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

[Shadoww702]

Just give over - you and maybe one other poster on here are trying to claim Brand is any good. Last time this shit started to happen with a prolific poster other posters came on board telling him he was getting owned - he ran away whining.

I know about $60 adverts dimwit - but why are you even mentioning them? - in your own warped mind it makes sense to crap on about them - just carry on - why not clutter up these boards even more with your self righteous verbage?

better still, convince the other Ward fans on here that Brand is some great foe for Ward.

Then you god DAMN HYPOCRITE quite acting like GGG went through MURDER's ROW of boxers! That SCRUB = 88% better than ALL the OTHER SCRUB cans GGG fought! Are you that ******.

You are grasping at straws. Ward started his career at 160. Spent a short time there, only 5 fights at the 160 lb. limit, as he was dropped by Boone and hurt by Kolle in his short stay.

He moved up to 168 and proceeded to clean out the division. Won the Super 6 by defeating Kessler, Abraham, and Froch along the way. Knocked out the lineal LHW champ at the 168 lb. limit after the tournament as well. In his stay at 168, he won the WBA, WBC, RING, TBRB, and Lineal championships.

He then sat on the shelf for almost two years due to promotional issues. Came back as a LHW. His first two fights ended up being tune-ups (Smith, Brand), but he has signed a contract to fight Kovalev by the end of next year. So in 2016, Ward's top 5 scalps will be Kessler, Abraham, Froch, Dawson, and Kovalev. He will have added the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles at LHW to his trophy case that already includes his SMW conquests.

Yet you still denigrate this man? While propping up a coward that is begging for fights against retired WWs and blown-up JMWs? You are a sad man with very little cognitive ability. I am dumber for having engaged in this tit-for-tat with you. Goodbye.

Haha, alright. You keep fighting the good fight. Hope you get good benefits in the Ward camp.

Actually what you've said serves my point well , which is : PPV's are all about viable matchups of two formidable fighters. GGG trying to fool boxing consumers into believing him and Pepe Lemu was viable , but no one was fooled , hence 97k buys , the people have spoken .

No they're not, dumb****. Ppvs are about Ppv stars. If you got a ppv star, it likely sells well. If you got 2, it does great. If you got zero, it doesn't pay for itself

The criticism of Golovkin only started after he and his camp turned to sniveling *****es once Andre Ward expressed interest in taking them up on their "fight anyone 154-168" bull****.

Ambition is healthy; every young fighter worth anything has ambitions of moving up 2-3 weight classes and competing one day. When that opportunity comes though, and you turn *****, the public will roast you for your cowardice.

David Lemieaux is a bum fighter who's looked ordinary or like **** whenever he's stepped beyond that C-level of fighters; Paul Smith would walk into a fight with Golovkin, even after the Andre Ward performance, as the most accomplished fighter Golovkin has ever stepped into the ring with as a professional.

it's not even close.

I'm sure you'd sign that "deal" Ward sent because you're an idiot

[Scipio2009]

With the amount of threads about GGG you'd think a thread about Ward would be...about Ward...hmm. The article didn't use GGG as click bait, Ward's team has clearly moved on towards Kovalev, maybe it's time for GGG fans to channel their animosity somewhere else?

It's finally started to sink in, to Golovkin fans, that Canelo is more than happy to go back to 154, with Cotto likely to do the same, and Golovkin is likely to be left with absolute junk fights as he gets handed his third world championship.

They see that Andre Ward has moved on and that the only fights actually available to Golovkin are fights with Tureano Johnson and Jorge Sebastian Heiland and are now acting out (Eubank Jr is being actively steered towards Jacobs-Lee winner, with Lee-Saunders winner likely also going along that path).

pretty hilarious to watch.

Better yet, I was just trying to get the BEST 401K EVER by betting $$$$$$ on Ward over GGG! So YES!! I'm pissed your boy ran. I really believe GGG = Broner but way SMARTER and never moved up from 130. I do know Ward would beat GGG. A Great Boxer will ALWAYS beat a great puncher. How MANY F'n reruns do you need to see before you wise up???

GGG = Prov if GGG wasn't in such a SHTY division he would of been exposed
MAtty / Postal
Matty / Garcia
Floyd / Pac
Rig. / Donaire

Look, stop stretching. Tell me what is accomplished about Paul Smith's record? He gut UD'd twice by a faded Arthur Abraham in fights he should never have got and KO'd by groves in the 2nd round.
Lemieux meanwhile knocked down N'Dam 4 times
Nobody who is unbiased on here claims Golovkin's resume is the best but Geale Murray and Lemieux are a level above Smith; they gained titles or in Murray's case should have gained titles whereas Smith always fell way short.

The winner of that WBC MIDDLEWEIGHT title not fighting the mandatory next(GGG) and vacating the title is a clear duck.
You will be on here celebrating it like you won something though because you're an idiot.

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.



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



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.




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.

Ward was 168 lb WBA champ,at the time what are you talking about ?

Froch and Ward competed in a SMW fight Froch at 167 1/2 Ward 168

How much did GGG just rehydrate to against Lemuiex ?

The excuse need to stop fo,this guy ..


Who's record is 33-0 yet not one elite name on it but you want to criticize Ward for taking tune ups before facing the man at Lhw ? Last I checked Ward is moving up when will GGG?

[SteveM]

Then you god DAMN HYPOCRITE quite acting like GGG went through MURDER's ROW of boxers! That SCRUB = 88% better than ALL the OTHER SCRUB cans GGG fought! Are you that ******.

Calm down fuck-wit you are starting to look un-necessarily ******. I have never claimed that GGG went through a murderer's row of opponents. Do your research before melting your keyboard.
