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

[therealpugilist]

Because GGG is in charge. Ward got forced into a 175 pound snuff film against Kovalev that he will be delaying for as long as possible with back to back tune ups. He needed GGG more than GGG needed him.

Also, don't act like any fighter out there is acting without regard to politics and business at this point in the game. Mosley is the last guy who did that, and he got ****ed out and broke.

Who has GGG beat to make any demands of for Ward to need him..no one outside of his hard core fans and people in the fight game even know who GGG is...when no one even knew who GGG was Ward was winning championships and beating top supermiddleweights

97k for ppv says otherwise...fans are tired of watching GGG fight mismatches and mis-mandatories.....we expect the same from everyone else he is no different

Floyd Nelo and Ward actually have faced better competition and opponents who were considered elite...all 3 are lineal champions....what has GGG done? He beat Lemieux for a belt and had the WBA gift wrapped. .GGG hasnt and the first very good fighter he wants to face is a 51 year old coming off of a loss...doesnt look good no matter how you slice it.

So you are saying if you've got a good resu me you can ask for cw' and bloat and drain fighters?

GGG is askingfloyd for a cw but that is to benefit Floyd, it hardly benefits himself. Nelo dont need no against GGG, he is just being paranoid and silly. Yes GGG wants too drain ward. Ward has already drained chad so its time for gggs turn.
Oh sorry in yourrule book you need a good resume to be able to drain don't you? You seem a littlebiased!

Ggg made 3 lineal champs duck out in fear, including "Nelo" who's gonna get stripped for not feeling ready for his mando

you dont get credit for fights that dont happen....sorry....if they wont fight move up like everyone else in history....168 is a good divison too and he'd make good money...degale and Jack who are also title holders are better matchups than BJS or a geriatric Hopkins at 160-168


so that would make 2 out 3 belts that were gift wrapped without actually fighting...is that supposed to be a huge accomplishment or something

[Irony123]

Man some of these dudes look at GGG as a superhero. He wants to take on the best fighters in boxing and nobody wants any parts of him. Let them live out their fantasy.

That statement is half true, he does want to take on the best fighters... in his own division or the biggest names in other divisions if the best fighters in his own division don't oblige. He will take on the biggest name in other divisions but they can also be the best fighters (i.e. Floyd at 154), sometimes the two don't align however (i.e. Ward- best fighter, Froch/Chavez - best names).

catch weights have been a part of boxing for hundreds of years...it didnt start in this era nor will it end...some of you guys really need to start following the sport and stop d!ckriding one fighter and trolling another

once chad signed the contract he agreed...excuses are for loses man.


Im strictly talking GGG....Has he beat any elite fighters? Nope.....

All I'm saying is he ain't no different from anybody else. Fighters will fight anybody for the right price.

Because they preferred to fight eachother for big $ rather than fight a 33 year old with no names on his resume. Martinez-Chavez Jr/Cotto, Cotto/Canelo were all bigger fights than any of them vs GGG.

[boliodogs]

I would love to see a GGG vs Ward fight at any weight including 175. Ward was knocked down and hurt by a loser bum with a 20% KO ratio. Nobody has ever hurt GGG or won more than 1 round from him in any fight. GGG would KO Ward. Now Kovalev will KO Ward instead. Either way the badly overrated Ward balloon gets popped.

you have a point...it would be nice if he moved up...no more whining about 160, 168 has good fights who'd be willing to fight him

Exactly. Yet his fans on NSB act like he is somehow different and is putting the sport before himself.
