      Froch won't fight Ward or GGG, what's your point?
      Don't know where you're getting your figures but I read an article which had Golovkin-Rubio second behind Chavez Jr-Vera.

      What does Froch have to do with what I said? What's YOUR point?

        Well, the article you read is wrong, which you based your opinion from and makes you wrong as well.

        Consistency is my point. Froch has as much to do with this as an old quote.

          If you say so. The difference is virtually negligible anyway based on the numbers you've posted so you haven't really said *** all with your original point. Kovalev was fighting Bernard Hopkins whilst Golovkin was fighting Rubio. The similar numbers don't really suggest that Kovalev is a bigger star than Golovkin.

          Regardless, Ward-Golovkin is still a big fight and one which Ward clearly wants before he moves up. Same way Golovkin won't move up because he's holding out for a Cotto or Canelo.

          Again, you'll have to elaborate on why you've brought up Froch because the subject was Ward-Golovkin-Kovalev

            Nothing makes sense with Andre Ward. Fighting outside of Oakland doesn't make sense. Moving up to take on a big challenge after cleaning out your division doesn't make sense. Guy is just a king with no throne, and no court.

              Ward is a joke, and a bad one at that.

                Haha, so mad that your little unwelcomed butt in didn't go as planned... You thought you were going to look so good too. Maybe next time, or never, considering your sources, I don't look for it to change any time soon.

                Kovalev vs Ward is just as big as Ward vs GGG. Saying GGG is the bigger fight can't be used as an excuse anymore.

                You brought up an old quote which renders your point of relevancy in the dirt.

                  I'm finding this Ward/Golovkin situation very amusing. Golovkin doesn't want to move up and fight Ward because he's waiting for a money fight against Cotto or Alvarez. Ward won't move up because he's waiting for a money fight against Golovkin. The chances either guy land those fights are slim, at least in the near future.

                  Both guys are in the same situation, basically, too good for the fighters in their division and too good for the money to seek them out, but unwilling to move up.
                  I agree with most points but same situation part. Ward cleaned out his division years ago. GGG is yet to do that.

                    Settle down there kid. Whether Kovalev scored a tiny bit more in the ratings with Hopkins isn't saying anything. But you thrive on minor victories so I can see why you're making such a big deal out of it

                    What old quote?
