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

[whitelightning8]

WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin is ready to fight Andre Ward, the ruler at 168-pounds - but only if they meet halfway at a catch-weight of 164-pounds.

Ward has not weighed any lower than 166 since 2006 and won't be able, under any circumstances, to get down to 164. Last month, Ward returned for the first time since November 2013 and stopped Paul Smith in nine rounds. That fight took place 172-pounds.

I've made it clear I think GGG should be allowed to collect all the mw titles before being expected to move up. He has no trouble making 160 let him try to be the best mw ever. That being said, I dont think Ward can make 164 so i think 166 would be fair. Might not be comfortable but Ward did say he wanted Mayweather at 160 so he could make it.

i told yall triple bum is all hype.. the new jeff lacy .. fighting at 168 is not an advantage for ward when triple bum already stated he can fight there.

this guy will be exposed one day. .i was just hoping it came soon.. but it seems he is avoiding his judgement day.. all fans will see the bum for what it is when he steps up and grows some ball$

What the hell does 50-50 weight mean? lol


I don't know anything about Ward's current weight situation, but 166, IMO, would be a more reasonable weight offer. Anyways, file this one along with Loma-Rigo under greats fights that can't be agreed upon on.

Ward moves down 4 pounds. Golovkin moves up 4 pounds.

Greatest MW ever? What are you smoking, he's 33 and isn't even lineal.

A star? He hasn't sold 1 ppv, even Mayweather and Pacquiao didn't make their opponents drop so much at a CW and they were mega stars.

can't you discuss something without subliminally turning the topic to how much you love floyd?

i actually hate the catchweight and think they should fight at 168 or not at all, but what i said before is still the truth

golovkin was offering to fight anyone at anything when he was a nobody making nothing and had nothing to lose

he's a star now and surprise surprise, laying down terms

Why not a CW of 168? Im thinking Ward is going to campaign as a lhw, from now on.

triple bum is 33 years old with not even a B level opponent on that trash a$$ resume.. yet hes the A side to andre ward? lol

how is 168 an advantage for ward when triple bum was ready to face the other bum chavez at that weight ?

[mabulkhair]

Ward didn't call out Dawson, Dawson called out Ward for a fight at 168, Ward accepted. A side? GTFO with that bollocks, he's acting likes he's a PPV star when he isn't.

Actually he did. Wards team wanted it at 168 http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/boxing/chad-dawson-calls-loss-andre-ward-hbo-set-184031903.html. Yes he is the A side, GGG viwership puts Wards to shame. GGG has California on his back. Ppl were booing Wards name when it was mentioned at the Forum that's a shame. GGG stole Cali from Ward. Abd yes he is the A side, puts Wards viewership numbers to shame.

Does it hurt that even megastars like Mayweather and Pacquiao weren't as big of a ***** as diva Golovkin?
