Why does Ward-stans want GGG to move up?

[BattlingNelson]

If SOG loses then he loses. No excuses.

But we Ward fans actually want the fight, the Golovkin fans don't. That's a fact.

But why dont you want Kovalev instead now that GGG has better options at MW (Cotto)? Ward-Kovalev is at least as good a metchup as Ward GGG.

Why the double standard?

[BattlingNelson]

I could care less what Ward does. I would like to see GGG move up though. There is nothing for him at MW. The talent is very limited in that division, so he is there just wasting his time there, beating up a bunch of guys that aren't going to get him anywhere.

Disagree. There's Cotto and MW is the second most significant division in boxing.

Andre Ward: I Can Beat a Klitschko

http://www.boxing.com/andre_ward_i_c...klitschko.html

Oh dear. Ward stans won't like this truth-bomb.

[BattlingNelson]

Because Abel Sanchez was clown enough to openly talk about Golovkin running through every fighter 154-168, not expecting Ward to raise his hand, and Virgil Hunter has never said anything near that foolish on Ward's behalf.

Hunter might not have said 'anything near that foolish', but Ward has said it himself! See above.

Ward and Golovkin are basically the same size; though Ward is taller/longer.

[BattlingNelson]

Because he's cleaned out the division and doesn't have any competition at MW. Simple as that. Unless he starts fighting JMWs. Like Lara Cotto and Canelo. He should move up to 168 where the comp is better. Once you clean out a division it's time to test yourself, further. Just like how people want Ward to go up to 175.

Cleaned out his division? Are you on prescription drugs? Crack?

Who exactly has cleaned out his division (years ago). Ward or GGG?

[Bigg Rigg]

There is no double standard. Ward fans want GGG to move up to see the best fight in boxing after May 3. GGG fans want Ward to move up so GGG doesn't have to face him when he moves up.

I see right through guys. Stop it!!!

Ward has nothing left at 168 for like 3 years now. GGG hasn't cleaned physical his division.

[IronDanHamza]

Disagree. There's Cotto and MW is the second most significant division in boxing.

Historically it is but at the moment it's a poor division that Golovkin is head and shoulders above the rest.

Miguel Cotto is the lineal champion there for crying out loud.

Andy Lee has a belt, a brain damaged Jermain Taylor had a belt until he was stripped for being brain damaged.

Speaks for itself.

The big fights and better fights are at 168.

But why dont you want Kovalev instead now that GGG has better options at MW (Cotto)? Ward-Kovalev is at least as good a metchup as Ward GGG.

Why the double standard?

I want both. And Cotto will vacate.

[LacedUp]

GGG fan boy logic:

GGG: "I will fight anybody 160 and up!"

Ward doesn't say anything.

GGG's team start calling out Ward over and over again.

Ward says nothing.

GGG's team continues to call out Ward.

Ward: "Fight me at 168 then!"

GGG: "No, Ward is too much"

GGG fan boys: "Wtf Ward is obessed with GGG, move up fight Kovalev"

Ward years ago: "I want to move up to 175, but not until I'm done filling out"

End.

Ward in 2010:

"I want to move all the way up to heavyweight"

Ward in 2015:

"I need to fill out before I go to 175"

Not sure about most but I want Ward to fight both GGG and Kovalev. It makes sense for him to meet GGG at 168lbs first then move up for Kovalev. Ward has already stated that once he moves up he's not coming back down. Besides, after Kovalev who else is there for him to fight at 175lb?

We all know GGG will move up soon, Froch has already declined to fight him so after Quillen there are no big names left in the 160lbs divsion. Ward can get two big fights at 168lbs (GGG, Chavez Jr) before moving up for one big fight at 175lbs (Kovalev)
