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

[MDPopescu]

GGG doesn't have to make any "excuses" regarding Ward - who just "destroyed" Paul Smith, doe...

[NEETzsche]

So he won't fight Ward because Ward is a better fighter than Froch and Chavez. That's ducking pal.

nah, you can't duck someone who isn't in your division. to move up in weight when you don't physical have to is to go above and beyond what is required of you. plus i firmly believe that he will fight ward, and at 168 lbs, but only once his options at middleweight are exhausted

1. froch and chavez jr bring (or brought) a lot of money to the table
2. golovkin could probably beat froch and chavez jr regardless of weight, so he wouldn't need to gain a full 8 lbs of muscle and abandon middleweight. beating froch or chavez jr at 168 lbs would have actually improved his position in the middleweight division, because they would increase his profile and thus make him harder to avoid, plus he wouldn't have had to alter his body drastically. it's obvious that ward is a serious threat to golovkin and for that reason golovkin won't put himself at a significant weight disadvantage; he will either wait until he's finished business at middleweight and then perhaps acclimatise to super middle permanently, or, until then, demand that ward also compromises on his weight to cancel out his advantage

No matter how you spin it....
..... Golovkin will fight Froch/Chavez at 168, but not Ward

That is completely and utterly indefensible !

Ward makes $2 million whoever he fights, more than Golovkin.

... Then Ward should fight "whoever". Because GGG will not give him a $2 million fight right now... I can guarantee that...

[vorgaphe]

Who cares ?

You used a weight arguement of 4lbs for Ward, and then tried to insinuate that it was different with Cotto.

Cotto weighed 153, 7lbs less than Hypekin.

So, your weight excuse is bullshht.

You're a moron if you don't understand why Cotto holding the middleweight belt matters. Simple as that.

[Teetotaler]

They said no because he's not PPV.

no they didn't. Show me a link where they did. Because there is an article on here where his promoter even said he was interested in degale. haha and lara? yup GGG must of saw his fight with rodriguez and figured there is no way I want to fight a guy who is completely content with jabbing and 1'2 his opponent to a decision haha that's laughable. but anything to hate on golovking I guess

[Cinci Champ]

lol 431 comments already and team ggg try to say not enough demand give me a break and just make the fight at 168 or admit hes to good one or the other

[Redd Foxx]

I don't care. Ward would kick GGG's ass. I know it. Ward knows it. His fans know it. GGG knows it. His management know it. And his fans know it. That's why Team GGG don't want it. And that's why his fans don't want. Perfectly satisfied to ride the fake hype train. #pathetic

Yea, suddenly the GolovKids say he's all about big money fights, even though he's NEVER had one. So, from what we've seen, Golovkin will fight any stumblebum out there, but if the guy is a challenge (be it the bigger Ward or smaller Lara) he must be promised a pot of gold. Smells like chicken **** to me.

No, man... Ward doesn't have another money fight right now. Ward just can't make another $2mln by fighting a new Paul Smith... I remember when Ward offered GGG $500k, and now he wants to make at least $2 millions on GGG's back... No way GGG is such a ****** guy!... Right now, Ward just can't push GGG into anything because GGG doesn't give a shit about Ward as we speak.

Team GGG just mocked Ward up with that 164 demand...

The word is spelt..... d.u.c.k.e.d.

Here.....

Golovkin's division is 154-168, that's all we've heard from his team and fans for the last couple of years.
