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

[Barcham]

why not move up and fight for the 168 title

Because Golovkin has stated very clearly, and only idiots cannot get it into their heads, that his primary interest is in unifying all the titles at the middleweight division, the division he has fought at his entire professional career and the division for which he is naturally suited for. He also has stated that he has no interest in winning titles at any other weight class. Why is it that some ignorant people cannot respect what the best middleweight fighter to come along in years has set as his personal goal?

[-MEGA-]

And who cares about P4P standings? They vary depending on what web site you are reading and mean nothing at all when it comes to negotiating a fight. It brings nothing at all to the table and does not command a higher share of a purse. And seeing as how Ward is not on ANY reputable P4P list at this time, beating him would add nothing at all to a fighter's P4P standing.

Ffinally... P4P lists are completely useless and meaningless in the overall big picture.

Oh I don't know. It adds a little something called legitimacy. Beating cotto or Alvarez won't do that. (He should beat them). But actually fighting a guy who is at the top of the sport would do wonders for his career moving forward.

Cotto requests a catchweight for Geale 3 pounds under the limit of MW
GGG fans: Cotto is a diva! Scared!

GGG requests catchweight for Ward 4 pounds under the limit of SMW
GGG fans: Ward is scared to come down and fight! GGG just wants an even playing field!


Pathetic.

lol there are plenty of things that make Cotto a diva. That catchweight was just one of them.

Whatever weight this fight happens at, I'll be down with. But hopefully 3G just moves up to 68..

It doesn't matter why he said, the fact remains, he opened his mouth. He made Dawson come down because, "he said it". Now, Ward needs to put up or shut up.

I can recall Dawson talking shit after he won his fight saying ill go down to 168 & whoop ward

Pathetic.

Cotto was defending a MIDDLEWEIGHT LINEAL TITLE AGAINST A MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER. Golovkin would be moving up to an entirely new weight class to fight a man who many consider the best boxer in the game. Are you such a ****ing idiot that you are unable to see the difference in those two situations or are you just an ignorant prick? I think you are probably both.
