Comments Thread For: Roc Nation: This is Ward's First Step Toward Kovalev

[_Maxi]

fighters are suppose to go up...not down

Not really. Fighters can fight at any weight as long as they are comfortable with it. Some of them move up not because they can't make weight anymore, but because they have now put on more muscle for power, and go to try a different road on a different division.

GGG could go down to 154 if he wanted to. Pacquiao can go down to 140. Dawson went down to 168 for Ward. Oscar went down to 154 and 147 for Mayweather and Pacquiao.

"Legendary Kostya Tszyu visited Kazakhstan where he remembered his past"

Sergey Kovalev born in Kopeysk...Less than 12 hours away from????

So GGGTards unlike you most of us already saw this stuff years ago!

[SplitSecond]

Wtf did I just read?

"Ward is soo good, so amazing, so brave and honorable and handsome and probably the smartest man ever"

[HeroBando]

He has a SD against WBC Champ Bodou Jack you Fk RTARD!!! And most thought he WON!!! Do yourself a FAVOR and watch a boxer before you open your mouth. Unless you want everyone to treat it like a ****???

And vs prospect Jack he was outdone by Periban and of course journeyman Edwards, KO 1. 38, never fought a top 50 opponent, now coming up in weight

[aboutfkntime]

Sooooo what I'm getting is Rocnation is saying Ward is going to fight Kolavev and Ward signed a contract to fight him down the road with HBO and he's getting criticism for it???? So People where says my how he's ducking Kovalev now he's going too fight him next year and he's getting **** for it by Golovkin die hands..... Wards resume craps on GGG's and is being used as an attack against him. He's fighting a scrub we all get that, it's a second showcase fight but who else could he fight on short notice??

Let's go down the list of Ring Mag

Champ-Stevenson- You already know the answer

#1. Kolavev- Fighting #3.Pascal and its down the road

#2. Hopkins- complicated but not happening

#3. Pascal- see number 1

#4. Braehmer- Fighting #10. Oosthuizen

#5. Alvarez- Fighting #6 Chilemba

#6. Chilemba- see number 5

#7. Fonfara- just fought and Haymon

#8. Beterbiev- Injured

#9. Gonzalez- just lost and might price himself out like before

#10. Oosthuizen- see number 4

#11. Anyone below 10 is just as bad too y'all

So who can he fight. Yea it's a **** fight I'll admit but Ward isn't a coward and isn't calling out divisions and turning tail when the boogeyman comes... Kovalev is Wards boogeyman and it's going to happen. If it doesn't I will eat my wards and admit I'm wrong and take all criticism but until then.... Ward is fighting Kovalev in 2016 and GGG( a fighter I really do like) Pussed out and ducked Ward with that 164 **** tell your trainer and promoter not to write checks your ass can't cash.

They know all that

dey be shook

[aboutfkntime]

Ward trying to fight Kovalev, while Golovkin is busy calling out jmw's.

Brand is a quality fighter, just 1 close loss against champion Badou Jack, he'd be a top 3 win on Golovkin's resume easily and Ward is fighting him for a tuneup. People are acting like this guy lost to Rubio and Alcine or some shyt smh...

[i'm a fun haver]

Even now, after months of negotiation, the best thing David Iskowitch can say is that Roc are "hopeful" that Ward will fight Kovalev.

And as usual, not one word from Andre himself to indicate that he wants it to happen.

What are you talking about, bro?
When Andre Ward signs a contract it is good as gold lol

[i'm a fun haver]

wards gonna lose

you dont go into a fight with kova by fighting low ranked guys

Kovalev is going to take him apart.
Wouldn't matter if Ward was fighting top 10 LHWs at 175lbs.

Kovalev has 12 rounds to land what he needs to land on Ward's chin.
IF the fight happens in the next year/18 months

[QUOTE=Shadoww702;16180230]

By the time Ward fights Crusher, if he does, it will have been 5 years since that last decent opponent.

And it been OVER 11 years since GGG fought a decent opponent...

-Summer of 2004-

Olympic MW weight class is 165lbs

GGG 23 score
Andre Dirrell 18 score

VERY close. But Dirrell beat him a few months before... 1-1

This is a silly comment.

And GGG would still be favored over Dirrell. A lot has happened since then, mainly a new coach that has turned GGG into the monster we see today.

And It would of been GGG's best opponent of his career, while GGG might not be Wards best.

164 and another one for less money. GGG did 150k( I've heard 97k but idk) if he fights Ward he does more and Ward Knows that . Why make less when you have Jay Z Helping promote. Also he moved on to Lemieux because his on the Unification tip now( which I love actually) and doesn't want him because his card got pulled.

A year and a half that seems long. I doubt that it's that long Ward likes this promoter.

If Ward fights Crusher second half of 2016, he will have had a year and a half of tune ups.

I'm glad you will admit what most Floyd haters/ggg or pac won't. It helps me to categorize you. But if you believe the bolded, I believe you're sadly mistaken. He wouldn't have called out Floy, Chavez or Froch if building his name off belts was all that mattered. He wants what everyone else does, money. And his only route to it is big name fighters.

And caneloweight (155) is BS, but he won't fight mw. ggg wants him to, but has no leverage besides a meaningless belt.

Those belts are not meaningless. De La Hoya the other day claimed Canelo only came after Cotto for that belt.

Now Canelo says Cotto wanted it on the line.

If the belt is meaningless to Canelo, then no way he fights GGG. Because he will lose, and bad.

Canelo was clearly heavier than Floyd. Canelo will not fight anyone bigger than him, or in GGG case, stronger. Canelo actually Rehydrates bigger than GGG.

And what's GGG done that's so impressive beating can after can ?Or Asking for a catch weight for Ward but not Froch or Chavez Jr ? Yeah that's more impressive ..

Froch is not a LHW. Ward is.

Chavez may be, but GGG wouldn't need one.

Ward would come in a clear 15-20 pounds on GGG. Meeting at 164 made sense. But Ward couldn't do it, he couldn't even make 168.

GGG is a Small MW, and he was willing to meet a LHW Ward at 164.

Ward wouldn't give that to Dawson, and Dawson claimed they asked for one.

GGG said he'd come down for Floyd too.

He just won't come down for a guy who Rehydrates heavier than him.

If GGG acted like Ward, he would tell Ward to come to 160.

But he didn't, he said 50/50, which was generous.

[aboutfkntime]

Right. I hope it happens.

I don't even hate Ward, I think he is a diva.

But all this crap his fans give GGG, they deserve this.



I meant, that he is doing what they've been saying GGG is doing.

Stepped up to what. Dragging Unranked SMW up to LHW.

Impressive.

Watch what happens when I change the name in your post.....

Right. I hope it happens.

I don't even hate Golovkin, I think he is a diva.

But all this crap his fans give Ward, they deserve this.



I meant, that he is doing what they've been saying GGG is doing.

Stepped up to what. Dragging JMW up to MW.

UnImpressive.

The very epitome of a casual fan.
