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

ggg said he wanted to fight anyone from 154-168 didnt he?

Yes.
ill tell u how that call will go
team ward: i want to fight ggg
team ggg: i like mexican come forward fighters, no money, fight at 160

i get it, ward is risky fight so they want big money but after complaining about lack of opponents and then calling out everyone from 154-168 it makes the backtracking look bad

why would ward move down to 160 when ggg said he is willing to fight anyone from 154-168? chad offered to come down to 168

Why are you talking about Andre Ward? He's been retired for 3 or 4 years. Ricky Hatton has fought more than him recently.

Move up to 168. The 160 division is full of smaller fighters, and washed up former undisputed Middleweight Champion.

u can duck him by saying u dont want to fight him because the time isnt right, thats what ggg trainer said. u only make offer if the other party is at least interested, ggg team dont want it.

Mostly just inactive and washed-up boxers at 168 now.

168 is a weak division, while 160 has many good up-and-comers.

ward should move up to 175.the 168 division is full of washed up former champs ward should have moved up a long time ago. instead of trying to fight the smaller ggg who would knock out ward anyway.ggg still needs to clean out his division unlike ward.

Ward still has a better resume than GGG even though he's inactive for 1 year and 2 months.

Former Hype Jobs and Boogeymans Arthur Abraham, (Edison Miranda (2x), Jermain Taylor), and Lucian Bute (Edison Miranda, Sakio Bika, Glen Johnson), also both have a better resume than him.

I love to see your face once 33 yrs.old Golovkin is expose this year.

My post #200 on that thread...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This article below was published by The Ring on January 5, 2014:


RING and WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward has not dismissed the potential for bouts against either WBA middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin, RING and WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson, or Stevenson's 175-pound titleholder counterparts Bernard Hopkins and Sergey Kovalev.

But during a recent interview with ******.com, the 29-year-old 2004 Olympic gold medalist said there is uneven emphasis being placed upon him to make those fights come to fruition, particularly in regard to Golovkin (28-0, 25 knockouts), who will pursue his 16th consecutive stoppage victory when he meets Osumanu Adama on Feb. 1.

"There has been the [media] press about me, and this pressure for me to go up to 175 all of a sudden when I'm not a full-fledged 175-pounder," said Ward, who is THE RING's No. 2-rated fighter, pound-for-pound, behind RING 147- and 154-pound champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. "But there's no pressure on Golovkin, like, it's okay for him to say, 'Wait, not right now.' But it's not okay for me to say it. So those are the things that I sometimes scratch my head about."

(...)

Although Ward is involved in a lawsuit seeking separation from career-long promoter Dan Goossen, with whom he has had an ongoing contractual rift, he still expects to return to the ring in "March or April."

Having said that Golovkin and Kovalev are being touted as "the Boogey Men in their divisions," Ward invites an eventual match with Golovkin, a 2004 Olympic silver medalist from Kazakhstan.

"Hey, when that fight happens, it's going to be a great fight for boxing. A lot of people say that he's gotten a lot of unnecessary hype, but I've got a lot of respect for Gennady Golovkin," said Ward. "The thing is that against the guys that he's fighting, he's doing the things that he's supposed to do against those guys, I mean, he's getting them out of there."

(...)

Ward said that he would consider making his next fight against previously unbeaten 168-pounder George "Saint" Groves (19-1, 15 KOs) who scored a first-round knockdown during November's disputed ninth-round stoppage loss to Froch (32-2, 23 KOs) in an all-British brawl.

So: a year ago, Ward wanted to fight Groves next. He couldn't fight him, therefore he fought nobody since then.
