Golovkin facing Ward ****s on Floyd's whole resume

[big_james10]

When casuals just learn a few boxers names...you get threads like this

You are absolutely correct!

[big_james10]

Who on Floyd's resume was a prime p4p quality champion? He has nobody on it as good as Ward. It's full of past-prime and green future titlists. I'd rather they fight at 160 or 168, but two champs fighting at a catch-weight is reasonable.

You did a great job of covering all the bases of dispute with your lame ass post. If someone were to cater to you childish rant with some names, you would shoot everyone one of them down based on the fact that they did not meet all of the criteria that you mentioned -- prime, p4p, quality champion (whatever that means), not past prime or green. In other words, you would shoot down every Mayweather victory simply because the opponent he was fighting was not Floyd Mayweather.

Floyd nuthugger detected. Beating Ward now would absolutely be a better win than post KTFO Pacquiao. Context definitely matters. Ward is still a monster and honestly I fully expect him to be the favorite.

Why do we always get comments like this after Mayweather beats someone people say he was scared to fight and would lose to? Wasn't it a 50/50 fight on this site the day of the fight? Mayweather makes him look like an amatuer and now the win doesn't count. Lol

facing him means nothing. he would have to actually beat him for it to count towards something. and not at 164 either.

Beat me to it.

But GGG isn't facing Ward.

You are comparing one victory over one world champion in what would be the suggested winner's only significant fight in his entire career to the career of a man who has spend 19 years building his reputation as the best in the world and who has defeated 12 world champions in five weight divisions.

You should ban yourself for making such an asinine comment!!!!!!!!!

If he spots Ward the weight and beats him at 168 it would top anything Mayweather ever did. If he beats Ward at a catchweight of 164 it would be similar to Mayweather beating the excellent Canelo but only after draining Canelo 2 pounds at a catchweight of 152.

[just the facts]

This.

Ward is a gold medalist, undefeated champ, and has faced fantastic opponents. If Golovkin fights Ward and wins... I think Golovkin deserves much respect from the doubters/haters

IF ggg fights Ward at 168,and IF he wins, you're right. But those are a couple of major league IFs. Team ggg hasn't been real receptive to A list opposition and Ward hasn't been beaten in years

So floyds wins over marquez, canelo and pacquiao dont count either gotcha.

These are different weight classes so its kind of dumb to compare, floyd fought all the best guys at his weight classes and beat them. GGG hasnt
