Comments Thread For: GGG's Coach Explains Why Andre Ward is Not Relevant

[SchoolTheseCats]

I hear you but my post was pretty much sarcasm since the people here instead of hating loeffler and sanchez go overboard hating Golovkin. I have yet to see the guy talk any level of shhh. I can understand if he himself was the one saying things but man...this guilty by association business on this site is just ******.

Maybe you should watch interview of when little g was on sportsnation and kellerman asked him about fighting ward 50-50 everything ward haven't fought in long time same crap loeffler and the old Hispanic guy is saying so yea they speaking for how Golovkin feel because he said it out his own mouth

[Youlldunnoish]

Bunch of bs. If you are good then you are good jus ask lomachenko and rigo, they have few fights but they are champions.

Harcore fans no. Most casuals either forgot or didnt really know who Ward is. The guy cant sell out his own home town for christ sakes. That should tell you something about the interest to see him.

Yes he's a great talent. Probably top 3 pfp right now. Still doesnt change the fact that there's little demand for him at the moment outside of hardcore fans. A few exciting wins against some familiar opponents can change that.

Again, that's not true. The only fights bigger for Golovkin would be Cotto and Alvarez, and that has nothing to do with Golovkin but the huge fanbases those two have. That's why Golovkin's people are always asked about Ward, because people want to see it.

Ward is relevant and much more known than given credit for.

Just create a Ward thread and see.

Create a Ward/GGG thread and you all will see its the biggest fight that can be made right now

And yet you are asked about Ward everywhere you go from fans and media alike. But Ward isn't relevant doe

So in your opinion as a boxing fan, forgetting all others' opinions, coaches, trainers, promoters, fans, do you personally think the playing field is level in the #2 P4P's division? Show me exactly why this is a 50/50 fight where one fighter referred to as hype job is moving up while the other don't. Where is the advantage in the smaller guy?

[Nay_Sayer]

Ward is more relevant than Lemieux will ever be.

The matchup itself is intriguing. It has nothing to do with Ward's stand alone drawing power.

GGG a Kazakh is fighting a Canadian in NYC and sold out MSG. Ward cant sell out a small arena in his own home town.

Relevant amongst us diehard fans YES. He's not relevant as far as the networks are concerned or else HBO would have gave him his dates rather than turn him and his choice of opponents down.

Ward in my opinion is top 3pfp at the moment but he's not a box office draw, nor a fan favorite. When people criticize his relevancy or lack there of, they're referring to him being relevant as far as star power. In that aspect he's not. He lacks personality and an exciting style.

The lineal 168 pound undefeated champion isnt a relevant fight for a middleweight with an ABC title defended against B-C level opponents who would fight two lesser fighters in Chavez and Froch at 168.

**** off GGG
