    Correct. Both fighters (and in Golovkin's case, his trainer) have said some things that (at least in retrospect) probably don't reflect a serious offer.

    They're all in different divisions for now.

    Just a reminder.
    I'm aware. No use in Ward sticking around to face someone who has no interest in seeing him. Glad Ward is seeking bigger challenges.

      I'm pretty sure GGG's team don't want to risk anything fighting Ward. That said it's hard to take Ward seriously when he keeps fighting bums. He will have fought four bums in a row before getting in the ring with Kovalev(if he does). Not just ordinary bums, he wanted a guy that even the commission won't approve as opponent.

        No one wants to see Ward fight bums. But given his past accomplishments when he was active, and the fact that this three-fight deal with HBO ends with a Kovalev bout, AND that Ward basically confirmed it today, I'm fine waiting for that to come to fruition.

          Just give up that MW belt and get going.

          These frauds don't deserve to call themselves MW champion.



          What's wrong with it.

          Neither GGG nor Canelo should get much credit for beating Cotto, he is too small.

          Cotto shouldn't act as if he is beating MW, he is draining them. (Although, Canelo does it to himself).

          Canelo isn't great!

          Makes perfect sense.
          you admit cotto is too small, therefore a catchweight makes sense right?

            Past accomplishments might get you one, maybe two rebound fights. There is no excuse for 4 bums in a row, specially the guys Ward wants to fight. There's no sense of competitiveness. There's plenty of options in the top 20 guys at light heavy weight, there's no reason to fight the kind of fighters he is fighting.

              PPV vs Malignaggi was a CLOSED CIRCUIT PPV

              NOT A HBO PPV LIKE GGG vs Lemiuex (97k failure)

                  I doubt very much that he'll be fighting another "bum" after November.

                    ^^^ Look at this ******ed poster!!

                    Michael Jennings was the FIRST fight AFTER his LOSS to MargaCheato/Plasterito!! Dumb Azz!! You dont know Zhittt about boxing.....

                      Ward was serious about fighting GGG (In 18 months)

                      Ward is serious about fight Kovalev, but first he is on mission to drag up Unranked SMW and bash them around on PPV.

                      P4P King. But, his tune ups need to be trash cans from the division below.

                      But he is getting ready for Kovalev doe! Really! I mean, fighting garbage cans and giving them 3 weeks, that's gonna tune him right up!

                      Lol! Right. This fight is to convince is dumb ass supporters he still has it.

                      GGG twice offered Ward a match. Ward told HBO straight up he wasn't ready.

                      And even when Ward said I'm ready, his contract said I'll be ready in 18 months.

                      Lol! Ward got but hurt Team GGG called him on his BS.

                      What did Ward do, threaten to take them to court.

                      Wow! The court room again.

                      Wow, that's running w/ tail tucked if I've ever seen it. The Ward thing was pushed over and over so don't pretend it wasn't serious. It was false bravado that bit him in the ass. When you shout at someone, they turn around and start walking toward you and you run away, you're a p***y.

                      Regarding Cotto, I actually agree I with him here. I thought he should have retired 2 years ago so anything he does at this point is extra credit, IMO. It's sad when fans act like vultures, wanting their guy to go after guys who are near retirement. Froch, Martinez, now Cotto?
                      But Ward was ready, really doe. In 18 months. But ready.

                      And talk about fighting guys near retirement.

                      Look who Ward is about to fight on PPV.

                      An Unranked 38 year old from the division below him, and you want to talk **** about GGG fighting Froch.

                      The ironic nature of your comment is stunning.

                      But Ward was really really ready this time.

                      Ward be like, "I'll fight you, but let me pick up this trash first."

                      It potentially ends with Kovalev.

                      They said probably works out.

                      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!

                      Cotto is too small, but no way he deserves a shot at 3 MW titles at no CW.

                      Cotto did this too himself.

                      His best bet is to vacate and call it a career.
