    He's neither better nor more famous, however he comes with no political baggage, and will take a 10x smaller purse.

        Style? You mean keep Bika on the outside so you can control him instead of wrestle with him? Ward simply didn't have the punch power to keep the fight on the outside.

          Golovkin should give Monroe a rematch and KTFO him in the first round. We'll see what little Willie has to say after that.

          In the meantime, Kovalev has said that there is an open offer for Ward if he wants to accept it.

          Let the excuses begin. I'll start...

          Ward needs a tune up or two at 175 before taking on a major fight like Kovalev.

          Your turn...

Yet Ggg has to move up when Ward wants it pronto, despite Ggg finally having great options at his weight. At 50-50 no less, despite Gggs bigger draw status and the weight concession
            I don't think that at all. I don't believe Golovkin is ducking Ward. He's waiting to see if he gets the winner of Cotto/Alvarez, and that's smart. It's the right move.

            My problem is the ****** **** Golovkin's people have said and the way his hypocrite fans are eating it up. They're so attached to Golovkin that they don't care how badly it makes them look like groupies.

              Per Kim on TNR, part of Ward's 3 fight deal with HBO would require him to face Kovalev at the end. I guess that just killed that deal. Back to BET!

                Nah I can't recall but it put me off from him. It's impossible to root for any athlete these days because they all have these ****** excuses instead of just manning up and accepting it. "They didn't beat me, I beat myself." "I had some issues in camp." Anything to actually admit the other guy bested them.

                  Now I can agree with that. If Golovkin wanted Ward badly they would've made Ward an offer in March after Murray and after Ward signed with RN. But vice versa could be said for Ward as well. Both men were free to fight and neither attempted.

                      Whenever I can. Please. I ignore most of these threads because it's just Fl0mos hating on Golovkin for no reason but his skin color and Floyd haters hating Ward for the same reason. There's like 5 of these every day, and I posted in like 2 or 3 in the past week.

                      There's been nothing to trash Ward for recently. What am I supposed to trash him for? His desire to fight Golovkin? That's the only news regarding Ward recently. There's the rumor about fighting on the Cotto/Alvarez undercard, which I said Ward should do because he's not in position to be picky, otherwise there's nothing about Ward to talk about. So if I don't go out of my way to criticize Ward for nothing but criticize Golovkin and his team for the diarrhea spewing out of their mouths, that means I hate Golovkin?

                      Yes, I'm a Froch fan. But I'm not happy that he talked so much **** and then retired. I really wanted to see Froch/Golovkin. But I'm also not a jackass who shouted duck or coward over that because that is ridiculous. Froch deserved whatever fight he wanted after a great career. If Golovkin ever puts together a career that good, he can do the same. That's the privilege you earn when you do what Froch did.

                      I don't even think Golovkin is ducking Ward. I get what Golovkin is doing and have no problem with it. He wants Cotto/Alvarez. Until he knows whether he will get to fight the winner of that fight, he doesn't want to move up. There's nothing wrong with that. But his trainer and promoter have been talking absolute nonsense. They've been saying the same kind of **** that Golovkin fans rip other fighters to shreds over, yet they buy into it like little girls buy Justin Bieber. None of them are consistent. They feed into whatever ****** excuse Team Golovkin makes each day, no matter how hypocritical. They use Sergey Kovalev as a shield, and then try to talk all this crap about Golovkin being better than Kovalev. They all hated finances and PPV sales until Golovkin started talking about it.

                      It's pathetic. And it's the reason fighters can duck the Golovkins of the boxing world, because of what Golovkin is doing now that he's in a position to make demands. He has no right to talk about fighters making "business decisions" now that he's so fond of them himself.

                      Wall of text, sheesh.

                      Also, nothing to criticize? How about the fact he wants some of the PPV cut for fighting on an undercard? How about him denying opponents and wanting to fight bums instead, as usual? How about him sending an offer to Golovkins team straight after he's announced he's facing David? How about giving no concessions and expecting a 50/50 despite doing nothing of note for 3 years and never headlining a PPV.

                      Yeah, nothing to complain about.
