Clear this up for me: GGG will fight Popkins at 168 but they wanted Ward at 164

You Golovkin fans are the biggest bunch of cowards ever. Always an excuse for his bum fights.

Oh right because an IBF mandatory is some fan-made excuse, brilliant post. We wouldn't even be here if Canelo would have manned up and fought his own mandatory in Golovkin instead of a chinny 140/147 pound fighter. Hopefully he fights Golovkin later in the year, that's what the boxing world wants to see.

stop with the fake outrage the ward fight was never going to happen you dimwit too many variables involved like ward wanting ggg to wait over a year so they could fight.dont worry ggg is a bum according to you so hopkins should school him easy.face it hopkins would be the best name on ward's resume.

50 year old hopkins would be no where near the best name on wards resume dont be ridiculous

How am I lying? There is a deal in place that Golden Boy/Canelo have 15 days to to accept the Golovkin fight after Khan or drop the belt/get stripped. This is the deal brokered by the WBC between Golden Boy and K2. Obviously they don't literally have a set date, venue, and contract in place to fight. Follow along.

which means they dont have any deal in place at all hahaha thats not a deal that was ggg taking a step aside fee not to enforce this same exact scenario months ago what makes u so sure it will happen when all u hear from gbp is they need to wait longer to make it worth it. i mean seriously how many times have we heard that since cotto beat martinez only to have ggg take a step aside fee and no mando was ordered

*** off you imbecile. there is no bigger coward than that red head who is lineal champion at 160 yet he picks on super lightweights and claims he's not a middleweight while coming in at 175 lbs on fight night. you canelo fans are a joke

I'm not sure what part of my post says anything about Kovalev not being more dangerous for Ward, that goes without saying. As for the matchup itself, Ward will have a good size and reach advantage to make full use of his boxing and grappling skills. GGG will have a tough time, but well schooled Russian boxers deal with slick fighters pretty damn well, so I suspect he will find some ways to land.

A tune up is fine. Ward hasn't had a meaningful win in over 4 years. Every big fight that comes up is prefaced with "a couple more tune ups first". His competition over the last 4 years is worse than GGG's. Obviously he needs to ease his way in, but how many years and how many fringe contenders does he need to eat before he is back at the top level of competition? I'm hoping within a year.

Ward is better than old man Hopkins in almost every way, but Hopkins is as experienced and cagey as a fighter can be, has a great chin AND most importantly, he didn't fight to win. He fought to survive. I fully expect Ward to come to win, that is exactly why he is going to get knocked out.

GGG last 5 opponents are who? Lemieux, Monroe, Murray, etc

Wards are smith, Rodriguez, Abraham, froch and Dawson


GGG has not been in with the level of ward period

Proof is in the pudding


Ward cut from a didn't clothe than anyone GGG has fought also Kov...kov best win is hops n Pascal... Ward beat

GGG don't have much proof or has he fought a Kessler, froch type...elite


Coming to win is a bad thing lol

Anyway we'll see

Floyd drained nelo but was happy to fight dlh at 154. I don't understand why this thread was invented!

Floyd was the A side versus canelo
Floyd was the B side versus de la hoya

See the difference. The B side has no say so

Wow what an incredibly contradictory post you just made here!

In your first paragraph, you literally talk about this being "prize fighting" and fighting for money, completely excluding boxing as any sort of sport at all and it's all about making money, legacy be damned ("legacy doesn't pay the bills").

Then you literally go on and say golovkin should go fight some one worth a damn after you just explained why anyone worth a damn isn't fighting him! Holy shit I haven't seen such a contradictory, hypocritical post like this in ages. Further, if this is "prize fighting" and "all about da money", under your logic why should Golovkin do that and not simply follow the PBC blueprint of low risk/high reward?

Now hes gonna try and explain why its ok to demand that GGG has to fight for legacy and not worry about money because he needs to fight a name fighter. But then hes gonna say that nobody with a name should fight GGG because he doesn't bring any money.

Exactly. Thus the infinite loop of Golovkin hate with these guys.
