where's your verifying proof of this?
the only fight night weight i can find from ward fights is the dawson fight, where he was 176. that fight was a long itme ago, but ti'st he only piece of data i can find, and certainly has more meaning than a bunch of biased bsceners acting liek andre ward will be 190 lbs in the ring.
for instance, chavez JR is without a doubt a naturally larger man than ward. bigger on fight night, bigger walking around, has a documented instance where he took drugs to make weight.Comment

Is there some mythical P4P title belt that I don't know about? Never in the history of boxing did anyone make fights based on P4P standings. P4P was always used as a way to theoretically figure out who the best fighter would be if they all fought at the same weight. Not to have P4P ranked fighters fight each other.
People around here seem to have no idea what the basis for P4P rankings really is. Very sad to see. Not surprising, though. Boxing fans really are not that bright on average.Comment

Ward is actually fighting. Supposed to fight on the Cotto undercard, is in talks to fight Kovalev(you know, actually take on good fighters).
You act as if Ward isn't a PROVEN fighter Serious question: Do you REALLY believe a Ward win would do nothing for GGG's resume or career?

no, Ward fans like to take things out of their proper timeline, and reframe them to favor their guy. Here is the REAL story..........
For over 2 years, GGG could not land meaningful fights at middleweight, so they were willing to go outside the division. (Chavez, Froch)
During that time, Ward was injured, or in court, Either way, he wasnt fighting.
Ward then settles his legal issues and signs with Roc Nation. David Iskowitz then publicly says they are interested in GGG but Ward needs a few tuneups.
GGG then gets the Lemieux unification signed, and is the mando for Cotto-Canelo winner. These are the middleweight unifications he has been trying to get for years.
Then NOW here comes Ward, after doing garbage ratings against a dummy on BET, rattling his tin cup saying I'll fight GGG sometime next year at 50-50 split.
Now who in their right mind would consider an absurd offer like that? Sure, we will skip the Cotto-Canelo winner, skip making north of $5 million and becoming lineal middleweight champ, so we can split 50-50 with a guy who has to give tickets away so the arena doesnt look empty.
GTFOH with that nonsense man.......Last edited by OnePunch; 10-18-2015, 02:49 PM.Comment

I didn't know that being 'supposed to fight' and 'in talks to fight' qualified as 'actually fighting'. Maybe we should also consider his battle in court to be 'actually fighting' as well?Ward is actually fighting.

Let me know when he gets back in the ring against a live body, not a Paul Smith.
Is Ward a PROVEN FIGHTER? Well... four years ago he was well on his way to becoming one but it seems he got sidetracked along the way and forgot to continue his boxing career.
An no, I do not think a Ward fight does anything at all for Golovkin until he has completed his job at middleweight and decides to move to SMW permanently. At that time, yes it will mean something as he will be fighting other super middleweight fighters for their titles as well.
But a non title fight against Ward while Golovkin is still fighting for MW titles does nothing to advance his goals at all. As for his resume, that is something to consider when his career is over, not in the middle of it.Comment
