    Seriously?

    You think that GGG would get more money, glory, and respect by beating a guy nobody outside of hard core boxing fans cares a **** about than he would get for becoming the only unified, undisputed world champion in boxing?

    The problem you and a few others have is you can't get into your heads that the opinions of a few hard core fans at internet boxing sites don't matter in the wider picture, aka, The Real World.

      So how the fuck would it make any sense for Golovkin to move up to Ward's division just to fight him?
      That wasn't what we were talking about. I'm shaking my head at your comment on Kovalev/Ward.

      Just like I told j0zef. I anticipated this. You GGG fans just see things through your GGG goggles. Whenever you see a Ward, Lara, Canelo or Jacobs thread, you pin your ears back and just go into full attack mode. Next thing you know the threads turn into 100 pages of crap. Every potential rival/threat of GGG gets criticized and degraded. They can do no right and GGG can do no wrong. It's OK for GGG to do this but not OK for them to do that.

      It's just a chore dealing with you dudes. You guys even got your panties in a bunch in a positive thread such as this one where the premise is 3 great fighters who are struggling to land the big fights and will have to go out of their comfort zone to make their mark on the sport and reach their full potential.

      But no...immedialey "NO..WARD AND RIGO ARE NOT LIKE MY BELOVED GGG. NO WAY POSSIBLE" I mean damn dude. Enough is enough.

        No youre right. GGG will get the same by beating Lemieux and BJS and becoming champion in the weakest division in boxing instead of beating P4P, highly respected, and highly touted Ward.

        Its like identical really

          becoming a unified champion is a bigger achievement, however beating Ward would be tougher.

            Yes cause in the "real world" they care about fighters they know even less. Oh but hey hell get all the many belts, some they didnt even know existed, in boxing by beating.......yeah im sure they will care about that more than a Ward fight

                You're acting as if anyone knows who Ward is...

                Canelo is a much much much bigger name...beating him puts GGG in the drivers seat to be the face of boxing..beating Ward gets him props on NSB...

                    People know who Ward is and thats just NSB playing the "GGG gets nothing by beating him" game. But youre right just thinking of a future GGG/BJS fight gives me the same chills as GGG/Ward. Excitement through the roof.

                    If Canelo doesnt fight him next then GGG does what? Fights another guy that he doesnt even know. Yeah thats better

                      If he doesn't get Canelo then he goes after BJS and if he doesn't get him hopefully Jacobs..then as a last resort Hopkins I guess...

                      I guess GGG is just so good he can't stay in his divison and unify..that's what I don't get, if all you guys think he's a bum then what do you care if he just stays and wins all the titles?

                      He's obviously waiting on that Canelo fight and payday...I like watching his fights, and of course it's getting sickening watching him fight guys like Monroe and Wade but he has a plan I guess and he's sticking to it..I'm still gonna watch him the same way I watch Crawford fight guys levels below him and still enjoy the fights...
