Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Golovkin Can't Move Up Just One For Ward?

[The Big Dunn]

if it was false, ward would have rebuffed it by now. he would have called out golovkin after the paul smith fight

for the record, i think ward's stance towards the fight is totally reasonable - what bugs me are the "fans" who call golovkin a coward or ducker because moving up for a non-ppv fight is lower on his list of priorities than cleaning out the division he actually fights in

Why should GGG not be held to the same standard as others and called the same terms when his actions are similar to those that have been called this in the past?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

well, why not? when golovkin calls out a fighter in the division below him, he says he will go down and fight him in his own division

anyway, ward's "fans" seem to want this fight more than he does. ward himself seems in no rush to make the fight happen. he even declined it once

Golovkin seems willing to move to 168 for other people but Ward has to come down to 160?

When HBO calls GGG out on it, I'll stop believing it.

Yeah cos HBO are going to "call out" their current Golden Boy

i don't even know what you are referring to. i hold all boxers to the same standard, i.e. it's impossible to be accused of ducking a fighter who doesn't fight in your division, and if you want to call out someone in a different division to you, then you better be willing to gain or drop some weight to make the fight happen

golovkin already agreed to fight ward at 168 lbs once, and if the fight happens, that is where it'll take place. i was merely demonstrating that golovkin calling out mayweather and ward calling out golovkin are not equivalent scenarios. if golovkin or golovkin fans called mayweather a coward because he didn't fight golovkin at middleweight, they would be equally out of line

Look dude, no offense but when ****** posters that like GGG call any fighter that doesn't take/make a fight they want a "ducker" etc., etc., you really can't whine when people use those same standards and apply them to GGG when he does it.

It should bug you everytime a fan uses a ridiculous term, not just when its a guy you are a fan of.

Paktards/New GGG fans; your retort?

I'm a big fan of GGG but not of Manny.

Imo, he and Floyd were both on PEDs when they beat Hatton.

Now here's a question for you - what is it about Golovkin that makes Floyd fans hate him so much?

i'm more concerned with the actions of boxers than of their fans to be quite honest... i've supported mayweather on this site for two years short of a decade so i don't like being addressed as a p*ctard

GGG is CALLING Mayweather out, so why doesn't he go DOWN to 147lbs and FACE Mayweather?

Floyd fans don't hate GGG. They get annoyed with he double standards of he, his team and his fans.

While you see some ridiculous comments, most Floyd fans simply take the arguments/criticisms of Floyd from Manny/Wlad/Kov/GGG fans and apply them to GGG. Things like resume, moving up to prove himself, and fighting for pride/glory rather than money, in addition to other things.

When this is done, GGG fans have a fit. Why is that? Why do GGG fans get so upset when their own arguments are used against a fighter they like?

Because he said so? We all know the quotes from his manager from last year when asked about fighting Ward so save me the damage control.

Well it wouldn't be "equally out of line" because Mayweather has already moved up 5 weight classes to Golovkin's zero.
