Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Andre Ward Must Go to 164 or No Fight

[MDPopescu]

"Moving up after Suoer Six doe" oh wait Kovalev is there?




"Let me drag Gennady to 168 doe"

... "But I'm so slick, doe... I've been deducted two points in one round only for supposed unsportsmanlike conduct, doe..."

[Wizardsh]

And after this bolded part you think a single soul will take you seriously?

Of course they will take that dip$h!t seriously, to many wannabe larrys that eat that will $h!t up

[MC Hammer]

As with all boogie man fighters, once its time to prove his worth GGG didn't, thats to be expected. But to outright avoid it, and probably will have the nerve to STILL say no one will fight him is hilarious. Another hype job, keep feasting on the week ass 160 division. I guess your "big fight" Lemeiux ( who also has beaten absolutely no one) is a step up smh.

The 154-168 thing has been exposed as a myth but it seems to me Ward's situation is more desperate because Golovkin can wait around for the Cotto Canelo winner and pick up a belt in the meantime. What does Ward have to do or wait around for? I guess he can wait for Kovalev and Stevenson to bash each other.

So let me get this straight . GGG and team release through multiple media streams that they will fight Ward with a 50/50 purse split and a 164 catch weight . You've been on all these threads justifying this duck move , but now your suggesting its either a inauthentic press release or simply means nothing because they never got to the table ? But never mind the fact the ward asked them to come to the table to iron out these terms , but they refused . I see , your simply picking and choosing what u deem as valid and authentic based on whether or not it fits into your GGG DEFENSE STRATEGY , Got it !!!

There was never a press release. You do understand what a press release is, don't you? Take my word for it, there never was one. THERE WAS NEVER ANY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO CAMPS. All of these threads stem from the same statement that was made to Dan Rafael on his blog. The video interview that was given had questions asked in it that were based on that statement and that statement alone.

Ward never asked ANYONE to come to the table. No one was refused. I can give you a link to the Rafael blog post, to the video and to Loeffler's statement that there was never any communication between the two camps and no offer was made or received. All of that is very easy to find on the net.

Can you provide even ONE LINK to back up your claims? JUST ONE?

NO? Big ****ing surprise that is!

Now just go away because you are an idiot and I am tired of educating you.

Andre Ward, the P4P skilled elite fighter (supposedly right behind Mayweather) who refuses to move up one weight class and win another title, and just wants to defend his 168 Belt against Light-Heavyweights and Middleweights -- in Oakland if he can get away with it too.

If Ward feel that he has outgrown 168 with his 172 catchweight fight, then he should happily move on up to LIght-Heavyweight in the same manner that Danny Garcia is moving up to 147. That or except the terms to make this fight happen. One Champion (Chad Dawson) already did it for him, it's his turn to do something to get a big fight made. Simply defending your 168 belt isn't gonna cut it MR. P4P # 2 in the world.

Just pray Kovalev takes care of business this weekend. Andre will probably take one more fight and then it should be on to Kovalev.

Don't get caught up into everything Ward's trainer says.

Ward took the Smith fight to knock the rust off. He'll probably take one more fight against a legit Light Heavyweight (maybe Pascal) then it's on to Kov.

If that doesn't happen then feel free to run your ****suckers freely about Ward.

As Pascal is fighting tomorrow night, I guess that means Ward will not be fighting again this year, or at least not until the end of the year. So that would hold to his 'champion's schedule' of fighting once per year or less that he seems to have created for himself.

I figure Ward will want at least another two fights at 175 before taking on Kovalev. That will take another two years or so at the pace he is going. By that time, Kovalev should be gone from LHW as it gets more difficult for him to make weight with every passing fight. Then all the Ward fans will be claiming Kovalev ducked him.

If Ward wants a tune up fight at 175, I suggest he give Beterbiev a shot. Such a young kid with so few fights should be no challenge for him, right?

If Ward feel that he has outgrown 168 with his 172 catchweight fight,

i really dislike the ppl who use the 172 test run excuse as to why ggg should be able to duck...ward has made it clear 168 is where he will be fighting..his resume is solid enough for him to have one cherry/come back fight...but team ggg is pick any and every excuse to avoid the ring..that is not wat boxing is about...ward has said ggg first then kovalev at 175...that should happen not u trying to figure up some math equation that isnt there..floyd fought at 154 and 152 he is still a ****ing WW...u cant pikc a man's class for him..but on the flip slide ggg said he will beat anybody 154-168...lets see it then or come out and say that is a lie

[PR ESQ.]

big drama show my arse... hype a la lucas. first legit opponent and this Russian wanna be mexi faces and all the hysteria will cease.. u'll see...

Well he isn't wrong. They don't need Ward.

GGG beats Ward at 164 by the way. And I'd be shocked if Vegas didn't have him as the favorite. And that's why Ward won't take the fight. He knows he needs every advantage. His problem is he thinks he's a draw.

This topic is funny. Ward is the GGG hater's last hope to beat him. Although I have no idea how you can dislike Gennady's style. Ward has been a diva his whole career.

Ward always makes guys come to him in weight. Is fighting BUMS and at catchweights! But Golovkin gets criticism and NEVER Ward. Hypocrites

By looking at these boards the past month it's clear Gennady is becoming the biggest fighter in the sport. Haters are going to have to except it.

And it seems like Floyd fans are against Gennady and are grouping GGG fans with PacFans. But this situation is the opposite. It's GGG like Floyd who was being called scared to take the fight, when we all know that wasn't and isn't the case.

You're hate is transparent.
