Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: We'd Fight Ward at 164, 50-50 Split

[bigjavi973]

so all these andre wards fans and GGG haters on the attack. criticize GGG but fail to mention how ward made dawson come down and face him. They tell GGG to move up to face ward at his weight wonder why they don't ask ward to move up and face kovalev at his weight.

Talk about double standards. Theres no point for ward to be at 168 anymore. For GGG no one wants to fight him at 160.

Why do people keep saying this obviously incorrect statement?

First off, Ward is the A side not GGG. And I'll tell you why: a victory over Ward would do more for GGG's career then a Ward victory over GGG. That's just fact. GGG's fought bums and we know that. And he likes to call out smaller fighters. And now his team has gone and stuck their foot in their mouth talking smack about Ward and then asking for a catchweight.

Furthermore, if anyone needs a tune up fight it would be GGG. How are you going to go from fighting no ones with limited power to fighting a bigger, more physical fighter with a jab that would disfigure your face?

I've definitely lost respect for GGG after this one. Dude, your not Floyd Mayweather so stop acting like it.

Ward is no A side. What the heck are you talking about? Where do you get that? It looks like he has zero pull. He NEEDS GGG or Kovalev and he is scared of both.

Everyone you mentioned besides froch who don't know if want to retire or not have fights lined up in fall so Triple G suppose to take his 34th straight stay busy fight come on now enough is enough with him and team bs

... when it comes to GGG everybody has 'fights lined up next'... Ward included -- I mean he plans another tune up at a TBA weight, doe ...

i think at 33 years of age golovkin has settled into his division and believes that moving up or down would put him at a disadvantage, which is something he'd be willing to risk for big bucks against a froch or chavez jr, but not against someone who doesn't bring a lot of money to the table (ward, degale, ramirez). probably the only way we'll see golovkin-ward is if ward becomes a ppv fighter (unlikely) or golovkin naturalises into super middleweight after clearing out middleweight or fighting someone else at 168 first. i think k2 should just keep their mouths shut w/r/t andre ward from now on

I think it would be for the best.

There's nothing wrong with him wanting to do that. What I don't want to hear is "We'll fight anyone from 154-168" and the "avoided" tag from anyone.

No. Sick of seeing Divas like this and Ward is the B side if anything, dictate the terms. You diva fluffers would like to see a small man come up in weight to fight your glass heroes but your BOY won't go up and play with the big boys. Facts are facts. And the weight drained Dawson so don't play the catch weight card. You guys are funny.

I and other posters are not suggesting Ward and Kov not fight nor are we suggesting Kov come down to 168 to fight Ward. We are just asking Ward/GGG @ 168 take place before ward/kov @ 175.

is there anything wrong with that?

[The Big Dunn]

But Kovalev would have to come down doe.......

Where is anyone suggesting that?

See guys like you are so transparent. You rail against A side power, then invoke it as soon as your guy is in the power position.

You hate CW's and fighters coming down in weight, yet cosign it when its your favorite fighter.

You kill fighters that in your words "do not chase glory" by going up in weight, but do not ask your guy to do it.

An unbeaten record means "you haven't fought everyone you should" until its a guy you like, then it means everything.

[bigjavi973]

Ahh so that's how we skirt around these type of issues. We pretend it was a "joke."

pathetic really saying that shit smh
