Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I'm Ready, I Want Canelo or Cotto Next

[HeroBando]

Both GGG and his promoter has said they don't want Ward. So that's not true.

Ward has said he'd fight GGG.

And Gggs coach said, Ward send an offer. Meanwhile Wards coach feels the fight needs to be built up more and Wards promoter would make it when it makes financial sense. And this is ROC Nation, not real stingy with their considerable money

Ward's next fight is at 172 so he is closer now to a Kovalev clash than to a GGG fight. As a big Ward fan I want him to fight Kovalev and Golovkin also but if just one of them than let that one be Kovalev because given that Kovalev is bigger than Ward it would be more of a statement that Andre Ward is back and claim his #1 place on P4P lists. But as I said I would also love to see him against Golovkin. I would also like to see him against Andre Dirrell, Beterbiev and Stevenson, but those fights probably won't happen because of the Haymon vs Jay-Z beef.

okay....here we go again!!...every time this dude folds a fighter he is SUPPOSED to fold...he calls out the same names only to fighter another dude he is supposed to fold...as long as he continues to name drop, fans will give him a pass for fighting Rod Salkas....smh

Nelo and Cotto about to make big money fighting each other....GGG aint getting either dude so pack up and move north....SOG is back in the mix!!...a win over SOG does more for GGG's resume and reputation than a win over Nelo and Cotto imo

Why is there no pressure for Ward to fight Koalalev?

Cause the focus is Stevenson-Kovalev.

Cause the focus is Stevenson-Kovalev.

Problem is there's always somebody who's *****ing out from that fight. First Stevenson did because the Haymon money and now Kovalev does it because HBO doesn't allow them the fight because they are scared that Haymon would win the pursue and then there would be a chance that their star is build would be slaughtered on another network by the main rival's fighter.

Its about history. If he moves out of the 160-division now, he will never be recognized as the true Middleweight Champion historically, despite having campaigned there since 2010 with 15 title defenses. So, he either needd to fight Cotto or collect his WBC belt by forcing the strippage (if he can't fight the lineal guy because he refuses and forfeited his WBC Belt, then that's fine, he will be the Ring Magazine and Unified Champ, which is just as good).

Lets stop sensationalizing things about him moving up.

Bro, with all the Danny love you got going on I don't think you can talk too much trash. The guy had a great resume up to his win against Mattysse but then he proceeded to lose to Herrera, fight Rod Salka (no need for me to explain) and then lose to Peterson. He's not on some epic run himself.

A win for GGG against Ward would definitely be good for his legacy, but it certainly doesn't bring him the biggest money, nor does it allow him to unify at MW. The fight can marinate, especially because Ward is in tune-up mode right now.

Reading comprehension:

That'll be his excuse when he fights Brandon Adams next. "Canelo and Cotto wouldn't fight me."

It's funny how he says he doesn't want Canelo in the future, he wants him now. But when faced with the Ward question, he cops out just like Canelo did, "in the future".

You forgot to mention team Ward statement: Andre needs 2-3 tune-ups after the long layoff (starting with this Paul "The Demolition Man" Smith at 172)... And what 2-3 tune-ups sound to you? A year and a half, maybe?
