172 is lightheavy weight are you ******ed.....what weight does 172 fall into. Is it 168 to 175 which is the light heavy division or is it 160-168 which is supermiddle weight division...if ward weighed 172 and the light heavyweight division starts at 168 then he boxed at light heavy weight against smith...are you that ******ed or maybe your no good at maths...as for box recs. .i don't need box recs unlike you

Good luck explaining to this fuckwit how weight divisions in boxing work!

He said it doe.

And if a boxer or any of his team say something, they gotta back it up yeah?

Otherwise, they cowards bums and ducks yeah?

That's fine if that's the logic u wanna run with , but if that's the case , why u don't take GGG to task for rotating a gambit of excuses to avoid Ward after proclaiming "Anyone from 154-168" ? Rather , u justify it for GGG ??? Please Advise !

He said it was ridiculous, and he explained why.

The fact that 3 divisions separate Ward and Mayweather, makes this very silly.

What's 153???

[stuff jones]

But you demanded Ward fight you at 164? just stop talking

You're not too smart are you?

Actually, I've been saying for quite awhile now that GGG is the best middleweight on the planet. Which is the main reason why IMO this entire unification crusade is complete and utter bull****. Fighting C class paper beltholders and 155lb pretenders, as you call them, is completely pointless when your supremacy in the division is already unquestioned. Especially when there's a guy a division north, a division you've expressed a willingness to fight is, is there, willing, and able to make you a true, bonafide P4P elite. I have no issues calling GGG the best middleweight on the planet. But to be an elite, you have to beat an elite. So let's see the superfight instead of wasting time fighting bums like Lemieux, Lee, and 155lb pretenders, as you called them? Your turn.

Yeah but a champion wants all the belts and he wants to beat the best at his weight....and there's still canelo or cotto who are big fights..I don't golovkin that would be afraid from a ward or even kovalev to be honest...I don't see any issue with golovkin wanting all the belts at middleweight...marvin hagler stayed at middleweight his whole career and always called up the smaller guys to face him....the man is just starting to take over the middleweight division and it's not done until he has all the belts.....u should understand that...as for ward...he brings nothing to the table not a light heavyweight title....he boxed 1 time in 3 years and has no market value at the moment.....if ward has a belt and golovkn has the undisputed title then he will move up......but ward is 13 pounds bigger than him naturally and if you know anything about boxing that's a big weight advantage..in fact it's unfair.....kovalev is 174 ward is 172...ward is 6ft 1 and kovalev is 6ft......even matchup we have right there

No, it doesn't...... learn the sport.

To be a LHW you would need to do 2 things.....

1) undertake a training camp where you can prepare to fight at 175, against an opponent who will be doing the same
2) actually fight a LHW

Ward has never done any of those things.

In the Smith fight Ward was coming DOWN to fight a SMW.

He did NOT even prepare to be the best 172lb'er on the planet, because the camp was designed to bring him DOWN in weight, not up..... the goal was to eventually get to 168, which would require a completely different approach.

You need to understand about weight and preparation.

That is like calling Canelo a middleweight because he chooses to fight JMW's at 155 out of entitlement.

Choosing to fight a JMW at 155 simply because it suits him does not make Canelo a middleweight..... it makes him unprofessional.

What's 153???

In a middleweight title fight, 153 is middleweight.

In a middleweight title fight, 160 and anything under 160 is middleweight.

Golovkin and Co. made themselves look soft with that one. Now they're gonna cry when Cotto demands one but demanded a cw for Ward only and not Jr or Froch.

There is nothing to cry about. GGG is on a mission to become the Unified, Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the World. He wants the WBC Belt more than he wants Cotto or Canelo. If he was desperate for a payday or if the circumstance was the exact same as his quest to fight Froch/Chavez (pure money fights) he'd gladly come down a few pounds. But as it stands, he is a middleweight, Cotto/Canelo will hold a Middleweight title, and he will not accommodate either one with a catchweight agreement just so he gets paid.

Because, a fighter who weighs 141 is a welter, right ?
