    Not at all. Ward just called ggg's "anybody from 154-168" bluff and debunked the "boogie man" myth. Big difference. Ward or his team never once said he could beat everybody from multiple weight classes.

      Can Little G fans just stay out of Ward/Kovalev threads from now on?
      These threads are for real fans of the sport who want to see a real fight between 2 real fighters.

      These matters don't concern Little G or his fans.
      I second that notion. This is the first time I've seen a boxer being ridiculed for taking on a tougher opponent.........some of these so called fans are an embarrassment to GGG.

          I was under the belief that Ward expressed interest in the match up after GGG tried to make fights with Chavez Jr. and Froch. I don't think they ever got far enough into negotiations for a fight between them to discuss tune ups, etc. Not to mention that Able was running his mouth about GGG being a monster, capable of beating any fighter from 154-168.

          Ward seems to be giving Kovalev the respect he deserves by admitting he needs to prepare himself for a fighter of his caliber. I didn't get that same impression from GGG's camp.
          Sanchez said they would stop Andre Ward in 10 rounds, that must have been 2/3 years ago now.

            "I think I could beat a klitschko"??????

            Nice spin though.

              Nice paraphrasing. He said his goal was to end his career as a heavyweight and as a fighter he believes he can beat any man including Klitschko.

              It's nowhere near as "matter of fact" a statement as Golovkin's team put out about being willing to face everyone from 154-168.

              Who's alt are you anyway?

                Correct. Not Golovkin himself, his ****** trainer Sanchez.

                  So GGG isn't nearly as confident as his trainer? Is that what you're saying?

                  Throwing the trainer under the bus now. Protect Little G at ALL costs!

                    That's right, Sanchez is delusional as hell.

                    GGG will likely lose to Ward, he's too small.

                    But we know who truly is confident taking 2-3 tuneups before Kovalev is OK but GGG must go to Ward right away

                      Just so you twits can get that out of your vocab once and for all, "As a fighter, I believe I could beat a Klitschko… I’m wired to believe that…”

                      That's a statement about a fighter's mentality. It's not calling out a bigger fighter, then running away with your tail tucked.
