    GGG hasnt fought anybody and if cotto beats him at this stage that nobody will give him any credit for the win. **** remember when bradley and alexander fought when Devon had all that hype. It was the fight that need to be made at the time and now nobody rate Devon highly. Same thing with Arthur Abraham hype before the super 6. **** bute was severely hype and people felt he didn't need to prove himself in the super 6 . Then he fought froch.

    Basically we need to stop crowning guys who hasn't fought anybody a p4p top 5.

      Who would be surprised if Ward priced himself out f that fight.

      I'm mean as you can tell, he is getting ready for Kovalev, but dragging trash up to LHW.

      But really doe!
      Whether it ends or not, Ward continues to test himself. You said his resume isn't that great. It's only safe to assume you think Golovkin's resume is wipe-my-wet-ass material, correct?

        So you agree he should fight someone in the top 20 at light heavy weight, specially if Kovalev is the main target.

          Oh for sure. I'm pretty sure he's not going to fight four jokers then step in with Kovalev. After November he'll fight a fringe guy or even a contender. Then his next fight will be the step-up showcase that leads to Kovalev.

            60,000 though!

            Come on, you make excuses once I proved you wrong. Just stop it.

            That's what everyone thought after he fought Smith.

            If only Boxing worked so smoothly.

            GGG is getting some credit because the best in the division are shutting him out.

            Most GGG haters want him not to get big fights so they can scream resume, resume.

            GGG has destroyed everyone in front of him.

            MW like Canelo (Rehydrates higher than GGG), Quillin, And MW champ Cotto have attempted to hold GGG back, so no one demands the fight.

            The only guy anyone thinks can rely beat him is a LHW who hasn't fought at SMW since November of 2013.

            Who in the 154-168 can beat GGG?

            I can't think of one person.

            Really, test himself, by dragging up consecutive SMW to fight at 175.

            Smith was bad enough, but Brand, ****ing pathetic.

            That's testing him self.

            What a brave P4P champ.

            GGG is fighting top 10, top 5 in his division.

            He is unifying the belts.

            He has had to take the hard road to force names to even consider him.

            But Ward really wanted to fight GGG, but in 18 months.

            Here GGG, sign this contract now, and I'll fight you in 18 months.

            A joke of a email, and Ward supporters swallowed it whole.

              Well, that means GGG's is comparable to the crust in your eye when you wake up.

              ****ed up, aint it?

                I'm a fan of Cotto but this is such a wimp move. If you beat Canelo and don't fight GGG then your story will not be written. Your story will be abruptly cut off in the middle of your novel. Move down to Junior Middleweight if you can't fight a real middleweight FFS. Cotto and Canelo are the new catchweight queens. I can't believe I'm talking about Cotto this way.

                Cotto says he worked so hard to get to where he is.....I've heard other fighters say the same thing. Do they think other top fighters don't train and struggle like they do? These boxers must feel pretty self important thinking that they're the only ones that put in the hard work. Most fighters will never be fortunate enough to get to their financial level. They should respect the sport and be grateful for what they have instead of taking the easy out and hording the belts.

                  60k for a Top Rank Closed Circuit PPV that was distributed mainly in Puerto Rico by Direct TV ONLY was a huge success. It was a clear indication that Cotto was a PPV draw. Now, Compare that to an HBO PPV distributed WORLDWIDE with Chocolatito on the undercard. Doing 97k PPV!!! It is a clear indication that GGG IS NOT THERE YET!!!!

                  GGG good boy tho!!

                    You think Ward taking a third crap fight then Kovalev.

                    Ward signed 3 fight deal, it he doesn't take on a decent fighter afte November, then he is supposed to be in ring with Kovalev after that.

                    Maybe that's his plan, to tune up until HBO contact expires.

                    Ward has a decent Resume, but it doesn't tower over GGG.

                    He was gifted Super Six.

                    GGG has to corner good fighter to get in the ring with him.

                    Ward turned HBO down the first time, then balked at GGG 50/50 offer.

                    Ward waited until GGG finally cornered Canelo and Cotto, and had the Lemieux fight, then Ward wants to get GGG to sign a contract 18 months in advance.

                    And anyone is taking that serious.

                    Like I said, everyone says they want to fight GGG, just not yet.

                      Save the blah blah.

                      List all these good fighters GGG has fought. Then lists Ward's. Go.
