Mayweather double standards when he talks about Ward and Golovkin

[_Maxi]

how is it a double standard against ggg when they are not forcing him to fight ward like they are forcing ward to fight krusher? i guess in some dream world

Wow... so Andre Ward is being forced to face Kovalev? I thought we lived on a free world. Andre Ward is a mature man who can decide. When did he became so weak that he had to accept what others forced him to do? doesn't make sense at all.

Andre Ward, as of the ESPN SportsNation interview not too long ago, walks around at 180lbs; Sergey Kovalev likely walks around at 200lbs, as can be said for basically every other light heavyweight fighter sans maybe Bernard Hopkins.

HBO put their price at picking up Ward's next three fights at going to 175 for fight Kovalev, Ward and his camp looked at it, and they felt confident enough to go forward with the deal.

If you want to try and discredit outside observers seeing a guy who walks around at 180lbs being compelled to fight guys walking around at 200lbs, that's on you.

that's not correct. Sorry to make you come down to reality, but Kovalev fight night weight oscilates between 180-189. You have several links on the matter:

While Andre Ward admitted to be at least 180+ against Paul Smith. So fighthing in the complete LHW limit he would probably be around 185.

There's no significative weight difference at all.

Floyd "I'm an oppressed multimillionaire in a white mans world, dog eating rice midgets are trying to kill me" Mayweather is siding with Ward over Golovkin??

And this is news?

I guess to all the dummies who kept giving him money but not me

of course he is the only way hbo signs him to a deal was with the krusher fight. ward wanted to stay at 168 and was willing to fight anybody including ggg mr protect from ward and hbo said no. of course thats being forced i mean come on guys get real. HBO wanted him to move to 175 not just to fight krusher but because they knew if he stayed at 168 they would not be able to protect their investment in ggg from him.

if thats not forcing a fighter to move up weight classes what exactly is? Ward wanted to stay at 168 and was willing to fight anybody but hbo would not let him whats ward going to do fight on BET? Give me a break

Of course Dibella would say that. He was protecting his boy. HBO wanted that fight and were willing to pay for it too. Gotta love revisionist history.

Dibilla even said himself that "no way I am putting martinez in with that monster(GGG)"

Was he forced to sign with HBO? Are we to blame because he didnt have the balls to keep fighting at 168? If he is such a big star as he and his fans wants to make us believe, why is he forced to sign a contact he doesnt want to sign?


Why did he fight at 172 his last fight? There are sources saying he cant make 168 anymore.

I think Mayweather is saying there's more of a push to get Ward to move up a division to face a perceived threat than there is for GGG to move up and face a perceived threat. In that sense, he is actually correct. The other side of it is that there's really nobody at 160 people want to see GGG fight and nobody at 168 that people want to see Ward fight.

I knew Scipio2009 would abandon this thread. Thats what cowards do when proven that they are full of ****

Oh more lies... People want to see GGG against Canelo, Jacobs, Lee, Lara, etc at 160

Did you forget that we are not debating anymore?

There never is a debate. I just set you straight like the chump you are.
