Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Golovkin Has Had 8 or 9 Different Excuses

[HI-TECH Boxing]

it must be the ward that's held the number 2 and 3 pound for pound spot. and the one that beat the crap out of froch and Dawson. it must also be the one that was unlikely to win the super six tournament but beat every single fighter hands down.

who is triple G is that the guy who is active and still fighting bums his best fight was against Murrey a feather fisted fighter. is it the guy who is calling out 154lb fighters like canelo but wont fight 154lb fighter Lara cause fighters like Martin Murrey bring more money lol. Or is it the same 3G that was calling out Ward but knew ward had promotional issues and as soon as ward got done with the promo issues they changed there tone to he dont make money will fight them later. thats the same GGG right
????

You have proof that he was calling out Ward? Probably not.

If Ward wants the fight, all he has to do is accept being the B side, take B side money and not fight in Oakland. If he expects to be paid upwards of 2 million, have the fight in Oakland with his ref and his judges, then he will have to work his way back into the picture in a VERY BIG WAY. And fighting Smith on BET is not the way that is going to happen.

What are ya worried about? Isn't GGG this "killer" that just walks through "everybody"?

What's wrong with Oakland? That's in Cali isn't it? Isn't GGG the "draw"? So why would it matter where the fight happens? If he's the "draw" hell fill arenas ANYWHERE he goes.

My guess would be whichever "bum" has the balls to face him....hey, wasn't Curtis Stevens supposed to test (some said expose) GGG?...to quote an article:

"Even though Golovkin had knocked out 14 of his opponents coming in against Stevens, there were still questions as to how he would fare against a legitimate middleweight contender.

While most of the top flight contenders had been reluctant to step forward to provide any answers, Stevens ran to the front of the line. Fighting out of Brownsville, Brooklyn, Stevens had been one of the most decorated amateurs in New York City. Like Golovkin, Stevens was noted for his heavy hands and knockout power."

Aaaaaand what happened there?.....after that fight, I guess Stevens went from being legit to just being another "bum"....go figure...

LMAO stevens was never "legit". He's a one handed fighter. All he has is his right hand. That's it. Primera was his daddy before, dirrell beat him easy, N'Dam beat him easy. Tureano Johnson was whoopin him until he got caught with that right hand.

Well damn...

I'm not sure at what point in boxing history it became cool to call out smaller fighters and accuse them of ducking you, but I'm not buying it.

Let's break this down. Ward cleans out super middle, great job, then what does he do? He fights twice in 3 years, moves up to a catchweight of 172, and calls out guys from a LOWER weight class? Then he gets salty because they have better things to do with their careers?

Ward is a tremendous boxer, but he is delusional. He is irrelevant to what is going on at 160. His best bet for relevance is fighting Kovalev. So, how many excuses do you have not to fight Kovalev, Ward?

Got to hype up the Paul Smith fight somehow.

The Cotto fans love this! Their hoping Ward will protect Cotto from GGG

I completely agree with Ward on the competition level bcuz i preach that ish like its the gospel. With GGG comp level, i dont believe he can go to 168 and make easy work of the top guys there..bcuz of their comp level.

However, GGG does deserve a shot at Cotto and i fully support that. I dont see how Cotto over Geale is getn rated higher than GGG over Geale..the hype machine(media)

[mike1010011]

Im sorry,but all I see here is a guy who's career has gone stagnant,hasn't fought since 2013,has already cleaned out his division,and refuses to move up,while at the same time calling out a smaller fighter,while he himself is fighting a bum on bet. Say what you want,but this is nothing more and nothing less that ward using GGGs name,in order to hype up his next fight. If he calls out GGG after he wins,then I'll take him seriously, but until then,he's just going to be blowing smoke,and continuing with his 2-3 Oakland tuneups.

First off, Paul Smith is on a lower level than guys like Monroe or Rubio. Smith is a domestic level fighter who guys like Monroe, Rubio, and Stevens would beat.

Second off, Ward hasn't beat a top level guy in 3 and half years. Live in the now.

Third, understand what market value means. It's the reason Andre Ward has to fight on a BET time buy - losing his promoter money, where Golovkin can fight a guy like Willie Monroe and do better gate and tv numbers than Andre Ward did vs Chad Dawson in his hometown. Peace!

When has Golovkin ever beaten fighters on that level? Live in the ever. Monroe and Rubio were terrible fights and did nothing for for a so called "pound for pound" fighter.

[bigjavi973]

Interesting you brought up all the fights Golovkin took when he had no tv money behind him. As for Rosado, he took Rosado after SMW's Edwin Rodriguez turned down $500k offer and Thomas Oostuizen priced himself out. You're babbling about Golovkin fighting JMW's while he's waiting on a decision from Carl Froch to fight at 168 in the UK. Piss off.

Wow some SMWs... Where they gonna go down to 160?

OMG.... GGG is gonna fight Froch

and its not called "babbling", its called FACTS.

He has a list of Super Welterweights he fought when they had NO fights at 160 or like 1 or 2 fights at 160. Ishida, Rosado, Ouma, Tapia & Nunez.

Nunez was for the interim title, he had ZERO/0 fights at Middleweight. Tapia was for the vacant WBA title, he had 2 fights at 160. Defended his WBA title vs Ouma, who only had ONE fight at 160. Rosado had zero fights at 160 & Ishida had one fight at 160 weighing in at 157

FACTS
