Comments Thread For: Sanchez: GGG-Lemieux Will Answer Questions on Both

[just the facts]

Ward only decided he was ready for GGG now after Loeffler started negotiating with Oscar over Lemieux.

Wasn't Andre saying he needed a couple of tune-ups first till then?

So you guys can't even wait for GGG to finish his business at 160 before you start spouting crap about him ducking Ward?

How long ago was it that Ward first mentioned Kovalev? Over a year, innit?

Well Krusher says he's ready for Ward whenever, and neither of them have any opponents lined up, and Andre has already fought once at LHW - so what is he waiting for?

And why are you guys still talking about Ward/GGG, instead of Ward/Kovalev.

That's a rhetorical question, btw. I already know what the answer is, as does every genuine, unbiased fan here.

Admit it, NOTHING unbiased about you. GGG fanboy to the core if truth is told. You are right, it's time to put Ward/ggg to rest. After all that rhetoric (no one will fight me, we'll fight anyone from 154-168), it turns out ggg is gonna be just another protected poser. Just think of the prestige and earning power he would have had with Wards scalp on his belt.

If team ggg thought he could beat Ward this fight would have gotten made, they don't. On with Ward/Kovalev!

"I am ready to fight the best 168- and 175-pounders that are out there," Ward told ESPN.com in a recent interview. "At this point, a big fight at 175 is interesting to me. I don't want to go up just to go up. But for the right fight, for a big fight, I would go up. I'm willing to fight anyone at '68 or '75."

A hardcore ggg fan claiming boxing fans deserve good fights. Jesus Christ pot, kettle, black

Ward vs GGG is nowhere near as entertaining as a GGG vs Canelo showdown.

I am a GGG fan. Is that something I should try to hide?

You are obviously not a GGG fan, yet you have posted 20x more comments about him than I have. And it's always the same irrelevant ****e about Andre Ward, over and over again.

Why? Is somebody paying you to do it or what?

All I ever do is state the simple facts in response. Here they are again:

GGG is a a MW. His aim is to unify the belts at MW, and that's what he is trying to do. He has a unification fight lined up against Lemieux, and, if he wins it, another unification fight after that, against the winner of Cotto/Canelo. These would all be MW title fights, and the weight limit for MW is 160lbs, and always has been.

Andre Ward is not a MW. He holds a world title at SMW, but has not defended it in 2 and a half years, and his last fight was at LHW.

Ward has NEVER tried to negotiate a fight with Golovkin, and Ward's promotors have never sent Tom Loeffler any offers whatsoever to try and make that fight.

No fighter should ever be called a duck or a hype-job for wanting to fight the top men and unify all the world titles in his own weight division, rather than moving up to a higher division and fighting bigger men instead.

If you see anything biased or factually incorrect in what I wrote above, then by all means, highlight it.

Otherwise, stfu about Andre Ward or start talking about him maybe fighting guys in his own weight division, if you can find out what it is nowadays.

Here's a bit of info that might help you out there - it's NOT MW.

Truly I think this will be a quicker version of JCC Sr./Rosario

Neither of these two guys are as technically sound as those two old timers. Bad comparison

Fantasia, I like your avatar, its my old buddy from Auburn, Wa Greg "The Mutt", wonder if his Mom still owns one of my old hangouts, the Rail Tavern

Really thats cool, he was one of my favorites from when I was a kid. He was small but tough as nails and knowing now that he was into drugs during that time is heart breaking. To think that a little guy like him use to compete in bar room tough men contests is awesome.

Fight should be good but won't answer many questions either because David is a limited brawler and Golovkin is still being matched against fighters no one believes can win....Still going to be fun just because David really believes he can win and will try his best to hurt Gennady
