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

I disagree with the folks who say he should move up, IMO he should continue to knock off all the other champions mandatories like he did with Cotto. Eventually they will be forced to fight him. Cotto has been granted only one non-mandatory defense and then he will have to either defend against GGG or vacate. I believe contrary to what most people believe if Cotto really wants to be considered MW lineal champion he will face GGG when he is due. But I might be delusional in thinking that Cotto has never duck anyone in the past.

Oh, absolutely. I actually think if Ward came down to 160 and had one tune-up fight there, GGG would fight him. And I used to think Ward would be betting favourite over GGG, but now I am not so sure. The stuff GGG showed in the Geale and Rubio fights is very impressive.

Forget about a GGG/Ward fight. Team GGG has made it clear it's not a fight they're willing to take. They're satisfied beating the hell out of second raters and no hopers

Even though they have made it clear they would eventually like the fight. Don't act ****** and keep spouting this false ****.

I wish GGG would fight Ward and end that ridiculous thought that Ward would beat Golovkin, it isn't happening. Gennady would break Ward down and stop him inside the limit. Take it to the bank.

Ouma kept most of the fight at a distance where Golovkin couldn't leverage his punches. In the end Golovkin adjusted/Ouma couldn't keep it up. Ward is stronger, bigger, more agile and can vary things. So far all the opponents of Golovkin were doing pretty much the same thing (after some initial foreplay) - they were being stalked all the way to a KO. Ward won't fall in for the same mistake, he will be changing things up, moving into close quarters. So as much as I would like to cash in on a sure thing, I'd give this one a miss as far as betting is concerned.

Ward, Chávez and Canelo shouldn't be considered they are not MW's. Ward= SMW, Chávez= HW I mean LHW, Canelo= a 1/2 pound above SWW. Cotto, Quilin, Murray and Lee are MW's.

Gennady is the future of the sport. 2015 will be his year.


Watch Murray will become "another bum" when Gennady beats 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.

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.

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 ******.
