Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Ward Goes Cold on Targeting GGG

[Mr.Daddy]

andre ward destroys ggg with ease ward is the best fighter on the planet better then Floyd and has beat the best guys in there prime with ease ggg camp just using ward and cotto name to get headlines ggg doesn't want the ward fight

Sorry. GGG gives Ward the beating of a lifetime. As for now, Ward won't even sign to fight Froch in the U.K.

[GRUSTLER]

It's obvious that Golovkin's fan base is being built up so I don't see them answering Ward no how. Ward would beat Golovkin easy.

Well if you call out someone, they're gonna respond. If you stfu, no one will say anything. No one was "going after" GGG until you opened your big mouth and reporters started asking Ward about the fight like they did to May and Pac about the fight. Team GGG made it clear they want nothing to do witb 168 unless it's easy money like Chavez Jr.

Not true, they also offered to go to the UK and face Wards best scalp Froch, who brings a lot of money on his home turf. But Froch would rather swerve him cause he punches like a mule

[johnnycontrolet]

RocNation will only feed Ward with tomato cans

[Rip Chudd]

Sure Abel. Should Ward come out tomorrow and say he'd fight GGG you'd whine about wanting to stay at 160 and clean it out again. You aren't fooling anyone, GGG isn't ready for that fight yet.

Saying hed fight Ggg wont help, he needs to come forward with an offer like the A sider he claims to be

[turnedup]

The Andre Ward c*ck suck*ng on this site knows no limits..seriously that man hasn't fought in eons can ya'll wait to see if he's lost anything before running with that nonsense about he'd win or not..seriously. Shhh is just pathetic, even Floyd after two years off didn't have mofo's this delusional.

[parrish duke]

Wait, more tune ups for Ward?
The guy's not p4p, he's Mr Tune-Up & Mr Won't Travel
If he doesn't want to fight Froch in UK let him keep his belt and be forced to face #1 mandatory for pocket change
He hasn't earned tune-ups. A weight drained Dawson that was iced quicker & more impressive by Stevenson. Ward ducked Bute & fought Rodriguez instead
Imagine if boxing was how Ward thinks it should be, there'd be far more undefeated fighters in the game that never travelled.
World champs that are scared to fight around the world. Who'd have thought it?
Pacquaio, Rigondeaux, Duran, Cotto, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Lewis, Monzon, Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Gomez, Tszyu, Hatton, Chavez, Gatti, Trinidad, Haggler etc etc
Ward's better than all the above fighters because he's never travelled and tested himself ? Really?
Ward's protected by boxing politics but the same politics protecting him will tarnish his legacy...his legacy will come up short to it's potential because he doesn't challenge himself outside of his comfort zone

If the boxing world thought like me then Ward wouldn't be a hometown fighter.
Wilder wouldn't have been handed the World title & then given a free pass to develop his skills.

You reference the Super6. The tournament format was with fighters from different parts of the world. Each fighter(barring Ward) fought in a different country than they were born during the comp.
This was to even the playing field, so no fighter was given home advantage.

Somehow Ward slipped in under the radar...Could it be he refused to fight if no hometown advantage?
We've seen him show this diva behaviour so it's entirely possible.

Ward didn't officially clean out his division. How could he?

Froch cleaned out the division, Ward has a win over Froch. That's reality.

If Ward had left the Super6 & fought Bute then he would be credited with cleaning out his division.
If you honestly believe Ward cleaned out his division, then why did he sit there for 3 years?

Ward is a 175lb fighter, Why is he waiting for a fighter to come up in weight?

He cleaned out his division(according to you) the next logical step would be to move up a class & face Kovalev/Stevenson or to move down in weight and challenge himself, cement his legacy.

Ward forced Dawson down in weight rather than go up to meet him or meet at a catchweight 172lb. Dawson was clearly drained.

Who's Rodriguez?

GGG has big fights at 160lb. He can unify the belts at 160lb & then he will move up.
Remember 160 is the real middleweight class, it has real history

What's Ward waiting for at 168?
A tune up?

very biased you would make a good politician. Dawson called Ward out on HBO and said HE had no problem going down to 168 to make that fight - remember we are talking about fighting where there is a huge mental aspect to the game, you concede nothing in negotiations as long as it does not jeopardize the fight!

Who is Rodriguez, Rodriguez was undefeated, and a top rated challenger - who is Macklin / Murray / Rosado / Stevens / Ishida / Geale / Proksa / ??

as far as Ward moving up - you may say through your blind fandom that Ward is ducking GGG that is why he is moving up

Miranda / Froch(whom you say cleaned out the division) but his team constantl;y praises Ward) / Kesseler / Bika / Abraham / Dawson / Rodriguez / is a way better resume than a fighter content with scrap's - like I said Mr. Boxing guy - GGG's team is doing him a disservice, because he will not be ready for Ward, he has not faced the competition to get him ready. What about when Ward smothers his power or avoids it all together then Dog Walks him - can GGG fight going backwards (please do not answer because even his trainer doesn't know, hell GGG doesn't know, because why - he has never been forced to do so - I love how you twist things to sound smart - like a politician, but your running mate GGG will not get the vote until he steps it up! After maybe Quillin, Danny Jacobs, or Cotto then I will be ready to anoint him, yes he is a good fighter, but really how good is he ? I think Chavez Jr can get with him - after all GGG fights like his daddy, and Chavez is a real Mexican, so he knows the truth behind that style!

[bojangles1987]

From what I remember, Ward was responding to something Golovkin's people said, and said he wouldn't mention Golovkin if they stopped. They stopped, so he did as well.

Now Ward's going to call Golovkin out again, and everyone besides Sanchez is going to scramble for excuses that make Golovkin look bad without him ever saying a word.
