Who the **** is a David lemieux fan? Wtf am I reading? He's known to a few hardcores and fans in Canada, which isn't a strong boxing nation. Wtf am I reading? Have u gone mental?

Are you kidding? Boxing is HUGE among the French speaking Canadians. They are like the Mexicans in that respect.

There arn't as many of them as there are Mexicans, but on average, they have more money to spend, and they spend it big time on supporting their boxers.

Ever consider that these stories could be spread to media outlets to gauge a fight's potential popularity? In this case, with 700 plus posts just on this thread, this fight could be approaching ppv level.

I've considered that, for sure.

This whole article is based on a quote from an unknown source. Is this the same unknown source who told Dan Raphael, a couple of days ago, that Ward wanted GGG this fall and was ready to accept all his terms, including the CW?

Wow 70 pages? Everyone talking about GGG it seems. HBO isnt interested in making this fight right now, they wanna buid it and make it next year so all this talk here is kinda pointless. GGG wants to unify the MW belts first and that means Lemieux and Canelo/Cotto winner. Ward should focus about selling a couple tickets, it seems like without GGG no one is interested in watching any of his fights, Ward fight without buildup doesnt mean **** right now, Ward is worth nothing.

Ward keeps contradicting himself over and over, at first he needs a couple tuneups, and now he tries to fool the public again, earlier he said he would move down to 160 to fight #1 p4p Mayweather, if we can shred 8 pounds for #1 why cant he shred 4 pounds to fight #3 p4p Golovkin?

Maybe GGG should stop name dropping, then?

[MrRolltide91]

lmao makes zero sense


GGG beating Ward at 168 would make him even a bigger star and make him #1 p4p

Who the fu***x63;***x6B; is Andre Ward? How will history judge him? Primadona who fought few decent B+ level euro fighters, adored by melanin over-saturated bunch of lunatics. And than he ruined his career all by himself. He will fight few more cab drivers until fool Jay Z comprehend situation and stop feeding hype beast. There is no money to be made with Mr. Ward. No fan support with the money in their pockets.
Will he ever fight GGG or anyone at 168? No because fatso cant make it anymore. He is LHW fighter afraid to deal with the situation. Will he ever fight anyone with a pulse at 175? No since big guys will out-muscle him. All his career is made around the fact that he cant fight at his natural weight. This is no amateur boxing and late Mr. Goosen is not around to babysit him anymore.

No it's not ))) This is not 700 posts from 700 different posters ))))

Team Golovkin know exactly who Andre Ward is, and so does everybody else.

That is why they are prepared to fight Froch/Chavez at 168, but not Ward.

Also, you talk about the fight being bigger in 2 years time...... after Cotto/Canelo fight..... what if the winner tells Golovkin that he is undeserving, because he has fought nobody, and that he needs to get a name on his resume so that the fight becomes bigger otherwise GGG simply doesn't offer them any value..... just like you are saying about Ward.

What if that same exact situation happens to Golovkin ?

Ward is a name opponent, Golovkin is not.

In theory, every fight could always be bigger if delayed, so it is always correct to delay the fight, right?

That just sounds like another excuse.

The winner of Cotto/Canelo cannot say this because GGG is a mandatory challenger to Cotto's belt.

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?

The thing people miss is moving up to 174, isn't really moving up for Ward. He is a Light Heavyweight. He boils down to 168.

He won his Olympic Medal at 178lb.
