Goddam with all this Ward vs GGG talk. Cool GGG don't wanna fight Ward great now is Ward gonna fight Kov or Stevenson?

160 would be a great division if the fighters who have belts would fight each other at 160. boxing is messed up and getting worse because of catch weights and guys being too careful with who they fight. Eddie Hearn is a prick who won't pay any money to get decent fighters across the pond and Haymon Arum and Golden Boy are all selfish *******s who each want it all their own way. How can a division be a "wasteland" if there are 4 world champions in each. The fighters are there but the matches stink.
GGG is clearly a great technician and a very hard hitter,its plain to see.Quillen won't fight him, Andy Lee would but I doubt his promoters would let him, and Cotto won't fight him either. I don't care about the Ward fight,if it happens it happens. Ward only draws in Oakland unless he fights a bigger name. GGG draws big crowds everywhere nowadays and that is just a fact.

@ putting little g's name in the same sentence as Pac and Floyd. I can't wait till LeMule destroys this clown. The hype ends on Oct 17th.

Compare Manny's weight with GGG's at 20 and again at 30. GGG, if was a professional at age 20, would have been a Junior Welterweight - the same division as Terrance Crawford.

Brook's best win is Porter who is better than any of Golovkin's best wins.



DeGale's best win is Dirrell who is better than any of Golovkin's best wins.



I'm not an Andre Ward fan but we won't even get into comparing his resume to Golovkin's cos this could get embarrassing really quickly

Dirrel hasn't even been champion yet and Porter is decent but come on. Geale is the most accomplish of the three. Hype doesn't make you a better fighter.

I barely read anyone talking about this matchup. It's always GGG versus Ward/Cotto/Canelo. Sometimes Quillin, Jacobs or even Lee. I won't be buying this PPV but I really hope it brings us to something a little more meaningful.

lemiuex stands a much better chance than quillin, jacobs, lee

canelo lemiuex cotto would be great fights

ward is a sad man for wanting to sit at the kiddie table with these guys

A pretender, a fake, and a false Messiah

GGG is not a big MW.

And 15lbs will be no problem to cut in 30 days for Lemieux.

Can't wait for this fight, gonna be exciting for however long it lasts.

15 pounds wouldn't normally be, but he should weigh much less right now. He is oviously trying to come into the fight as heavy as he can be. Which is smart, but he is still going to lose

Draining? Maybe it's simply that he is a natural middleweight. He could make the weight the same day as the fight (same as the old-timers - and the way it should still be). He's not draining at all.

GGG is on the same weight as a Jr. MW or Super W.W. would be, and he weighed 157 his last weigh in. GGG is not a big MW, he just doesn't drain himself like Canelo has done. Heck as Ward does. Ward has always been a large SMW. He did Olympics at LHW, but tried to come out as a MW, but it was too much of a drain to still be decent.

Cotto will vacate, even though GGG is actually smaller than Canelo. All those who say GGG doesn't have a resume look past the fact that other prof. boxers are seeing something they don't want to face.

Sure Ward, but he is a Bug SMW, actually a LHW who drained himself, and he'll take GGG because he is much smaller, and he thinks he can hold him all night.

The MW division is about to have an new undisputed champion, the only question is whether Cotto/Canelo/Golden/Lee are going to let him walk into it unchallenged, or try to stand in his way.

lemiuex stands a much better chance than quillin, jacobs, lee

canelo lemiuex cotto would be great fights

Isn't Ward looking more and more [Sic] paythetic. He is quite literally unaware he has fallen off. He is talking about other fighters talking, not putting up, but then he could just as easily been describing his own career these last three years.

The man's entire hope for a comeback hinges on fighting a guy who is a small MW. He literally has no clue that if he wants back in, he has to start fighting.

He was dumb enough to believe GGG was gonna sign a contract to fight him in fall of 2016, forgoing real fights. How can the Son of God be so clueless.

Come on teddy you will buy Floyd's lame fights but not a war
I'll buy any PPV of a fighter I like

[Dirk Diggler UK]

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.

That's exactly what I said, they had positive discussions about a future fight.

There has been nothing of the sort from Ward and GGG's team because GGG's keep throwing out stipulations or pouring cold water on the fight.

Stop reaching.

Dirrel hasn't even been champion yet and Porter is decent but come on. Geale is the most accomplish of the three. Hype doesn't make you a better fighter.

So Geale is now better than Dirrell, Porter and Froch?

The guy who lost to Darren Barker?

Keep the jokes coming, bruv!
