Comments Thread For: Golovkin on Andre Ward: I Want Him, 50-50 on Weight

[Barcham]

A year ago GGG's trainer was giving us a lot of mouth, " Triple G will fight anyone at 154 - 167lbs". Now Ward's back in the game they've changed their tune to 50/50 on weight. It's doesn't sound like confidence to me, more like trying to weight drain Ward. Fight at 167 or STFU.

Living in your own version of a time warp, are you? That statement was made back in 2012 before GGG had his first fight in the US. And the weight was 168, not 167. You so obviously DKSAB. @SSHOLE.

I've been here on boxing scene for some years as you can see by my date in the profile. I have a great memory and copy and paste stuff that people say. Now that they have a favorite fighter, the crap that they spewed against others, applies directly to their favorite fighter, and this is just making them studder and stammer. Why doesnt the past **** you said apply now....I guess being a hypocrite on this medium is tough. APPLY THE SAME LOGIC YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN USING AGAINST OTHERS...

I beg to differ , I think GGG needs this fight more as he has not had a defining win whereas Ward has quite a few . Furthermore there r no viable options at the moment for GGG except Ward and just about everyone is sick and tired of watching him face cans . Patience is running very thin even with a lot of his fans .

No viable options?

How about Lemieux and the winner of Cotto/Canelo. Both would be bigger fights than Ward would be for GGG right now and earn him more money too.

Please dont compare GGG to aliving legend like Hopkins. They arent even in the same realm.

And what was up with the racial undertone shot at the end there. I have noticed you are starting to get like this and its a shame.

At 33/34 the man has fought no one so yes it something to take notice of

No undertones at all. Just a straight out statement. The majority of GGG HATERS are black Americans who believe that black, American fighters are the only quality fighters in the world. They pull the race card when talking about Floyd, about Haymon and about GGG. I am fed up with it and calling it out for what it is.

You want GGG to fight someone? FINE! Then allow the man to unify the titles in the division in which he fights instead of wandering to a higher weight class that will take 6 months out of his plans to do properly. Stop being an ignorant fool who thinks that beating a boxer who has not fought a live opponent since the Super Six tournament actually means something. Ward at this point in time is more of a tomato can than anyone on GGG's resume for the last three years. And if he was white, I would not have to be pointing that out to anyone, it would already have been done.

I do apply the same logic I use with others. A non-title fight at a catchweight is fine. Title fights at catchweights are not. Catchweight title fights between two fighters in the same division are an abomination and should be prohibited by all sanctioning bodies.

Lemeiux vs Golovkin would be bigger than Ward vs Golovkin?

Number one I'm not black and number two don't call me ignorant when you're going full-blown ignorant right now border lining on racial ignorance.

Is just a fighter he's not your boyfriend so calm down

Lemieux attracts fans, Ward - draw backwards, actually repulses fans. So yes, a fight against Lemieux would be a bigger fight, more people live, more viewers at home, more money, than a Ward fight.

Tune your reading comprehension a bit. I did not claim that you fit that mold, I stated that MOST GGG HATERS fit that mold. And I will stand by that. You are still being ignorant by bringing up points that have been explained and refuted dozens if not hundreds of times in the past. You are asking the same questions and expecting different answers. That is a sign of insanity if nothing else. The answers will not change. A Froch or Chavez Jr. fight would have been PPV at the time, Ward was not, is not, and for the foreseeable future will not be, a PPV event. There is less money in a Ward fight than there is in any MW unification fight for Golovkin.

Expecting any different answers to that is being foolish in not outright ****** or simply trolling for a reaction which I have now provided you and which you did not like. So stop being so ****ing ignorant and you will not be treated as such.

GGG should not be going anywhere near Ward!!!!!

This is a case where the boxing fraternity is trying to be too creative, this is not a match up to me. Its interesting only because Glolovkin is knocking out gatekeepers at 160, but this is a mis-match and people are forcing it because Ward sooner rather than later will be moving up to 175. If Glolovkin takes this fight now, the magic to the Golovkin Story ends in a few months, I don't really want to see that happen because I think his career has legs and he needs to be fighting a Canelo in front of 50-100,000 people on PPV, that is where the Golovkin story should make or break. That should be his career trajectory, and after that he has a launch pad to take more risky fights at 168 and even 175.

Ward will beat the snot out of him and shut him out, and all of a sudden you have totally lost the gloss he currently has. He is not like Canelo taking Mayweather either, where he is a young fighter who you can build up again. I think he should just let this one go and let it be for the sake of his career. If it happens down the road then great, if it doesn't then so be it.

I'm not sure that Ward beats the snot out of GGG, but your reasoning here is sound.

What isn't sound, and makes no sense to me, is the reasoning of Ward fans who say that we already know GGG is the best MW in the world, so he should move up and fight Ward immediately. No need to see him unify at 160, because we already know he beats everybody there.

But they also say they know Ward would school GGG, and GGG's fans know it too, which is why they don't want him to move up.

So knowing that GGG beats everybody at 160 means that those fights don't need to happen. But knowing Ward beats GGG at 168 means that, for them, it MUST happen. And it must happen NOW.
