Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Explains Situation With Andre Ward

[kafkod]

Why does he need to drop to 164 but Froch and Chavez Jr didnt? there is no way around that man

Can't you read? Other options, plus the balance of risk and reward. BIG rewards for Chavez and Froch, very poor reward for Andre. Also, the path to unification at 160 has opened up now for GGG, and he has always said that was his number one priority.

Why did Floyd fight Oscar and Cotto at 154, but Canelo had to come to 152, btw?

degale ward is not going to happen...al haymon is in control of degale so for all intensive purposes as of now...it is useless to talk about that scrap, thats why its in wards best interest to get ggg now or move on up and test wat at 175 even if he's not a natural at the weight that

Well Ward/GGG at 168 isn't going to happen for at least another year. What is Andre going to do in the meantime, more rubbish opponents at CWs on BET?

[kafkod]

That sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. And on that note if Cotto beats Canelo and demands a CW with their promoter's logic they will accept

Don't include the word "logic" in a sentence as ****** as that.

... How did you figure out?

I am so ****ing sick of this sport. The best always refuse to fight the best. ****ing gay.

For once, I agree with you, bird brain.

Ward's last fight was at LHW, so why doesn't he fight Kovalev, instead of pestering a MW?

[twosweethooks]

The hypocrisy is rampant

Tom L needs to stick to his guns and forget Ward for Now as greater things are coming !!!

GGG has a dangerous foe in front of him and anything can happen in boxing!!

Cotto and Canelo is in a pickem fight and Hopefully GGG will get the winner and become the Lineal MW champeen of the World!!! It's all about Clout and that title has the pristine Clout !!! It's second to the heavyweight title!

If GGG gets thru the next two fights more especially with KnockOuts he will go down as the greatest MW in world history!!!

Jr will soon be forgotten except for a nominal few , GGG will Reign Supreme and then Ward will have to come to GGG unless he gets Kovalev first and get destroyed there poor guy drifting off into the nice sunset

[twosweethooks]

Gennady Golovkin is the biggest coward in boxing today.

He is a black eye on this sport.

How is that MANG???

[OnePunch]

But you're ok with GGG vs Ward for Ward's lineal 168 lbs title at CW 164

I certainly am NOT. I hate catchweights PERIOD.

There is however a distinction to be made between someone demanding one WITHIN THE SAME DIVISION THEY HOLD A TITLE IN, and someone throwing one out there to someone in a higher division.

That being said, my position has ALWAYS been that if GGG ever fights Ward, it should be at 168, period. If they want to dangle catchweight offers in order to get a better revenue split, or venue, thats fine, but the fight needs to be at 168.


But if you want to compare the Cotto and GGG scenarios, what Cotto is doing would be the same thing as if GGG fought someone other than Ward at 168, won a title, and then demanded a 164 fight with Ward in a 168 unification, claiming "im not a real super middle doe"....

Yo MANG Jr is the reason you are sick. Forsake him and you will feel better MANG

Loeffler says all that needs to be said. I will post this video as the response to every post where someone claims that GGG is asking Ward for a catchweight.
