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

[Mate_Parlov]

Screw that russian commie overrated gulag beet borscht eating nothing Golovkin. GGG is vastly overrated with no fans at all. Go fight in Russia you anti democracy communist. This is America get it?

I've noticed it is America before you have said it. You know how? **** is floating all over it.

Yup, I agree..... but basically what you just said is that Ward is too good.

That is a blatant duck.

GGGs side made the offer, its up to Ward to accept or not.

It's funny people excuse Canelo who is about the same size/heavier than Golovkin from fighting Cotto, but mention that Cotto should either fight Golovkin or relinquish the belts and all hell breaks loose.

I know he won't fight GGG so I don't even think about it anymore.
Cotto-Canelo is a fine fight.

55 ****ing pages.

this fight is going to be a lot bigger than expected if they can build it right.

i hope roc nation knows how to work a little magic. i know HBO does.

Those 55 pages proved one thing.....

..... Golovkin fans are even less interested in Ward/GGG than Golovkin is.

You see a fight at '54 anywhere on this list?

Of course he is going to throw Mayweathers name out there. Same with Ward calling him out at '60.

You are going to make concessions to get your hat in discussions with the biggest money name in the entire sport.

haha boxrec? that's laughable. They also had Chavez jr vs GGG on there along with other mistakes. In the fight itself, the announcer announces it at JR MW. So idk what to believe boxrec a website that's not even reliable at times or the actual event? kind of a tricky one

Ward did not refuse to fight Golovkin at 164, and then fight Smith at 164.

Golovkin did call out Froch at 168, and then duck Ward at 168.

It is what it is homie.



If Hypekin ever fights a world-class opponent, let me know

These guys arent in the same division. One fighter has to come up or the other guy has to cone down..if not a CW may have to be agreed upon, GGG offered Ward a fight at 164lbs..Ward declined. It is what it is.

[SplitSecond]

He wasn't small for his weight class, he wasn't killing himself to make weight either. Floyd could have continued to fight at 130 abd he was in fact outsized against Castillo considerably. I don't need to use my head because unlike u, I was watching boxing at that time. N even moving up, he didn't have to fight a guy like Castillo in his first official fight at that weight. Castillo was large, imposing and a tough guy who had a reputation for beating up high quality boxers. Seriously stop making excuses. Moving up and fighting dangerous boxers are what great boxers do. Golovkin not doing so is weak and with his resume it's quite telling and pathetic

I implore you otherwise, it's no way to go through life.

Mayweather fought Augustus at 135, and many times before that fought above 130. And besides him being as tall and longer than this Castillo guy who'd been KO'd somethin like 5 times, within 2 years Mayweather moved up another 5 lb's.

[Beater_of_ass]

So your official stance here is Mayweather should retire because he's too good for 147 and Klitschko should retire because he's too good for heavyweight? lol what a joke you've become. Only guys who aren't dominating should continue boxing because dominating is not impressive, only struggling against "challenges" is.

Only a GGG fluffer would say "it's a sport" then want guys who are fighting guys 2-3 levels below them and think it's actually good for the sport. You're brain has been fried riding that GGG hype-train.

[Public_Enemy]

Small in the sense he makes weight easily and his trainer has said he doesn't gain much weight at all after his fights, which is why they'd be confident in dropping to 154 for Mayweather. Canelo has weighed in at 172 before, which is higher than a few of Golovkins fight night weights, so no. In height and reach he's bigger, but weight and ability to fit it into a frame? Nah.

Your picture also doesn't prove anything.

He may make weight easily but he cuts 10 lbs or more to make 160. There is nothing small about him. Trust me he'd be more comfortable at 168 than he would be at 154.

The picture is for perspective. It shows the size disparity isn't huge between the two. Ward is bigger obviously but the difference isn't even as great as Cotto/Golovkin. Just for the record, I do think Cotto should fight Golovkin if he's going to keep the belt.

If you can find some evidence of GGG fighting under or at the 154 pound weight limit, post it up.
