Why Does Gennady Golovkin Fear Greatness?

[KnockoutNed]

He's not that good and his team knows it.

He's not that good and his team knows it.

Good enough to fight the best boxer on the planet where he holds 3 current titles and meet the larger, second best boxer on the planet halfway.

What a coward.

What a coward.

A guy that came from 130 and at the end of his career nearly 40 and way past his best , your right GGG is acting like a coward who likes to bully little guys that have moved up 5 divisions .

Fight Ward and do something that people respect him for , beating old little guys that dont belong in a division is not brave .

[icha]

You have to love it when someone who has been arguing for years that Ward and GGG are the same size begins to argue that Ward can't possibly meet him halfway.

kind of like GGGs team saying they wont drop a single pound for a canelo fight (160 or no fight), but, but ggg and canelo are the same size doe...

[just the facts]

First of all there is no offer on the table from Ward, only this vague interview where he just rants a bit and says he is ready and HBO is talking / planning.

Ward himself said HBO wants to buildup this fight. It doesnt make sense when

1.) ward has been inacitve for almost 2 years and only fought once

2.) Ward only fight in the last couple years was on BET on a irrelevant networks with 300k viewers and free tickets.

3.) GGG wants to unify belts at MW and can probably fight Lemieux soon which is a top fight and will be able to face the Canelo / Cotto winner.

4.) Froch would have been an exception because it would have been a huge fight in england and a PPV fight which would have made GGG much much more money than Ward.

5.) Ward is not ******, he knows whats going on with HBO and the fight, and he knows that GGG is the money fight for him and he also knows that GGG has a great chance to land that Canelo fight early next year and that he is in talks with De la Hoya to fight Lemieux next.

Ward uses the GGG brand to draw attention, its a smart move i have to admit, but theres no way a serious offer on any table. Its just talks and promoting his own fights who not many care about, but if he keeps talking about GGG and how GGG is avoiding him, of course people will wanna watch his fights and see what its all about.

Ward is clever, but GGG ain't ****** either.

So he said if you really wanna fight now, lets make 50/50 across the board, money and weight. (and by the way, its not long ago that Ward said he would move to 160 for Floyd)

yadayadayada and more of the same. In the meantime, ggg (at 33) hasn't fought even one quality opponent and at this time has no solid plans to fight one

I wonder if they did eventually agree upon 168, would Ward be able to make that comfortably? Wasn't he 172 for his last fight?

if he is struggling at 168 imagine at 164?

Not a single HOF fighter on his resume not even a single elite fighter , becoming a glorified Butterbean knocking over ordinary fighters that held tin , a title means nothing on face value who holds it means everything .

[-DSG-]

Dat boy scared Ward would whip his ass plain and simple!

[Jubei]

They did exactly what I thought. Bring up Floyd, call me a hater, make it a race issue or downplay Ward. A few gave me the answer I wanted though.

Wait you opened a thread which is based on the "story" that Ward sent GGG an offer to fight at 168, and you cant even provide a link of that supposed offer?

He currently has an offer on the table to fight Andre Ward at 168. A win for GGG over Andre Ward does the following for his career:

Where is that offer? Still awaiting that link.

Or did you make this whole thread with just a couple assumptions and interpretations from a known GGG hater (you) to entertain the likes of you?

Like always the haters failed.

Thats why he is #3 p4p while Ward is unranked. Yo guys are blinded by hate, check the rankings and check what sites like the Ring, ESPN etc have to say about GGG. You 20 ******ed haters on NSB dont mean anything.

GGG will probably have a unification fight against Lemieux and after that probably face the Canelo/Cotto winner.

What more can you ask for? He might move up when he has all the belts and challenge your lord and saviour Andre Bored.
