Comments Thread For: Golovkin At Top Of His Game: I Feel Like I'm 20 Years Old

[MDPopescu]

GGG said he would face any of the top guys from 154-168 during Ward's hiatus. Their was a whole lot of rubbish spoken by Abel especially during the period Ward was out of the ring, as soon as Ward spoke on the subject telling them to stop using his name Unless they genuinely wanted him you heard zip from Abel or Gennady himself, he was a goodboy after that.

... "Ward hiatus"? You sound like Ward is "active" these days. He is not. Who was or is he fighting?

[MDPopescu]

Stop it Pop , u know Ward/GGG is the biggest fight in boxing right now . It's also the biggest money fight for GGG , especially considering Cotto/Canelo seem reluctant to fight him .

The Cotto-Canelo winner is forced to fight Golovkin and this will be, by far, the biggest money fight to come.

Ward, in case he intends to "come back" eventually", has a number of big money fights if he faces Kovalev, Pascal or even Beterbiev. In Ward's place I would take Pascal first.

Incorrect. Golovkin has said multiple times that Ward rejected fights with him even though HBO warned him they need a long time to market their fight (same as current Ward vs Kovalev) is slated for late 2016. Since then, Golovkin has told Ward to stop using his name for promotional purposes.

By the way, the 154-168 comment was made more than 3 years ago when he was an absolute unknown and would fight anyone with a half decent name. Situation in 2015 is vastly different than 2012. GGG's team have said that they would fight Froch in England because he sold out a 80k stadium. Ward barely sold small arena with the fight broadcast on BET.

If he's the man , please tell me exactly who he beat to become the man ????

Well, Sergio and GGG never fought, but the general consensus was that GGG would have kicked his butt, regardless whether Sergio had a better resume. So GGG was considered a p4p better fighter than Sergio, that is how GGG was the man. Its not always about resume, especially when you are beating common opponents better, ie GGG kicked Murrays butt real bad, whilst Murray made Sergio look average.

So it suprises me Floyd was considered no1 p4p when Pac was obviously beating better quality opponents. Pac was beating better opponents than Floyd, yet Floyd was favoured to beat Pac. Just like Sergio beat better opponents than GGG, but GGG was favoured to beat Sergio.

Abel Clearly state what I've been saying, they gave Ward multiple chance

But Ward turned them down. And even when he made an offer it was for 18 months away.

CoWard things he is slick.

Andre Ward's a liar. When he sent that email, it was after the Lemieux fight had already signed," he said. "So he's a liar. Secondly, we've been trying to get Andre Ward to come to some kind of agreement for the last couple years. First, he was in trouble with Goossen, they were suing each other, and Goossen beat him three times.

"Then he signed with Roc Nation. Go back and look at the transcripts, the first thing Roc Nation said was he needs two tune-up fights. Then he fights one at 172. We as Golovkin's team cannot sit around waiting for Andre Ward to make up his mind what he wants to do."

They arnt gonna listen, because they enjoy their lie so damn much.

1) u CAN duck a guy that's NOT in your division when you claim "anyone 154-168" and then say your ready for Floyd at 154 , or Froch and anyone else at 168 but just not Ward . That's a blatant duck sir , whether u like it or not .

2) as far as u GGG fans spewing the same lame mantra that the "Ward offer wasn't real because GGG signed the Lemieux fight already" , let me say this . The Ward/GGG feud goes back WAY before Wards most recent offer . Ward called GGG out in January when he first signed with RocNation (was that after the Lemieux signing as well) ? When Ward called him out in January suggesting that they all have a sit down with the HBO people to iron out fight terms , GGG's people said they had no interest in doing so despite the fact they hadn't even had they're next can signed yet .

3) lastly , I'VE NEVER SAID GGG DUCKED LARA . As a matter of fact , I've often said that its bullsh.t when people state that claim . But if , in your desperation to protect GGG , u gotta throw false words in people's mouths , next time I suggest u do it with someone who can't remember what they say day to day .

First, the Lara comment was part of a response to another poster, although it very well is valid.


And as has been told to you, Ward has had his shot.

You seem to think after GGG lined up big fights, he should still take the Ward fight. ******!

GGG has been mandatory for Cotto for over a year now. That belt and the others has been his focus. Ward, nope. He had a shot to fight his MW, who is roughly same size as Lara.

Why doesn't Lara and Ward yap themselves into a fight together. The runner against the clincher.

You may even see some punches thrown.

so is ok for lil G to do that, but if its cotto or canelo doing it then we start hearing all the crying, oh mandatory!, oh canelo will never take the fight!...
thats the problem that many have with lil G fans, the double standards, lil G hasnt sold a single ppv home yet and they are acting like he is floyd now, but forget what they were claiming before..
canelo took on lara after being part of the most successful ppv in the history of boxing(at the time), but lil G shoudnt take high risk low reward fights, and then some lil G fans have the nerve to call cotto or canelo cowards, that is just laughable...
oh and by the way , ward is no low reward, that puts lil G at the top of the P4P list without a doubt...

How the heck is fighting a guy who is not in your division the same as fighting a mandatory for the lineal belt. How far did you twist to get there. Your back ok.

Cotto/Canelo will be mandatory to the lineal MW Crown.

Let me know when GGG is mandatory to the SMW or LHW crown and he is keeping it from Ward.

Pandora no one says a Ward win wouldn't be meaningful. It just is not a big fight. Surely not as big as what he has in front of him.

HBO has boxed Ward in on a three fight deal that leads to Kolalev, who is much closer to his natural weight. Let's see if CoWard will take a tough fight and build his name up.

GGG will move up, then it makes sense. Dropping the big opportunities in front of him now would be ignorant.

GGG said he would face any of the top guys from 154-168 during Ward's hiatus. Their was a whole lot of rubbish spoken by Abel especially during the period Ward was out of the ring, as soon as Ward spoke on the subject telling them to stop using his name Unless they genuinely wanted him you heard zip from Abel or Gennady himself, he was a goodboy after that.

That's too much for them.

They seem to think that statement means he has to fight anyone of them at their call.

They scream Lara, even though dude yapped his way into a fight he lost. As if he taps his way into another on.

They scream Ward, but deny multiple accounts if Ward turning down GGG before sending a moronic contract for 16 months down the road.

They ignore Ward is fighting another year of tune-ups, as if he is relevant to the conversation.

CoWard has a new nickname. GGG has a Apple ad. Two different paths indeed.
