A question for Andre Ward fans

[Real King Kong]

dawson asked to go down in weight bro ward didn't refuse anything

Well technically he did...but the contract was already signed. That was on dawson tho.

i'd think it was a tactic to get ward into the ring looking like a dead man.


look at how ward's people talk about andre ward. you don't crap on a fight you are willing to take. t hey're crapping on the fight.

it is what it is. golovkin's top earning opponents are small middleweights moving up. they're mexican and puerto rican respectively. the fight owuld be huge in LA / vegas if canelo wins, or huge in new york if cotto wins. not sure if they'll take the fight, but that's the pot of gold at the ned of the rainbow if you're gennady golovkin.

i'd avoid 168 lbs, too.

What would ward fans think if ggg agreed to fight ward but insisted he come down to 160?

cue New England ******ity...

[boliodogs]

I'm not a Ward fan but Ward coming down to 160 is just as unfair as GGG going up to 168. A weight of 164 is right in the middle and would be fair unless Ward just can't make 164 without hurting himself. If that's the case then both boxers should go their separate ways and fight in their own weight classes.

Ward can't make 168 and you want he go down to 160?

[Joe Beamish]

I don't get the whole Ward/GGG thing.

Could Ward beat Mayweather? It's the same kind of question.

I like to see guys fight who are the same size. I think Ward/Kovalev is a good matchup, with Ward being slightly the taller guy at 6'1". But they are about the same size.

Golovkin is 5'10". He's a true MW. His goal is to unify the MW division. He's doing a great job.

(If Klitschko could make 160....)

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Any real boxing fans would rightfully recognise it as a complete b1tch move.

Given his hyped up reputation, even the 164 request makes Golovkin look like an absolute puussy.

I love Golovkin, but Ward beats him all day at any weight.

Must be why he turned him down at 164.

BINGO......a poster with common sense.

dawson asked to go down in weight bro ward didn't refuse anything

No, he made the comment that he would move down in weight but during negotiations he asked for a compromise and just like the GGG thing, he refused.
