Golovkin is not a risk taker. Simple.

[jqSide]

Ward is not even interested. According to Sanchez Ward wanted three tuneup fights first before he fights Golovkin, and it took him a year to make a fake offer.

At the end of the day even if GG said yes, Ward would still have to decide when it will happen. Meaning, it may never be.

Dumb OP.

There is no reason for GGG to fight in Canelo's made up weight class.

[thechampizhere]

Wait wait so ward vs ggg wouldnt be financially healthy for ggg lmao...who has he fought...what tournament did he win...what big name champ has he beaten...i like ggg because of his style but watching that lemiuex fight made turn it down a notch for the hype...he basically played safe that whole night just jabbing didnt pull that willie monroe **** and abel sanchez said he would go to war with lemieux but **** was dull..a fight with ward on ppv at the barclays would be a sold out event that could possibly hold up to 15,000 ppl the advertiment and hype wouldve been on point being that ROC Nation is wards promoter and i could easily see this fight doing between 1.2-1.5 million ppv buys...see i know ggg says one thing but do you really think he is the one saying it...its his bum ass promoter and his loud mouth trainer...now all of a sudden he cant drop to 155 to fight the new ppv cash...**** the chips..go down dominate and make yourself the new cash cow...160 is full of pretenders...challenge yourself ..go to 168 and fight but no..what his management doesnt understand is that they are not the powerhouse promoters that canelo and other stars of the divisions have...they can make all up all the excuses of oh this guy dont want or this go doesnt wanna agree to our terms...**** your terms you are not an 'A' side fighter yet...you have not accomplished **** against any top tier elite fighter yes we understand that your a yes man but drop the ****ing tough guy act drop your ****ing management and get with a powerhouse team like haymon or gbp or even top rank...other than that stfu keep fighting tomato cans and getting that record..if u not moving up or down like the great fighters then dont talk ****...

[hhs661]

He'll move up or down for 2 retired fighters, but won't think twice about 2 current boxers who are close to being at the top of their game. Makes sense for ggg and his team.

[boliodogs]

He is a middleweight and he will gladly fight any middleweight in the world. If that isn't risk taker enough for you that's tough ****. Ward wanted to fight Mayweather at 160 but he won't go down to 164 to fight GGG. Ward wants the fight at his weight of 168 so he has all the advantages. I guess Ward isn't a risk taker. He fights an unranked smaller fighter once every 18 months while GGG knocks out 3 or 4 contenders or champions every year. No wonder Ward is so jealous that he can't stop bad mouthing GGG 24\7 365. That's no way for the son of God to act.

I like the guy. Great power and IQ but the guy will not take risks man. Simple.

"I will fight Floyd at 154" - But will not fight Canelo at 155. He will cut weight to fight the smaller guy he can bully, but not Canelo? Money cannot be an excuse anymore. Canelo is currently GGG's, if not boxing's, biggest draw.

"I will fight Froch at 168" - But will not fight Ward at 168. He will move up to fight an active 38 year old, with not much skill, who announced his retirement this year. But will not fight the more skillful, quicker, smarter and younger Ward?

You GGG fanatics need to be realists man. No doubt he is one of the best in the sport but he will not take risks.

Funny how going up a division to face Ward's best scalp on his home turf is not even risky for GGG.

So you support this 155 demand?

[daggum]

willing to fight anyone in your division=not a risk taker. did ggg have all his fights in his home country while his opponents had to travel around the world fighting in opponent's home countries? no that was ward not ggg. did ggg turn down 3 top guys in his division? no that was ward. did ggg ask for 3 tune ups before fighting the second best guy in the division above? no that was ward. ggg tried to fight froch in his first fight at 168 but that wasn't good enough. does ggg want to drain himself 4 pounds? no. does ward want to drain himself 4 pounds no. oh wow they are similar after all! forget all the other stuff above.

[daggum]

"i hate catchweights!"

"why isn't ggg fighting at a catchweight!"

"ggg tried to fight ward at a catchweight what a fraud!"

that's not even bipolar thats tripolar

[Blue Heffner]

fighting floyd at 154 makes sense.

career wise, and money wise.

fighting ward at 168 makes NO SENSE.

career or financial wise.

GGG can beat floyd or froch. he's not ready yet for ward. I understand all the political maneuvers of all parties involved. From ward being scared ****less of sergei kovalev and waiting out a middleweight when he has already wiped out his career division while he has huge money and legacy fights awaiting him in his NEXT LOGICAL DIVISION (175 but fears the russian) to GGG knowing he will lose to Ward while waiting out cotto canelo....

you'd have to be a ****** person not to get any of their career machinations like the TS.

Eeeexactly! I don't know if the average poster here is ****** or what but I'm getting fed up with this crack head logic these thread starters have.

Dropping down in weight for Mayweather is much more rewarding than dropping down in weight for a paper champ - Canelo. A guy who loves fighting at catchweights and being called a champion.

GGG should take risk, yes. But dropping down in weight to fight Canelo, in this situation doesn't make sense. GGG has BEEN there as a MW. When was the last time Canelo had a fight at the weight's limit?

[boliodogs]

You don't like GGG. Who the fuc are you kidding. If you liked him you wouldn't start a bull**** thread trashing him. You like a dull fighter who clinches, wrestles, head butts and holds and hits. You like a fighter who only fights about once every 18 months against a smaller unranked fighter. You like a fighter who challenges a fighter in a smaller weight class to come up to his weight instead of fighting the other good fighters in his own weight class. You like a fighter who is so sickly and fragile he can't even complete a training camp. You like a fighter who was knocked down by a bum who only wins a third of his fights.
