Comments Thread For: Ward-Smith at 172; When Will Ward Move To 175?

[ChestRockwell]

Anyone who stands up for Ward and what a fraud he's become show how misguided and deluded they are. The man is a babied little primadonna and gets unwarranted special treatment.

[skinnystev]

there is no way that soggy that fat lardass will ever see 168 again he should fight chavez jr for the catchweight world championship at 172 he aint gonna go to 175 cause he is just so crap sacred of that racist kovalev

[Barcham]

Ward should only move up when he's reaching 185+ on fight night like Kovalev at 187 vs Hopkins. He's waiting for his body to fill out.

Dude is a warrior fights everyone (Has had TWO fights since 2012), meanwhile we have Kovalev/GGG (Has had TEN fights in the period Ward had two) clearly ducking opponents and Ward is the guy that gets the flack smh.

Want to tell us again who the warrior who fights everyone is?

[Barcham]

I'm both a GGG fan,and a kovalev fan. While I'd love to see a ggg-ward fight,I'd have to give ward the respect that he deserves if he aims for a big name at 175,like kovalev,Stevenson,Artur,or pascal. What I wouldn't want to see is ward go into the catchwieght club,along with canelo,cotto,and Chavez Jr.

Too late. He's already joined the club.

Ward vs ggg, adonis, kovolev. Are the only fights I want to see ward in..

I think he beats GGG, but gets blasted by both adonis and kovolev

He fights GGG, gets destroyed and never fights either Adonis or Kovalev. Tries to convince Hopkins to fight him at 172 but is refused. Finally ends up fighting Bute.

... And now you got the actual answer for Ward calling out Golovkin repeatedly.

I'd wait until the day-of weights before breathing your sigh of relief. Ward walks into the ring below 176/177 and he's back to waiting for Golovkin to grow a set.

Like what's been seen in prior weigh-in, Ward and Golovkin actually end up walking into the ring within 5 pounds of each other. Why the Golovkin Army ignores that simple reality is beyond me.

This is a title fight eliminator. Whoever wins this, will fight Fonfara for the 172lb catchweight title of the world. This catchweight $#it really pisses me off.

Facepalm, did you criticize Ward the last four years for having nothing left to do at 168? No? Of course not because it's ok for Ward to stay in the division he chooses but not for others. Yet you use the word hypocrite while showcasing the sheer definition of it. F'ing casual fans kill me. Wait for Golovkin to have nothing left to fight for at 160 before you start your pointless bantering. At that point a move would be inexcusable til then he has a reason to remain at 160.

Ward wasn't the one with his camp, running around and yapping about how he'd whoop every fighter 154-168. That was Team Golovkin.

If they'd kept their mouth's shut, focusing on wanting to establish Golovkin as the best middleweight fighter ever, there'd be nothing for anyone to say about Golovkin.

How about you provide some weigh stats instead of talking out your ass? Oh wait... here it comes...one time GGG came in at 173 against Rubio!!!!!

Let's see the stats for the last two years of fights. That should be easy to figure out because it's only 8 fights to look up for Golovkin and let's see here... only ONE Ward fight to check. Sounds like a fair comparison.

When will GGG BUM move to 168?

hyypocrites, plain and simple. :ANYWORD:

Let GGG clean out 160 like Ward did to 168 then you call talk about him moving up. SMH

[Scipio2009]

How much does Ward rehydrates to though? He looks like he is easily over 180 lbs.

he walked in 176 for the Dawson fight, and he easily made weight for the Rodriguez fight (with no mind paid to Ward making the day-of weight limit of 180 either, so I doubt that he was near 180 for that fight).

The Rodriguez fight was a nearly a year and a half ago, so he may have filled out some since then, but I doubt that it was all that much. Haven't been able to find the "tale of the tape" for Golovkin-Murray, but I doubt that Golovkin was all that far from 180 either.
