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

[New England]

I wonder how many of the GGG stans giving him a pass over this were shitting on Rigo for asking for one against Loma.

one of the things i value on bscene is consistency.

i'm ripping f scott fitzgerald a bit here, but i value my own integrity more than i do the sanctity of a fighter's bscene reputation. i'm the most honest person i know.

Ward said he'd fight Floyd Mayweather at 160. Why won't he go to 164 for GGG?

The self-proclaimed "Son of God" made poor Chad Dawson drain down from 175 to 168.

Ward said he'd fight "anyone at 175" - why not go for Kovalev next?

GGG said he'd fight Froch and Chavez Jr at 168...why a catchweight for Ward...Answer that question

But Cotto isn't doing that... he's doing what GGG is doing. Highest payday/lowest risk.

Bullshit man. Was Geale the highest payday for Cotto? Of course not. Cotto isn't fighting a middleweight, he's fighting Canelo.

If you want to justify GGG doing it because he doesn't have a right color of belt, that's your prerogative. They've doing the same **** but at least one guy earned his way up 3 divisions earlier, so cashing out now is okay or at least understandable. GGG wants the superstar treatment doing nothing and you're okay with it because... you think he could be good? So do I, but it needs to be earned.

Golovkin is going after ALL the belts in his own division. How is that hard for you to understand? Cotto owns the lineal crown and the WBC belt that GGG is mandatory to. Golovkin is going after the other title holders who aren't huge paydays as well like Andy Lee and Lemieux. Unification fights priority. Cotto is just keeping the belt hostage (like I said though, the fault is also on the WBC for allowing him to bypass his mandatory).

not i

i don't like ward but i've sided with ward and loma on this issue

smaller fighter "daring" a bigger one to come down in weight is universally ridiculous, you're beating a sick opponent

ward did it to pascal so he knows edit: meant dawson of course

You're not one of those guys. You've been consistent.

Plus you have that bad ass shit kicking 3rd Gen in your sig, so you're good in book regardless.

[aboutfkntime]

hahah are people really that ******? The only reason GGG's team say 164 because THEY call the shots. NOT ward. With froch and Jr it was the opposite.

You are correct.

Golovkin ducked Ward, because he could.

Congratulations !

No...you're just not that important. I literally don't even know what you said or I would have quoted it. You're just desperate for my attention. Cute.

Important enough for you to quote and fill your time as you're getting your nails done.

He moved up because it was HUGE money. Literally the biggest fight in boxing that could be made other than Pacquiao. He didn't move up just to fight the #1 guy for the hell of it. And there was a catchweight don't forget.

He moved up to fight Castillo in a very dagerous fight for his style because there was huge money? Or because he was a great fighter avd that's what great fighters do?

[aboutfkntime]

Chavez and froch are bigger guys then ward is but triple B was willing to move up to face them he can weighin at 163 for 168 fight not hurting his body to make 160 in future as he prob would of done when he was close to finalizing fight for Chavez after he became mando to WBC belt B1tchy Boy Bumlovkin and his team getting they hoe card pulled here

That is the real point here.....

Froch and Chavez are much bigger than Ward, and yet Golovkin had no problem fighting them at 168.

I get it..... Andre Ward is a bad boy, nuff said !

[Beater_of_ass]

Where in my post has the Sergio fight been mentioned. I'm ****ting on Cotto for not fighting GGG at all. Which happens to be far worse than a 4lbs catchweight.

The "guy" in Cotto's division is actually Cotto's 4th time moving up. GGG can't even move up one division to face "the guy" in any division. **** I'm waiting for GGG to face "A" guy at all.

[ИATAS]

I wonder how many of the GGG stans giving him a pass over this were shitting on Rigo for asking for one against Loma.

Probably not many since the 164 catchweight has been known about for several weeks, before the Rigo-Loma talks even began. I remember in that thread people who were ****ting on Golovkin about the 164 catchweight defending the Rigo CW request.
