Comments Thread For: 30-Day Weights: Golovkin 165 Lbs, Lemieux 175.8 Lbs

I'm calling bull**** on the bolded.

What positive discussions has Ward had with Duva? And when did Ward he say he is going to move up to LHW?

Duva wants the fight, and Roc would love Ward to fight anybody with a pulse. But the fight won't happen unless Ward wants it too, and he doesn't.

Check out this interview with Andre after the Floyd/Berto fight. When asked about Kovalev, just before the 1 min mark, Ward won't even speak Krusher's name.

"Critics want me to move up. They seem to be trying to push for that. But as always, I'm going to put my head together with my team, hit my knees and pray, and I'll do what's right for me and my family."

Ward isn't going to fight Kovalev.

100% agree. Ward's not fighting Kovalev.

He's proven to be too risk adverse for that. Bute & Stevenson looked like legit threats and he told them no. Dawson offered 168 and jumped at it, didn't even care about winning the lineal LHW title after he just cleared out 168.

If Golovkin gets Canelo/Cotto then obviously he has to take that but I don't want him wasting time with Andy Lee or whoever else. What's the point?

My issue has been with the noises from the Golovkin camp which have not been positive about a potential Ward fight or any move up in weight unless it's on their terms which are changing and becoming more unreasonable by the day. I'd like to see GGG-DeGale too but will they ever move up for that fight?

At least Ward has said that he'll move up and campaign at LHW and has already had positive discussions with Kovalev's people about that fight happening.

Ward already moved up, why does he want to move back down and fight a middleweight? Because he's scared of Kovalev

Not surprising. GGG is a small MW who could be fighting at J54 if he wanted to kill himself to make weight like Canelo, Lara, Andrade, etc.

I wonder, GGG is wishing super WW 30 day limit, but he's so BIG!

To further iterate why I posted GGG's 30 day out weight, it's because the excuse that he is a big MW, too big for Canelo, is utter garbage.

The contracted limit for the Lemieux fight maximum middleweight limit of 160 lbs; neither fighter can be more than 176 lbs. as of September 17. Golovkin sits at165 lbs., way within the 30-day for a super welterweight fight. (super Welter Weight, you read that right).

Lemieux's being at 175.8 is just making it.

Floyd has fought bigger fighters than GGG.

And Ward walks around at 180, ur you all so easily call for that.

Reasoning is failing you my son (of God).

You all love to talk, but it rarely is in the area of truth.

FFS stop it with GGG fighting ward.

floyd moved up to jr midle weight to fight cotto who is not regarded as the top guy at the weight. He then fought Canelo at a catch weight.

GGG willing to fight frotch and Chavez jr at 168 and ward at a catch weight.

See the similarity?

Pac did the same when he first moved up to welterweight

Don't bother. These people operate on double standards.

You're "calling bull****" on something that was confirmed by both camps? :

Ok then

Only thing Roc Nations and Main Events confirmed is that they talked and it went well. Roc Nations & K2 said the same thing a month earlier. Stop reaching.

They're desperate as **** to unite in ******ity aren't they?

Most of them are flo mos who jumped ship knowing floyd is retiring and some of them are wardos, who will support andreA coWard no matter how big of a joke he has become, smdh.
