    I don't understand why people think he's going to fight the Dirrell's. Maybe Anthony but he's not fighting Andre. There's a reason why they never mention each other. Didn't go deeper, but I just did a quick Ward/Dirrell youtube search, and there hasn't been anything regarding them in almost 2 years. Didn't they agree to not fight each other? If they were going to fight each other, that's something that would've happened before each got ****ed over with promotional problems.

      This reminds of when Floyd Mayweather fans were so desperate for Sergio Martinez to move up in weight to 168lbs so their guy didn't have to fight him at 154. Ironically, they tended to use Andre Ward as a human shield.

      I guess Kovalev and Stevenson are Golovkin's shields.

        I want to see the Golovkin fight. Why not do it next (or after Wards 2 tune-ups) at 164-165? You just want to see Golovkin at a weight disadvantage.

        Groves who is coming off a non impressive win and two KO losses to Froch? DeGeale who beat whom?


        Dirrell is the only worthy opponent for Ward, after his two tune ups.

          I'm obviously hoping James DeGale beats Andre Dirrell and then I'd love to see DeGale-Ward so I don't want him to move up yet. And all boxing fans should want to see Ward-Golovkin.

            He makes their favorite fighters look bad, puts Ls on their records, and is the next American boxer who will probably take over the sport after Floyd retires. Once Floyd is gone, Andre will be the new guy to hate.

              What the hell? Why would it have to be at 164-165? What is this puussy ****? Golovkin's team said he'd KO everyone from 154-168 and they signed to fight Chavez at 168. They want Froch at 168. But Ward has to be 164-165?

              You sound terrified.

                Yeah it has nothing to do with his incredibly ugly clinching style.


                He is on par with Wlad.

                  He cleaned out the super middleweight division before. He will be back but in time.

                    Tbh, I haven't seen nearly enough of DeGale to gauge how he would do against Ward. Gonna have to spend some time and watch some film. I don't really care if he moves up or not it's just his comments years ago saying he would when nothing was wrong promotionally, way before Golovkin came along and now you can't say either name without mentioning the other. Don't get me wrong I would absolutely love to see the fight, but Andre's just been frustrating for quite some time now.
