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

[Wizardsh]

Ward punk a$$ wants ggg then he needs to drop down to 160 just like chad did, if not ward can got to hell he brings nothing to the table

[ukbox]

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!

Who's twisting stuff?
Who's bias?

You quote me and all the great fighters I mention yet don't address the lack of travel on Ward's part?
How many fights has Ward jeopordized refusing to travel?

He ducked a lot of money to rematch Kessler in Denmark & he's now saying he won't travel to fight Froch in the UK. You then attempt to hype Rodriguez an undefeated, top ranked challenger.
How could Rodriguez realistically be ranked above anyone in the super 6 & Bute?
Who had Rodriguez fought?

GGG is a world champion at his weight. He brings excitement, he is also undefeated.

Murray had close fights with Martinez & Sturm

Macklin also had pedigree in facing Martinez & Sturm, Macklin didn't perform as well as Murray

Ishida had fought Paul Williams & got a good result over Kirkland..Kirkland had a barnstormer with Angulo. Angulo then went on to face Lara & Canelo

Geale beat Sturm but lost to Barker. Barker had been 11 rounds with Martinez

Stevens had lost to Dirrell on points & was the North American champ at the time

Proksa was the European champ

Rosado has been a good enough opponent for Quillin & Lemieux. Rosado's best win was against Soto Karas. Soto Karas has been in with Berto, Maidana, Thurman & Alexander etc



How could Ward be ducking GGG by making the natural progression & moving up?
How could Ward be ducking a fighter that is a weight class below him, a fighter with unfinished business unifying the belts ?

How was he not ducking moving up to face Kovalev & Stevens, what else was he doing?
He didn't want Dirrell, he didn't want Bute.
Ward refuses to travel to Denmark or the UK for rematches...so what was he waiting for?

How can the above 4 fights at 168 not be classed as jeopordized or failed to materialise due to Wards refusal?
Are you suggesting that Ward is just going to sit at 168 & wait for a smaller fighter(GGG) to come up in weight?
How much longer should we allow him to wait?

As for GGG's development, many would argue he is coming along very well. He does big numbers because he brings excitement.
He has olympic pedigree & is wrecking everyone in front of him. He's not hugging, headbutting and trying to sneak a win

GGG is far more tested that Ward was pre Super6

You seem butthurt that fans appreciate GGG more than Ward

Boxing is the entertainment business
GGG brings showbusiness. Froch brings showbusiness.
You know when both these fighters show up they will give the fans their moneys worth.

The same cannot be said for Ward, at least not with a straight face.

If I'm wrong then why isn't Ward more popular with the fans?

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

Complete joke, I hope.

I don't know if you noticed, but it's GGG management mentioning Ward's name every chance they get. Ward has been inactive and they are still singing his name with a tune.

Im try not to run smear campaigns but all these Eastern European fighters coming over here with unprecedented strength and stamina (Kovalev , GGG) . Theres even another guy from that part of the world Whos calling out GGG and has comparable power , stamia and like a 90% KO record . It's clearly too many anomalies to be a coincidence . Boxing needs to have stringent regulation and have EVERY fighter go through random Olympic style drug testing before these Eastern European cheats kill someone else in the ring like Kovalev already has !

Well you did a horrible job at that.

[SugarRaRobinson]

Well you did a horrible job at that.

Its an ugly job but someone has to momentarily stop drinking the Kool aid and be rational otherwise we'll just keep cheating on these cheats like we did Trinidad till the next fighter is killed !

Yeah cuz saying you did a horrible job at something you said you weren't trying to do equates to me cheering them on. Perfect logic.
