Ward begging for GGG fight

Originally posted by Eastcoast View PostMaybe, but it was never said that Golovkin sees Ward as a walk-over. Everyone knows that Ward's game plan is to impose his physical size advantage on Golovkin in an ugly mauling fight. At the same time what's his incentive to jump 8lbs? Ward doesn't bring the Mexican market like Chavez and Ward doesn't bring the UK market like Froch. Ward doesn't even bring a strong Oakland market right now. Ward needs to make up for that factor if he expects the smaller man to move up.
Golovkin will drop down for Floyd, just like Ward said he would. Cotto & Alvarez are fighting for a MW title that Golovkin is part owner of; small or not they're in his division. When Golovkin fought Rosado, he offered Rosado a CW of 158 w/o Rosado's team even asking for it.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS EQUATION you have Andre Ward. A guy who said he'd go up to LHW for a single fight, then made the #1 LHW come down to his weight and even refused later to fight at 170lbs. A guy who refused a 2 fight deal with Adonis Stevenson, the first at 168lbs in Oakland with a rematch at 175lbs in Montreal (he was saying Stevenson needed to prove himself and instead was calling out Chavez Jr). A guy who wanted to fight MW Caleb Truax at 168lbs, no CW offerdecisions

Originally posted by HeroBando View PostYeah no doubt, esp since he railed on other guys for demanding CWs and discounted their CW wins. Hypocritical POS, but he still beats Canelo at 154 easy, killing your argument.

I don't think Ward needs to work very hard on pursuing Kovalev, if he wants it next it'll happen. Heck make it in Russia, where they'll make the most money.

It's a shame that Golovkin is preventing the Ward fight. If he was more willing to fight the best fighters in the sport, we could have a superfight on our hands. Instead we have to watch Golovkin fight more overmatched opposition. It's disappointing.
