Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: We'd Fight Ramirez at 168, Return To 160

[aboutfkntime]

... Back in 2015, Ward wanted a tune up early 2016 and the GGG fight after that... and who knows what and when...

Yup, we could have had Golovkin/Ward in a couple months, instead we get Golovkin/Wade.

Lame.

I feel your pain.

[SOPH~ REP.]

Talk about Hype Job

[Nubia]

Jesus are they just trying to make GGG look bad at this point?

[The plunger man]

Hypocritical ****s. Ramirez is an undefeated world champion.

Did you call Andre Ward a coward when he moved up to LHW and fought Paul Smith, a blown up SMW, then Barrera, a 17 fight novice?

Even though we're at logger heads with joshua and fury...we see eye to eye on most matchups and topics in boxing....all I can say broooo is ....the anti Golovkin brigade are the most feral and insane bunch of Mongols u will ever come across.....golovkin could move up and beat KOVALEV or joshua and they would still hate on him.....it's in there blood and they have became feral like creatures.....i wanna just golovkin get that WBC middleweight belt when canelo is forced to vacate ...then he can go after the other names and titles

I'm way too old for feeling pain from whatever sportsmen's conduct (especially when they are Russians).

Golovkin simply didn't want to endorse Ward's tricks -- fighting $2mln tune ups with the likes of Murdock with a view to a supposed "bigger fight"... Those Russians are too shrewd to swallow such cheap tricks (the same goes Kovalev, who even doesn't mention your boy's name).

I don't suspect you as being so narrow minded, therefore you must be trolling (which is OK).

Hell of a fight. I'd love to see it.

Move up and stay up and move up again

Canelo is the same size as Lemule, similar style but with less power and smaller testicles. Canelo will puss out and duck again or get whipped. Saunders gets crushed like a bug. GGG should move up and stay up and clean up the 168 division with the championship fight vs. Callum Smith in Britania. GGG vs Kovalev is the only fight that matters for the little guys under 175lbs. Hopefully it happens.

This is one of those times you should think before you say and we you can't think of anything to say, just tell the truth. "We would not risk GGG against Ward!"

[MEXfistology]

they actually tried to fight ward and ward said he wasn't ready. did you forget that? or are you talking about the time ward said he wanted 50-50 and to fight in 15 months. are you saying that is a serious offer? if so lol

ward has never stated the he wasnt ready...whatever abel sanchez or loeffer say is just plain bs, theyre trying to make it seem as if ward is avoiding them, and theyre always contradicting themselves..and 50-50 is a serious offer, lil g has no big names on his resume whatsoever, ward has faced top opposition, he deserves more than half the purse, yet he said he wasnt gonna argue about giving golovkin that 10 percent they wanted, so he agreed 50/50, ..then lil g's team come up with maybe fighting in 2017

[kafkod]

what financial rewards.no one has even hears of Ramirez..Ward fight would make much more money


So was Ward not an undefeated lineal champion at 168?
casuals?? hell hardcores dont even know Ramirez...how far are yall going to stoop to make excuses for this obvious duck?

Loeffler is talking about moving up to fight Ramirez IF the fight they really want, vs Canelo, doesn't happen. That will mean Canelo has broken the contract he and GGG signed with WBC and GGG will be handed the WBC title by default

When Roc sent Loeffler the offer which would have involved GGG signing a contract agreeing to fight Ward at some unspecified time in the future, after they had both had at least one interim fight, GGG already had that contract from the WBC, which involved Cotto as well as Canelo, back then.

Remember ... Cotto and Canelo were only given permission by the WBC to fight each other for the WBC belt if they signed a contract with GGG, guaranteeing they would fight him afterwards, or lose the title.

Even if Cotto, Canelo, and the WBC had given GGG permission to sign another contract with Ward, covering the same time frame as the one he already signed with them - which they wouldn't have done - Golovkin couldn't have honoured the terms of both contracts during the same time frame.
