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

[LostOne]

Why doesn't Ward step up and fight Kovalev??? He cleaned out his whole division and now he wants to have a guy come up in weight to fight him??? I would favor Ward over GGG but I would favor Kovalev over Ward. That would be way more impressive not to mention Kovalev cleaned Hopkins clock and GGG is still looking for a defining victory.

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?

Didn't Chad himself say he would go down with no problem in that post fight interview??

Why don't Golovkin's team just admit they don't want the fight right now?

actually Ward's side refused to fight. Read the text again

InB4 Freedom says "But Ward offered to fight Floyd at 160 doe"

Edit: Crap he beat me to it!!!

Nope, he was too quick.

GGG should accept the fight at 168 and just come in as he normally does. Ward is bigger but he's not a monstrous puncher.

GGG is worried about the skills not punching power.

ggg the big ***** calling everyone out until they sit down and want to fight then he backs out making excuses man up ggg finally fight someone with a pulse so the hype can end

Why would losing to arguably one of the best fighters in the last five years, end his hype? FOH groupie.

Golovkin would be a FOOL to give in to all Ward's demands.

Ward needs to learn to COMPROMISE and stop being so selfish.

I'm sure if both want the fight that bad a compromise will be made. Thus far GGG is willing to move up 4lbs to meet Ward. I'm sure he'll be willing to move up another lb or 2 if Ward is willing to make a compromise as well.

Ban catchweights


168 or nothing.

Ward : " no, i want to fight Dawson to fight at my weight class"

[sirron000]

A source with knowledge of the situation has advised BoxingScene.com that a potential fight between Andre Ward and Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin is being held up by the weight.

From what BoxingScene was told, Golovkin's side is insisting on a catch-weight of 164-pounds.

There have been conversations between Roc Nation Sports (who have Ward) and K2 Promotions (who have Golovkin), but those discussions have gone absolutely nowhere because the two sides are unable to get past the issue of weight.

GGG is clutching his pearls. Hold your skirt down your slip is showing.

when and against who is triple g fighting next, is it going to be another weak opponent, another african in monaco? its time to deliver a big fight, or move up to 168.
