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

[skinnystev]

the fat slob that soggy has become cannot make 168 never mind 164 fight will not happen

[skinnystev]

soggy should fight chavez jr for the 172 lb catch weight championship there both in the same league

Putting aside your unhealthy obsession with Floyd, Ill answer your question seriously.

Floyd went through 5 divisions and fought his way to the top of p4p rankings before he fought his 1st catchweight fight. Fought many guys bigger then him along the way.

GGG is still on his first division and has accomplished jack ****.

If Ward tried telling Kovalev or Stevenson to come to 172 to fight him, I wouldnt find it acceptable either.

I have to bring up Floyd to demonstrate the double standard of posters...

But when Pacquiao had his first catch weight at 145 lbs against Cotto... did you say "Come on guys, Manny is fighting in his 8th division, cut him a break on the weight division."?

What people said back then has absolutely no bearing on today

It's the same posters who are FIomos, fans of Ward, Rigo, and some are Lara although not as many because he doesn't have an "0".

Floyd fought Canelo at 152 and Rigo wants a catch weight and rehydration clause for Loma...

Floyd was willing to fight De La Hoya at 54' and Cotto at 54..also Trinidad at 160..

I'm not understanding how these Nerds can act like they have a consistent position lol..

Triple G said he'd fight at 164...If Ward can't make 164..then Ward can fight Kovalev at 175 because he just made 172..simple as that...

Ward just has a long history of having every condition in his favor or he will not take fights.. Super 6 = only left Cali once and still in his home country with Conte...

Ward drained Dawson at 168 but said 170 is Ok for Hopkins..

Fights at 172 but won't fight Kovalev at 175..

Fighters from Eastern Europe/Central Asia are learning from Mayweather, Ward and Cotto to always seek advantages.

Floyd Mayweather demanded a catch weight for Canelo and Cotto for Geale, so why is it so wrong for GGG to request a catch weight?

Ward will not fight below 168, but the double standards people say Lomachenko agree to a catchweight?

Ward/Kellerman conned poor Dawson down to 168, but the Princess refuses a 164 catch weight to fight the smaller GGG?

LOL @ this comment...

Pacquiao drained Cotto..doesn't count...

Canelo's manager is ****** for agreeing to 152...Floyd would have beaten Canelo even at 154...

I see how this works...

I see a fighter you "like" is being asked to meet a catch weight..so now catch weights are ruining the sport again..

[Easy Work.]

GGG could probably make 168 with no problem. Whats the point of this dumbass catchweight?

Anyone from 154 to 168 doe

Manny fighting Cotto at 145 was his 7th division, and yes it was received with very little backlash due to the fact that Manny had moved up so much already. The story of that fight isnt the weight, its the ass-whupping.

It was my personal opinion that Cotto should have held firm on the weight but I didnt give Manny hell for requesting it.

Look I gotta tell you, comparing GGG to ATGs like Floyd and Manny will just make GGG look worse and worse. You should re-think your strategy.

[MisanthropicNY]

How can anyone with a brain possibly compare Canelo and Cotto potentially asking Triple G for a catch weight with Triple asking Ward for one?

Canelo and Cotto are fighting in the same division as Triple G..

Just like Ward fighting at 172 is still lightheavy..

Triple G fights doesn't fight at Super Middleweight... a Catch is completely reasonable to seek... Triple G isn't hiding in the Super Middleweight division taking fights at catch weights..

that's what Cancelo, Cotto and Ward are doing to avoid Triple G and Kovalev
