Why does Ward-stans want GGG to move up?

[LacedUp]

I'm surprised I didn't see "LacedUp saw a vagina" on the list

I guess that would be the last time Golovkin fought a top guy

Which is never.

Haha.

Well GGG at least fought top guys in his division. Can Ward say the same? No.

People are acting like he cleaned out this whole division. He fought Kessler, Froch & Abraham. That's it. Even that was 4-5-6 years ago.

There are PLENTY of fighters in the SMW division worth fighting he didn't fight. I'd like to see GGG move up and fight Ward too, I'd like to see Ward fight Kovalev too.

And I honestly don't give a monkeys which weight it's fought at.

Kessler, Bika, Abraham, and Froch all went on to win SMW titles after losing to Ward.

As late as August 2014, every SMW belt that Ward did not hold was held by one of Ward's victims.
WBA (Regular) - Froch
WBC - Bika
IBF - Froch
WBO - Abraham

He's done it all 68. Time to move up!

[HeroBando]

The same double standard that warrants Mayweather, Canelo and other prominent welters and junior welters to move up and fight GGG. Yet GGG gets a pass for fighting limited opposition.

Nobody is moving up to fight Ggg. Cotto is lineal MW champ, Canelos recent fights are at mw cause he cant make 154. Nobody said Floyd should move up to mw (except his fans, to snatch an easy title from Cotto) but he is lineal at sww, where Ggg offered to meet him.

Do you even know what double standard means?

[BattlingNelson]

He fought Dawson and Rodriguez. Who would be among the best names on Golovkin's resume.

Yeah. They would be among his best 10 wins.

When did I say I was happy about Ward's schedule? Who cares? It's in the past. He's signed a new deal and will fight again much to your bitter disappointment.

When did I say I would be bitter about him fighting again? Do you even read my posts before barfing up something terrible and unrelated to the posts you reply to? Are you drunk?

What about Anthony Dirrell, Stieglitz and Bute? Conveniently forgotten.

Also, Degale, Groves, Dirrell Bros, Chavez, Ramirez, Sturm, Stevensson etc have all been doing something in the SMW division since Ward last fought Froch.

But if he feels there's nothing for him to do at '68, why stay there then? He should have moved up in 2011 after fighting Froch then.

We all know why these guys Want 3g out of mw. They want Cotto to remain champion sso Floyd can beat him at 160 and "make history".

Being lineal champ only matters when it's Floyd in line.

Who exactly wants to see that? Most here have made it clear that they don't.

I would like to see him fight Golovkin, the Dirrell brothers, DeGale, and Groves at SMW.

The WBC (Anthony Dirrell/Groves) and IBF (Andre Dirrell/DeGale) situations should be figured out by the time Ward is done with his tune-ups.

[BattlingNelson]

If Murray is "world Level" than how aren't Dirrel brothers and Groves? Also doesn't take a genius to see that Degale is clearly better than Murray as are the other 3.

Based on what? Iron Dan's personal eyeball test or fantasy fight analysis?

If your opinion Geale is "up there" then ok Speaks for itself.

I don't need a source to know that Cotto won't fight Golovkin. It's common sense that that fight is very unlikely to happen and even it is its nothing more than a money fight. Quillen likely won't fight him either.

Lets see.

And all the fights you mentioned are underwhelming. Yay he can unify against Andy Lee that sounds great

I think I speak for many when I say I'd rather see him move up and face real challenges than just blast out every dead average Middleweight going.

But at the same time you want Ward to stay waiting for a fight against a MW that may never move up? Why the double standard?

But if we're going to pretend that Martin Murray is the level of opposition he should be fighting then ok.

He should clean out his division as I see it.

[BattlingNelson]

I'm giving Golovkin this year. If he doesn't have the Cotto fight signed by the end of the year, he needs to move up.

How long will you give Ward? Its been more than 3 years since he was challenged.
