Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Ward Should Unify, Stop Obsessing!

[DLX]

he will not get the wbc belt you really think the wbc will strip either fighter your crazy cotto and canelo make way more money then ggg

Yes they will get stripped if they act like cowards.

The WBC has to maintain credibility. The only reason they are fighting for the belt is because GGG AGREED to step aside with the agreement Gennady gets the winner or the belt. This could be easily upheld in court.

You act like Canelo or Cotto will care. They'll just drop the belt and move on.

lol u talked about him for 2 years while he said ggg dont want it and just not mention him and now that he says ok lets do it then u tell him to stop obsessing?

i still dont get why ggg fans wouldnt want to see this and yes we all want to see ward kovalev but why cant we have both? i just dont honestly get it. ward asked for so long just not to talk about him if u dont want the fight thats all he asked but abel just kept bringing him up none stop.

Also ggg been trying to get a mayweather fight for years im sorry i love watching ggg fight but im so tired of this new formula pretend everyone is scared then if anyone is favored to win pretend the fight makes no sense.

And im sorry but a ggg ward fight is basically the fight for number 1 p4p period. there is no better fight in boxing right now none not a single one. yes canelo ggg would be fun but its not a better fight. please stop giving ggg a pass on this fans cause i can promise u ward is going to fight kovalev its just a shame we cant have both fights instead this he said she said crap. i guess k2 is so worried about ward beating ggg and ending his image that the fight is impossible

Speaking for myself, I do want the Golovkin/Ward. I believe Golovkin wins an ugly fight, maybe even stops Ward. Judging alone gave Froch an MD loss to Ward and I thought that was totally one-sided. I expect Golovkin to be far more competive given his better accuracy and balance. Golovkin routinely practices grappling techniques, routinely spars with larger & stronger fighters, his regular work with Sullivan Barrera avoiding a tough style, his gold medal defeat to Gaydarbekov was similar to how you'd expect Ward to fight Golovkin - lots of hit & hold from a bigger man going for a points victory. Golovkin strikes me as someone who learns from his experiences and adapts thus the wrestling training as a pro. A win over Ward instantly validates Golovkin's hype.

Golovkin is at the point where he can finally seal up the MW division by getting all the belts and maybe having his mega fight with Alvarez next year - same thing Hopkins and Hagler both waited for in Trinidad & Hearns.

Ward announced in March he was having tune-ups, fought Smith same night Lemieux/N'Dam, K2 made it clear Lemieux was their top priority, and Ward puts up an offer at the time that fight was either done or basically done. And 50/50 is BS. Even if Golovkin didn't have the Lemieux, Lee, Alvarez fights on the immediate horizon, even if Ward was selling tickets and getting the same kind of tv numbers as Golovkin - Golovkin is the guy who has to move up and concede a weight advantage. All things being equal (which they're not), common sense should tell you the guy moving up should get compensated more. If Ward's really trying to make this fight happen I would expect him to make an offer that would be hard for Golovkin to refuse.

I don't care at all. Gennady wants the belt and he will get it regardless. The image of those two fighter will take a hit if they win and don't face that challenge. What other fights out there will they get people excited about? Not to mention having to answer countless questions about avoiding the fight.

He wants the belt or big money? Let's not be naive.

The image of the two fighters will take a hit, eh? Good luck with that.

Lmfao why does Andre Ward allow himself to get owned so badly first he rejects GGG offer now he is crying to what little fanbase he has pretending as If doing that will make an iota of a difference, bizarre little man Ward is.

Golovkin has took Wards spotlight now Ward is upset that is all this is BUT Ward had the oppertunity to take a fight but instead of accepting he cried about not getting the same treatment Froch or Chavez Jr did well... That's because both Chavez and Froch sell the house out and attract numbers to their event Ward only attracts 300k to BET enough said... dumbasses seriously.

Obviously he would like both. When you collect all the belts and are the only name in the division, it's tough for people to ignore you.

I don't require luck, I don't have a dog in the fight. But to think these guys can turn down a mandatory in GGG, drop the belt and fight some lesser opponent no one wants to see and expect to not lose respect is naive.

Ward fans are so upset right now you can taste the salt in their comments, Ward is chasing an unknown bum whilst GGG is mingling with star names like Lemieux. Jacobs, Cotto, Canelo, Quillin whilst Ward.... who... Zacc Dunn??
Dude that's never fought away from home but which guy am I talking about Ward or Dunn LMFAO

Loeffler said the Roc Nation email was received hours after he’d already announced Golovkin’s fight with Lemieux at Madison Square Garden, with Roc Nation aware the World Boxing Council designated Golovkin (33-0, 30 knockouts) the mandatory challenger to a then-pending Miguel Cotto-Saul “Canelo” Alvarez title bout that will be fought Nov. 21. Roc Nation promotes Cotto.

If that's true, then that's a pretty shameless move by Ward. Send K2 an offer right after they announce another fight just so you can say they turned you down. Well like Ward said, he's got the email, so he can prove if Tom's lying.

I bet you though we never see that email and that this was yet just more Andre Ward double talk like the Chavez Jr/Froch situation or saying he'd take a fight at LHW and then turning down Stevenson, or saying Bute needs to earn it but signing to fight Pavlik.

[M Bison]

They don't want it, can't blame them. Ward would most likely beat him and end his undefeated record. They will have to stay at 160 and hope Canelo or Cotto gives them an opportunity to get a big fight. There is no other big fight out there for him.

Lmao you're talking out your ass there are plenty of big names out there for GGG thats bigger than Ward for example the guy he is fighting in October.
Then the following
Quillin
Andy Lee
Billy Joe Saunders
Eubank Jr
Cotto
Canelo
Danny Jacobs

Ward is stuck with chasing a guy who isn't at his division and then maybe chasing Kovalev or Adonis Stevenson, situation is by far worse off for Ward some Yankees just like to create their own bias criteria but fact is Ward hasn't beat anybody that would have took him into deep waters because of their ability but even when he did get a tough fight he spoiled it by hugging and headbutting.

Mr Andre "I don't move up or down for anyone" Ward
