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

[Wizardsh]

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.

Yes I notice and they should call ward name every chance they get,ward has no say then or now to get ggg to go up in weight,ward wants the fight he needs to drop to 160

Disagree. That fight should be at 168 when Ward is through with his tuneups. Hopefully by then Ggg will have a name scalp and the fight can be financed

[MrRolltide91]

Lol now they talking

[HeroBando]

Lol now they talking

When Ward is free to fight and has money behind him? What better time? When do you think Ward finally makes an offer, after 2 tuneups?

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 !

Huge punchers exist, and they come from everywhere. A non-exhaustive selection from recent years:

Gonzalez - North America (Nicaragua)
Inoue - Asia (Japan)
Lemieux - North America (Canada)
Makabu - Africa (Congo)
Matthysse - South America (Argentina)
Stevenson - North America (Haiti)
Valero - South America (Venezuela)
Wilder - North America (USA)

so because there are a few from Europe it's an issue?

I don't know everyone on ur list but the the ones I do know r not comparable : Stevenson has power yes but his conditioning is shaky at best and his power wains significantly in later rounds . Matthysse had serviceable power , but got his a.. wore out by Danny Garcia who has even more . Wilder is a heavy weight with great power who's never fought anyone formittable until his last outing but still prolly can't match up to the EU (younger brother) Klitchko who chin and skills used to be shaky at best but now he's all of a sudden a cyborg too with unlimited supernatural punching power and stamina . I can't really speak on his chin cause no ones really been able to hit it the last 3 years . But for the record , I'm not just talking about outlandish punching power , I'm also speaking of punching power that doesn't wain in later rounds and stamina that doesn't seem to wain either .

Insecurity shines from those fans. In case GGG destroys Ward, they will have a new explanation: PEDs

kovalev and golovkin mostly fight out of the usa so they are subject to the same testing as anyone else. they also have american trainers, so if someone was feeding them peds, the culprit would be an american

I have no problem with that assessment . But if some sort of PED is being used its prolly some type prevalent from the Eastern Europe scene because no other fighters display this bundle of qualities I've mentioned except the Eastern European fighters (EXTREME power and stamina that never seems to wain) . Prolly introduced their American trainers to it . One things 4 sure , historically there's never been a trainer leave a fighter over PED use . U mentioned GGG and Kovalev's drug testing , but the common misconception at that its believed by many that testing is a standard in boxing , but nothing is further from the truth . Testing comes out the fighters purses and since most fighters don't get paid enough , they don't make it a condition in the contract . So the tragedy here is that dirty fighters know beforehand whether they can juice because testings not random but instead it's contractual .

there is a basic standard of testing applied by the state commissions. also, i don't think that peds actually work like that - you know, like, "take this pill and your power will increase 50%!" or whatever. the most common performance enhancing drugs in boxing are hgh, generally used by fighters moving up in weight; diuretics, generally used by fighters cutting weight; and epo, which enhances endurance and lets you train harder.
