Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If GGG Beats Ward, Then I'll Be Impressed

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Umm, no ****

A Small MW (sized like many JR.MW these days) beats a LHW, well damn right you should be impressed.

Who gives a **** ass about what impresses Floyd. GGG KO's Canelo, he'll get enough attention.

And if Canelo manages to drag him down to 155, then Ward will come down to 161, or he can bug off.

Although I think Canelo should fight GGG at 160, and when GGG fights Ward it should be at 168.

That's the only way huh? "Until then he's just a name". So literally the only way he'll be impressed is if he beats Ward, doesn't matter what else he does. Sounds like NSB.

I guess that implies if Golovkin moves up in weight to 168 or 172-175 (where Ward seems set on fighting at 175 now) and were to lose a decision, he's no good? He's not impressive and was exposed? Is Ward some gatekeeper here or isn't he considered one of the best fighters over the past 10 years or whatever? If a good fighter loses to another good fighter that doesn't mean they suck. Same type of weird mentality when someone loses to Floyd Mayweather and suddenly they were exposed and over hyped, as if that's the benchmark to being good or not. Strange logic.

Mayweather never called out GGG and, if you haven't heard, Floyd is 38 and retired. Golovkin ducked Ward until he had to seek challenges in another weight class, then Genady started calling him out when he knew the cost was clear.

He just fought Berto. Why didn't he fight GGG?

And what in his prime top ten P4P boxer has Floyd beaten who was two weight classes above him?

I'm waiting.

Maybe because Floyd's last fight before Berto was with a true 140lber and fighting a guy who is 170+ on fight night didn't appeal to him. The dude is 38 with bad hands and the vultures are just dying to see him put in a disadvantageous position. Floyd obviously took a bunt at the end of his career but at least you could say he earned it. Genady has never taken a risk or had an impressive opponent. I though the choice of Berto was a joke but at the end of the day, Berto is no worse than Golovkin's best opponents.

Funny for a guy who's been as selective about who and when he fights potentially threatening opposition, talking about how impressed he would be if a different fighter took on a challenge far greater than anything, he, Floyd, ever came close to nut-checking himself for.. He must literally mean he would be impressed. He should.

What I don't understand is....why people think so poorly of GGG, but want him to fight one of the top fighters on the planet at a weight that doesn't benefit him?

Because him and his team set a standard for themselves when they market him, people that are NOT drinking from his well are calling him out on that standard. If you are going to make claims better believe people would remember and hold you to it.

Can Ward make 160? If so, GGG will fight him.

If you want the bigger names and they are not at your weight class, or they refuse to fight you then move up period, Mosley moved up, Mayweather did, Pacman moved up to chase bigger and better fighters/names. They took risk in the midst of their careers, it was towards the end of their careers that they were able to dictate their careers due to the risk they took early on, you can not fight boyband members and sell your career on people ducking you, then when you get the call to enhance your legacy your refuse the fight with many excuses (PPV, weight class) etc

He does not need to, I would fight anyone from 154- 168 remember? What happen to that? Let the man take a risk for once. I actually picked him over ward until I saw that they didn't think he can beat Ward, that definitely change my mind.
