Comments Thread For: Is 2015 Finally The Year of Gennady Golovkin?

[Eastcoast]

Agreements like that are etched in contracts, not verbiage. If he was serious as you proclaim him to be, he should have sent a contract, whereby we would then see just how much he really wanted to fight him at the present time, disregarding any belief you may have of Golovkin, or his team, of their intent to fight him. And don't go on and say, "well they aren't serious about fighting, so why send a contract?" Really a weak argument. The fight will happen in due time. Don't play ******.

For the first time in over a year Andre Ward is eligible to make a fight with Gennady Golovkin, and he's suddenly quieter than ever about fighting him.

GGG: Ill fight anyone 154-168

Andre ward: ill fight you at 168

GGG: that fight doesnt make financial sense, ill fight cotto he just won a belt. I want to unify titles

GGG fans are blind to that fact. "not in the same division doe". Well, ggg laid out the challenge. Ward accepted and GGG wasn't even interested.

What's wrong with unifying the titles at 160 then moving to 168?


Don't worry, Ward will be there. He's so reluctant to move to 175.

"Moving to LHW after the Super Six doe"

Makes me think of Hagler, he dominated MW for years again less than stellar competition, never moved up but took on all comers at his weight. Eventualy the big names came to him. He's regarded as a great now, I don't see why things should be different for GGG

Andre Ward: I'll move up to 175 to fight Bernard Hopkins.

Chad Dawson: I just beat Bernard Hopkins at 175, fight me.

Andre Ward: I'm at 168, come here.

thats not even how it went down. You could try again tho

you can make the same argument for ward. He should be able to unify titles before moving up.

You want to see Froch and Abraham 2? For what? He beat them, in the Super Six.

He can fight Dirrell, fine. Then move up, like he said he would years ago.

I feel you, but ward hasn't unified titles and would be great for his already good resume

Just saying he would fight him at 168 is not laying out a challenge.

Ward is the champion at 168 and GGG isn't even ranked in that division. So for the fight to happen, Ward would would need to offer GGG a shot at his title.

That would be laying out a challenge, and Ward didn't do it.

Same thing with Carlos Monzon, another ATG MW champion.

[Scipio2009]

Floyd and Manny both fight at the same weight, but yeah, Ward seems to be the guy with by far the best chance of derailing the GGG juggernaut if (or more likely, when, given the relative dearth of big fights @160) Golovkin moves up to 168.

Ward - GGG will happen but don't expect it this year.

The moment that Abel Sanchez went out of his way to say that Golovkin crushes any fighter 154-168 and publically putting him as the third best middleweight ever, just behind Hagler and Hopkins, Golovkin has had Andre Ward problems.

Funny to watch the entire camp going into stammers the moment that Ward;s name is even mentioned, lol.
