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

[Robbie Barrett]

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




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).

Cotto is fighting Alvarez, Golovkin is guaranteed a shot at the winner. No reason not to fight Ward.

triple bum will fight chavez at 168 .. but not ward . .how is the fight taking place at 168 an "advantage" for ward?? when triple bum stated he can make the weight.. will 168 be an advantage for chavez if he fights triple bum ?

I just don't understand why Ward doesn't propose something like 166, the treatment he's giving Golovkin like he's hotsht after beating Paul smith and being Absent since 2013 is laughable. He thinks he's in the same position he was in in 2012 when he forced Dawson down to him, true diva, Even Mayweather gave Marquez a catchweight(although it was rescinded, Ward could do the same I couldn't give less of a sht aslong as it gets these guys in the ring).

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

Golovkin feels he is the "A side" against Ward. Whereas with Chavez and Froch, he can't really make demands.

Golovkin fan here and I don't support his catchweight anyway.

hes not guaranteed nothing.. especially if cotto wins.

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?

Who in the world is talking about a fight from 14 years ago? Mayweather was naturally moving up the weight classes as he grew. I was referring to when Floyd finally settled at his current weight class for the past decade 147 and deciding to "move up" against the #1 guy in Canelo at a catchweight.

No, I never said Geale was the highest payday. I said he was the highest payday AND lowest risk. Hence the slash. Geale was GGG's Willie Monroe. Are you telling me Willie was GGG's biggest payday? Bull****.

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.

And as I've told you, GGG can beat David and Andy... I will give him more credit for beating Ward at 168. End of story. He can collect belts from whoever he wants, neither of them are the fighter Ward is. Not only would GGG be moving up, he'd beat an undefeated fighter a divsion above him, possibly as the underdog.

Tell me again why I should be impressed beating the **** out of guys he'd be favored 6-1 against? Oh that's right, because he gets some belt for his efforts. Cut the ****, it's move up or bust and I've said that for a year now. GGG is too good and powerful for anyone at MW and below, to be challanged he needs to move and that's what I want to see. Not picking off belts to help his marketing campaign.

He was already "guaranteed" to fight for the WBC title after Cotto fought Geale and we see how that turned out. Hopefully they get it in writing this time.

He probably moved up because he wasn't tiny for the weightclass. Use your head for a minute.

golovkins whole resume is nothing but paul smith types .. if anybody else had ggg resume you would call him a bum.. so why is he a boogeyman ?
