Comments Thread For: Andre Ward-Gennady Golovkin Roadblocked Over Weight

[Beater_of_ass]

Exactly.

And while Froch and Chavez were lucrative fights for big paydays, Andre "Hold and Headbutt" Ward can't draw flies.

So it's not worth it for GGG. High risk, LOW reward.

High risk of being cut and blinded by one of The Son of Goat's deliberate, illegal head butts and a shady California referee like Jack Reiss calling it a "TKO".

Beating Ward would make GGG the real deal in a lot of people's eyes. He'd earn respect... In boxing you earn the respect and the money comes, it's not the other way around.

Watch the hypocrisy go full blown up in here...same folks talking all that A-side nonsense, same mofo's making excuses for Cotto, same ones saying it's ok for Floyd to make Canelo come down. Well guess what in this equation Ward isn't the a-side he got offered the fight nearly a year ago at his full weight, he said no...this is what happens. Should've worked it out and taken the fight bruh. One guy has lineal glory in his sights the other is fighting Paul Smith.

Good post.....

They can move up for Froch and Chavez but not Ward

They can drain Ward to 164 but will not go down to 154 for anyone but Floyd

He can beat everybody from 154-168......but won't fight them


Let's cut the BS. Team Golovkin has a sweet deal with HBO where they can fight Willie Monroe level opponents and cash in. When you have that kind of deal, what's the incentive to even challenge yourself? You can maintain the excuse that everybody is ducking and keep the money flowing in.

[bigjavi973]

chavez froch and mayweather brought substantial purses which made the moves up or down worth the risk

not hard to understand really

so the guy that has difficulties getting fights cuz he's this supposed killer.....

is using high risk/low reward scenarios???

[carloscruz10009]

154-168 though

[The Problem Child]

The "best" 168 pounder VS the best 160 pounder.... they meet in the middle. What's wrong with that? WHY IS GENNADY EXPECTED to be the ONLY one making a sacrifice when he is the A-SIDE!??? He is being more than fair with the BIGGER fighter.

164 or you're a ****** coward Andrea. He has no intentions of making this fight happen. The guy is a poosy made ******.

[The Hammer]

154-168 though

"Anybody at 175" - Ward

[carloscruz10009]

Dude a clown. Whos still drinking the GGG Kool Aid

[bojangles1987]

Whats actually funny is the people who call Cotto a diva, condoning, praising, and defending GGG's divaish ways. Double standards...classic

More sad then funny IMO. Golovkin wanting 164 for Ward is a lot worse than Cotto wanting any catchweight for any middleweight.

[aboutfkntime]

REALLY? you really dont see why ?

ward is entitled to demand the fight be at 168 lbs, and golovkin is entitled to stay at middleweight until he feels like moving up. i don't see why either side needs to be criticised or how golovkin detractors view this as a 'victory'. when golovkin starts fighting at 162 lbs because he can't make mw but is too afraid to make the full leap to smw, then you can have your laughs

GOLOVKIN STATED THAT HE WILL FIGHT ANYONE FROM 154-168.

GOLOVKIN WAS WILLING TO FIGHT CHAVEZ/FROCH AT 68, BUT NOT WARD.

Golovkin blatantly ducked Andre Ward.

That is why !
