WHy is Golovkins team calling out Mayweather instead of Lara, Ward, Degale??

[-Kev-]

if you know of an "actual challenge" they turned down, please share that info with the rest of the class. Otherwise you are just running your mouth.....

His age and resume explain my post. There is absolutely nothing I have to refute.

But why fight this guy he's fighting next who hardly anybody has heard of, Atleast Ward fight would gain all the boxing hardcores attention as two undefeated pound for pound fighters in their primes going at it. Lara is a tough dangerous fight but if Golovkin were able to blast him out his stock would rise unbelievably, these are the guys he should be fighting while waiting for Cotto to eventually grow the balls to face him

Maybe because Ward has already stated that he needs a couple of tune up fights before considering a GGG fight? Considering how long it is taking Ward to get ONE tune up fight done, he should be ready for a GGG fight at around the end of 2016, beginning of 2017.

And maybe because Lara cannot fight on HBO as he is signed to Haymon?

But don't let the facts get in your way.

By the way... Cotto will never grow balls big enough to fight Golovkin.

Because he's a coward. That's why he's calling out the undefeated, linear JMW champ, who he's offered to fight at JMW. Instead of the guy best known for losing to the guy shut out by said undefeated, linear JMW champ. He's also ******. That's why he's going for the fight that will give him 10 times the money, never mind credit should he win.

***8220;A representative from Andre Ward***8217;s camp sent me a note this morning that Andre wants to fight him. He***8217;ll fight him anywhere, anyplace, and anytime. A fight against Andre Ward in Southern California would be very marketable. Ward***8217;s lawyer sent me an e-mail today saying he***8217;ll fight him wherever,***8221; Lampley said"

No need to make up 'tune-up' stories lol, Wards ready cause he knows stylistically this is his kind of fight any day of the week.

Here are the answers:

1) Lara has Spike TV problems

2) Ward has BET problems

3) DeGeale has Dirrell problems

Why hasn't Andre Ward sent Kovalev an email for anyplace, anywhere, anytime (BTW anyplace & anywhere are a bit redundant.)

Going up to light heavyweight for the right fight -- not to campaign up there, but for the right fight -- is an option. - Andre Ward 12/21/2011

Wards said he would take the Golovkin fight at any measure, literally exact words "anywhere, anyplace, anytime". Ward knows nobody wants to fight(lose) to him so he needs a big name in the sport like Canelo(even though he's already p4p no.2 nobody knows him because nobody wants to fight him)

Didn't Ward shatter the former lineal undisputed lightheavyweight champ chad dawsons chin? Was he 'the' lightheavywight champ at the time? Has Ward ever ducked anyone? Has he already beaten Froch, Kessler, Dawson, Abraham, Green etc in his injury plagued(and ducking plagued) career? You trying to say Ward doesnt deserve the Golovkin fight? But Daniel Geale does?? They weigh the same on fight night and Ward is p4p no.2 yet still has to beg

War Ward

Nobody wants to fight him? What about Froch, Kessler, Bika, Abraham, Dawson?

He was offered a career pay day against Bute as well.

Are you playing dumb just to troll or are you serious? Weight draining a LHW to 168 isn't the same as actually fighting a LHW.

But since you bring it up, Andre Ward said he would goto 160 to fight Floyd Mayweather. By your own words he should do the same for Golovkin. Send him an email an let him know your idea.
