Comments Thread For: Team GGG: Ward Not The A-Side, Can't Dictate Terms

[Dean_Razorback]

Trying to unify own division = COWARD

Trying to fight a smaller man = BRAVERY

the sad thing is that they accused GGG of fighting or wanting to fight small MWs or former Jr MWs like rosado or cotto (the actual MW lineal champion) and praised Ward for unifying his division, the exact same thing GGG is trying to do now

Team GGG should just stop mentioning Ward. They're just giving him publicity. If they have no intentions of fighting him, don't answer questions about him. They're just making themselves look bad.

What do you want them to do? Reporters always ask these guys about one another, they give a response and it gets made into a half dozen stories.

no, I'm saying since he can't get the quality opponent he wants at 160, go find one somewhere else. That's why I have been saying Ward, Floyd or Lara would be fine with me. The ward fight seems to be the most realistic of these given the climate.

Slowly, you are admitting that ward is high risk for GGG and likely beats him. Actually, they are taking a page from ODH, Shane and Manny relative to Floyd. GGG, much like them, knows ward is highly skilled and could not only defeat him but neuter him and make fans question if he is as good as HBO has said.

To say he has fights at 160 is fine, but he showed a willingness to go to 168 for the money, why not do it to fill the void in quality comp you complain about?

Ward would be high risk for ANYONE in and around his weight division. Kovalev included. Nobody is denying that he's a great fighter.

I just dont understand your stance on having GGG move up to fight Ward when you arent demanding Ward fight the champ in the very same division that he currently fights in.

GGG has no easy task against Lemeiux and hopefully gets the winner of Cotto/Canelo next. If not I wouldnt mind watching him chase Erislandy "hussain bolt" Lara around the ring either. GGG has options at 160 whereas Ward's list of quality opponents is slim to none.

come on fellas, show some honesty and integrity.

Going to 168 for froch or chavez when no one will fight you at 160-EASY MONEY

Not going to 168 for ward and instead claiming unifying division titles is goal-COWARDLY

Going to 168 to fight Ward just like you would chavez or froch-BRAVERY

Offering 164 to fight Ward -UNMANLY

[bigjavi973]

Please explain to us how a Ward/GGG fight makes more sense than a Ward/Kovalev fight?

GGG already stated that he would move 4lbs north to make the fight. Ward cant make 164 and who knows if he can even make 168 since he's now fighting at 172. If both fighters were able to meet somewhere in the middle without either fighter having to make much of a weight sacrifice, then the fight would have more legitimacy.

geezuz.....

GGG fights Ward it'll be for the Lineal 168 lbs title...

Wouldn't ya GGG fans want to fight at the full limit for that title just like ya want the Cotto fight at the full limit for the lineal 160 lbs title?

[GMAN SUPREME]

I am not "calling for GGG" to go up just because, I am suggesting he do it to find the quality opposition he and his fans claim always duck him. Additionally, he was willing to go up to fight chavez and froch, which suggests staying at 160 and winning all the belts is not something he is married to.

ggg is staying at middleweight.he's only moving up for big names/money fights at this point I believe.kind of like when pavilik moved up to fight hopkins.yes everybody was ducking golovkin a few years ago sturm ndam and martinez ect.dont act like its not true

Simple just don't answer.

Quality and or level of competition is quite easy to see.. even a 10 yr old can see it.. mind you GGG is 2 years older than Ward.. hes not a prospect or anything....

His team was the one that said 154-168.... that's why.
