Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Ward Looking Less and Less Likely

[Bigg Rigg]

Team GGG needs to stfu when it comes to Ward!! They already made themselves look like b1tches with the cw bs for Ward only. Kovalev is going to eventually take care of Ward for him so just drop it.

[MDPopescu]

Here in lies the problem, gggs most ardent fan doesn't have any interest in seeing ggg fight quality opposition. He is completely satisfied watching ggg beat the crap out of no hopers and little guys. This is probably a good thing as it appears that's all ggg is ever going to fight anyway. 33 yrs old and not one quality opponent yet and no concrete plans to fight one.

As of lately, Golovkin is fighting belt holders at 160 (Lemieux, Cotto-Canelo). Are they smaller or no hopers? OK, maybe they are... all of them, right?
So: Golovkin should he leave his division and such fights?
And ask for 3 more tune-ups until the end of 2016?
Pathetic...

rhinoceros sh it. ward has never sent them a offer. the only thing was said that little would fight for 50-50 and that ward had to come down to 164 but they would fight froch and chavez jr at 168. they are clearly ducking ward. they rather fight the little guys

[brettWall]

That's what I said , until GGG hit the scene , now its no one EXCEPT GGG . its OK to lie to me , that's fine as I get lied to all day on this site , I'm use to it . But I can only pray your not lying to yourself by actually telling yourself that Ward isblowing smoke and avoiding this guy ???

If this is the case , that level of psychosis will require years of therapy to undo .

Ward is not interested. That's the bottom line. Maybe he regards GGG as a friend or a little brother or something, similar to Lara not wanting Charlo, but that doesn't mean he's ducking.

Ward is of course aware that there's this disgruntled group of GGG haters that took it upon themselves in assuming he wants the fight. So now Ward is forced to lie and pretend that he does want GGG.

Lesson to be learned here is check with the boxer first before making these ****** assumptions. You can't just throw a guy into a fight he's reluctant to make.

Hope that helps.

The reason he was thinking about moving up for a big fight was because Sergio wouldn't fight him and there were no big names at 160. Ward would of been in the mix the moment his promotional situation was resolved. But the dynamic at 160 has since changed with big name fighters Cotto/Canelo now fighting at middleweight. GGG now has no reason to move up until he forces one or both those guys to fight him. Sucks for Ward because he has no leverage. GGG is in a much better situation then him and has no reason to move he's got a HBO contract his fights are pulling good ratings, he's now headlining his own PPV and he's got 2 big names that he is front of the line to face at middleweight in Cotto/Canelo. Ward just fought on BET for god sake after a long layoff, has never had his own PPV and has no big fights at 168.

Ward signed with Roc Nation in what Jan/Dec and that signing was supposed to get him fighting regularly and in relevant fights yet here we are in Oct and he has only fought once against a bum on BET in a fight that hardly anyone watched. He has no fights lined up to close the year either because a combination of nobody will fight him and Roc Nation is just inept at promoting and can't find him TV dates and fights. To the point where he might have to agree to fight Kovalev just to get on the undercard of a HBO PPV.

Great post:

The level of competition Ward is facing, he should have had 2-3 fights this year. At least THEN he would be getting more known and drumming up interest for a fight with GGG, instead of going on 'The View' talking to a bunch of broads who don't follow boxing....in the meantime, GGG is trying his best to stay busy. That Lou Dibella meme about it being ****** to make a fight just because 200 nerds on a boxing forum comes to mind.

[aboutfkntime]

Because Froch and Chavez Jr had many fans back then. They were fighting for 6 zero purses and GGG was still fighting for $300k.

You don't ask for catchweights when you the B side, chasing fights with A side "names" like Froch and Chavez.

But you can when you are the A-side like Cotto, and you are fighting the B-side like Golovkin..... just like Golovkin did to Ward, right?

Take your time..... I will wait for you to dig out your other set of convenient revolving double-standards, before you reply.

[aboutfkntime]

Media people can't stop asking about Ward. Yet they won't ask Ward if he really wants the fight. They just assume he wants it.

Truth is, the media people can influence the making of fights.

1. Ask Ward directly.
2. Interrogate him what he's been doing to make the fight happen.
3. Verify his sources, the people he talked to, etc.
4.
5.

etc., etc.,

They just keep asking the same questions over and over again as if they'll get a different answer each time.

Surely you jest ?

Ward to Golovkin: Stop hiding and fight me. Let’s make it happen!

" Andre Ward is available and we can make it happen. They want Golovkin to smile and wave and be the pretty boy, and the promoters do the tough talk. If I respond, I’m the villain. If Triple G wants to fight, come from behind the promoter, come from behind the trainer, tell them to call HBO. I’ve already done this before the show because I knew you guys were going to ask me this. Let’s make it happen! "

" Ward doesn't really want it "..... is the 11th and worst excuse.

[aboutfkntime]

I do not see anything particularly noteworthy in beating a semi retired fighter who has fought three times in the last four years. If Ward starts fighting again at a pace of at least three fights per year against quality opposition and is able to unify the titles at SMW, then it would be a fight with some importance.

At this particular point in time, Ward is just another fighter who has a couple of decent wins FOUR YEARS AGO on his record.

What, Ward is a shht opponent now ?

Oh Lordie

Excuse #12 is a fkn doozy

[aboutfkntime]

The only people who are talking **** about Golovkin are Ward fans & Golovkin haters. Ward has been and continues to be virtually inactive for so long, we need to see a vid from 3 years ago to see him @ his best. Add to that the fact that he signed with Jay-Z, and one has to ask, where is Ward's career going? Surely, Golovkin isn't the only potential opponent for him. Get off the GGG hate train fellas, & start asking Ward when he's going to really get back in the game.

He fought in June.

He will make 168 for Golovin.

" Ward is a shht fighter "..... is a shameful excuse, the very worst.

[aboutfkntime]

NOTHING that he wants? Are you saying ggg doesn't want to fight top shelf opposition?
