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

[AllBoxingAD]

That isn't sufficient enough because he was willing to test 168 with froch or chavez jr. If those fights wouldn't derail the unification dream than ward @ 168 will not.

GGG just doesn't want to risk a loss at this point.

Its really that simple.

GGG does not like the risk vs reward equation with Andre Ward.

Why is it so hard for them to admit it?

LOL, Bums are the A side then?

You can be popular and be a bum compared to Ward.
Ward is way better than Froch, Chavez. I know he's not as popular.
Not calling them bums period, just bums compared to Ward.

Ward is bigger than GGG. No duh but he's no bigger than Chavez and Froch who GGG would fight in a heartbeat at the full 168lb limit for Froch and whatever weight Chavez feels like he wants to weigh in at.

Oh but Triple G at 154 is too big for Floyd? How does this work again?

LOL @ acting like Triple G not wanting to give Ward a weight advantage mean he's ducking...

But when Ward says he'll fight Floyd at 160 and says Hopkins at 170 but Dawson has to be 168..is OK...

Floyd said he'd fight Trinidad at 160...won't even fight Triple G at 154...

So yes, some fighters are willing to move up in weight depending on the opponent...

Right after you guys admit that Floyd has ducked a lot of fighter based on the same principle..I'll agree...

Obviously it's a bad look when they said they'd go to 68 for other fights, but it is perfectly reasonable in this case to do one. There's been complaints about catchweights in boxing recently, but this is one scenario where it'd be fine. You have two champions in different divisions who can meet in the middle.

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.

LOL, Chavez isn't doing himself many favors, but I wouldn't say Froch is a bum compared to ward. He's not as good as Ward obviously.

LOL, Don't even bother.

2 out of Ward's last 3 fights involved fighters moving around in weight to make him happy and he wants to make it 3 out of the last 4 with GGG.

Get real guys, Ward is a chump change bully who isn't gonna get his way this time.
