Comments Thread For: Roc Nation: GGG's Team Turned Down Ward in 36 Minutes

[bigjavi973]

I thought Cotto should have fought Rubio, even though it was a fight I was not excited about in any way. Right or wrong, the mando deserves his shot at the title. Fight the mando if its due, or vacate. (or make a step aside deal if theres a much bigger / better fight available)

None of that has anything to do with Ward. A GGG-Ward fight might have made sense when GGG couldnt get any unification fights at 160, but unfortunately at THAT time it was Ward who wasnt interested. Now the circumstances have changed, and GGG has his unification fights lined up, and Ward just isnt of interest to them.

Timing is everything

this is true here.

This was the worst ether in the history of mankind. Gennady Golovkin has been exposed as a b*tch, a coward, a manufactured hypejob, and a scared pathetic little girl all in one article.

Andre Ward has single handedly ruined Golovkin's career. This has been the funniest sequence of events I have ever witnessed in boxing history. Gennady Golovkin needs an exorcist to survive this beheading.

Assuming much aren't you there?

I'm just not a Gullible Gennady Groupie.

All you guys are a bunch of hypocrites.

When Cotto was saying that who's ggg etc. Ya were PISSED at that notion (this was before he won the fight vs rubio) that Cotto was saying that ggg isn't a draw & doesn't bring money.

but now lil' g is using the high risk/low reward scenarios & ya are ok with that.

ya were always clamoring about how ggg would fight ANYONE from 154-168 lbs because fighters were "ducking" ggg & it has been difficult getting him fights.

Fights Rosado, a 154 lbr, at 160, calls it a title defense & ya praise him.

But if it's a Lara fight... nothing, nada, zip, zilch, *crickets.

"but lara has to prove himself at 160"

Monroe is more know than lara. Don't forget that.

I think the word you were looking for is "y'all"

liljavi is so damn annoying. Learn how to multi quote people bro. You spam like a motherfcker. I'm trying to read the comments and 80% of them are you on one page FFS.

Lol "if it made sense" a fight with Andre Ward doesn't make sense??? And how can u even say that last part bro??? That actually makes no sense when u think about it.

If you actually used your brain you would understand that it makes sense. Why would they give Ward all the advantages? after all it wouldn't be a world title fight so what's the problem with doing it at a catch weight?

[_Maxi]

Isn't that what chasing greatness is about, overcoming disadvantages? And GGG facing fighters who are disadvantaged (clearly ****ty like all his opposition so far, or coming up from a smaller weight) isn't him having all the advantages? This is exactly the type of hypocrisy I was referring to.

Ultimately, GGG had a chance to solidify a position as p4p #1, and chose to go the easy route instead. I'm also fairly certain I've seen you criticise an ATG fighter in Floyd for far less offences.

Yeah, then make Ward overcome disadvantage and come down to 164.

Mayweather is considered "great" by some. Tell me which disadvantage did he overcome? he even chooses the gloves that the opponent has to use.

Looooooool. He hasn't fought in 5 different weight divisions? According to you, one weight division is a major disadvantage, so going by your logic, 4 jumps has to mean an awful lot to you right? Yet somehow it doesn't. Hmmmm....I wonder why.

not after 3 tune ups

2 maximum

He has already fought one tune up at LHW so that leaves him one more.

wow, we actually agree on something?

I'll alert the media
