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

[Sweet Pea 50]

GGG should hire Drew Rosenhaus to answer any questions regarding Ward.



Because Loeffler and Sanchez just can't get it right.

[GMAN SUPREME]

they are are absolutely right.golovkin has now surpassed ward in terms popularity and marketability.lets compare the last fight's tv ratings for both guys golovkin drew well over a million viewers against an unknown fighter.ward drew a hilariously bad 300k viewers on bet LOL.golovkin's up coming fight has already sold out and will be on ppv.ward better get on his hands and knees to beg for a fight with golovkin.

This is a GGG fan at least admitting he doesn't think GGG can beat Ward, even if he does it by saying people that want to see ward/GGG only want to see GGG lose. LMFAO!!

GGG can't get top quality fighters to fight him, so we want to see ward/ggg for that reason, not just to see GGG lose. Not everyone calling for the fight thinks GGG loses.

That you posted this is hilarious IMO.

there are a lot of Ward fans who wish Ward not to fight GGG because GGG might crack his glass chin...

lol even Paul smith made him wobble.I had pity on Ward while watching this

[WarMaidana]

Both are widely regarded as top-tier P4P fighters but GGG's still looking for a major showcase scalp, whereas Ward is universally recognised as the top man at SM. That makes Ward 60/40 A-side if you ignore that hype.

not even close, yes Ward has accomplished more, although I think his resume is overrated but he cant dry flies to crap and has no fan base unlike GGG who is one of boxings biggest stars

[MC Hammer]

That's right, Ward can't draw flies to schit, b-sides need to sit back and take orders like good boys.

Says the man with Tim Bradley on his profile

[Najuk]

Why keep making public statements when its clear GGG doesn't wanna fight him?

actually a lot fans think Ward doesnt want to fight GGG

That's what being a real fan is all about. I see Ward vs Kovalev a 50/50 fight, for instance. I even think Ward could pull off a UD win against Kovalev. That's not hating on Ward, does it? As oppose to pushing someone when you know he would not do well is such a fight. That's pure hate. You might as well pray that he get injured somewhere outside of the ring or something. Man that's evil.

BTW, you still have to answer the question which fight is more competitive.

[Pigeons]

actually a lot fans think Ward doesnt want to fight GGG

The neanderthal fans.

[MC Hammer]

yea that was the reason why Dawson lost to Ward

May be. I wanted that fight to be at 175 too because I liked Dawson as a fighter and hate he ruined his career. he really shouldn't have decided to go down that far. Why should Ward make the same mistake?

[The Big Dunn]

How does fighting the champ who is more than a divsion beneath where you fight make more sense than facing the champ in the division where you're currently fighting in?

Is GGG/Ward a good fight? Sure it is and I would love to see it. Question is, why should either fighter have to sacrifice weight (whether going up or coming down) in order to make it happen when they both have top comp in the division where they currently compete in?

If GGG gets passed the fighters I mentioned and feels comfortable moving up to 168 for a mega showdown with Ward, I'd be online to buy tickets asap as I'm sure it would take place in my hometown of NYC.

Ward is the 168lb champ, he just returned at 172 after a long layoff. Sadly, you are pretending he has made a permanent move to 175, which he hasn't. Is GGG a 168lber since he has fought above 160? Of course not.

Again, in GGG's case its because he has never fought a great opponent and his fans complain all these fighters are ducking him. When a great fighter comes along and wants to fight GGG, now they want him to avoid the challenge and stick to mediocre opponents.

Frankly, if you welcomed a chavez or a froch fight at 168, which you did, there is no reason to use weight as an excuse for not fighting ward.

My guess is it would be in Vegas. It's just sad that GGG could have really tested himself, lived up to his words and gave boxing fans a great fight, win or lose.
