse through out his pro career.

Losing on points to an undefeated champ a division above him wouldn't damage GGG's credibility or career. And he could quite possibly beat Ward.

Of course it would. It would remove his cloak of invincibility and it would scupper potential big fights at middleweight. If you think the likes of Cotto, Canelo, Mayweather etc are avoiding Golovkin now....imagine how easy it would be to avoid him if he takes an L.

GGG has been avoided BECAUSE of his cloak of invincibility. Losing it would probably make him a more attractive proposition to some, eg Cotto. And it wouldn't affect his marketability at 160 too much or his mandatory position with the WBC.

He would be moving up for Ward remember, and if he lost, it would almost certainly be on points. No disgrace in that, so long as he puts up a good fight.

Haha they're still idiots talking about a ggg-ward fight? I thought ward retired?

[joesaiditstrue]

No one exactly is stepping up to the plate to fight ward. Not even froch. Froch wants him over there lmao who won that 1st fight? oh yea froch should bring his ass this way. As for the "different division" excuse, yes thats an excuse, GGG is willing to fight chavez jr for no belt but wont fight ward for the linel title. Guess what? Chavez jr is in a "different division" as well

Who would you fight in GGG'S position? A big money fight vs chavez jr or a high risk low reward fight vs Ward?

Are you ******ed or just hating?

Erislandy Lara called him out and wanted a fight. GGG's camp said no way. Andre Dirrell said he'd fight him. GGG's camp said no. GGG's handlers dont want him in th ring with a boxer who has foot spped, hand spped, and power. GGG will lose has soon has he fights someone who can either move with their legs or someone who will put their head on his chest. GGG has got the HBO hype crew delusionally thinking hes the second coming of Mike Tyson. Soon has a astute trainer watches him load his gloves and punch the wall his power will become human. Sick of this guy!! Fight someone credible!!!!

Andre Dirrell said he'd fight him. GGG's camp said no.

Can you post a link? I never heard GGG team dismissed Dirrell directly. If there's no link, then you admit you are a lier?

[Jbose7]

The link is......watch his fight against Brinson and he says out of his own mouth I would like to fight GGG. Golovkino team then came out and said GGG is staying at 160.....now the Lara duck......there is a thread on here about it

Tureano Jones is vocal on twitter about fighting GGG. Does GGG duck him too?
