Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: I'm Not a Fan of Golovkin, I Respect Canelo

[stuff jones]

anyone who is a fan of canelo isn't a fan of the sport of boxing.

[Chuckguy]

Ward is butt hurt that a GGG is by far more popular and making more money with a less established resume

[icha]

What you say is true but you forget to take into account that can't-nelo is Mexican which had he biggest most loyal fan base in boxing, he signed to GBP and was handed everything to him on a silver platter
GGG is from Eastern Europe is with a small promoter and has had to scrap his way to get where he is now.
Only good fights on can't-Nelo resume are Floyd and Lara and he lost both in some peeps op. I think he is 1-1.
Past prime shop worn Jotto and mentally ******ed best to shi t Kirkland don't count.

Of course canelo cant make big fights easier than ggg, but you cant have ggg fans saying his resume is better than canelos ... and by the way trout was also considered a high risk low reward when canelo took the fight, thats also better than anything on gggs resume.. you need to consider also that canelo has taken those fights at 22 or 23yo which makes it even more impressive ..

I'm not arguing his resume its by far better than GGG
But both have taken vastly different paths to get where they are and gggs path has been way more difficult

I'll respect Canelo when he steps in the ring with GGG. Stepping in the ring with Mayweather was like accepting love taps for the biggest payday of his life and he lost no credibility that he had earn. A close fight with Cotto made him seem very human. Stepping in the ring with Golovkin will prove he's an Aztec Warrior.

Hey doesn't need to prove he's a warrior moron, he only needs to outbox him. That's why it's called "boxing".... fans? Lol

[Metho_4u]

Look, I get that Canelo is super popular. He's a star.

But...114-114??? That's another sign that judges love him. Favor him. Line their pockets with him.

Mayweather didn't beat Canelo. He dominated, ****d, owned him all night long. Went out to his family in the audience and had his way with them too.

Canelo ******. No manhood whatsoever.

Does that make a great "resume?" Maybe for you. A draw with Lara? You like that.

I don't. Don't care what anybody says about it either.

The 'eye test' is good enough for me. Golovkin is playing it safe and ripping contracts vs good opposition to pieces, one after the other. That's what I like to see.

And it's why Canelo AIN'T getting in the ring against GGG. That's why GP and all that crew is saying "we want Golovkin....but not now. Not anytime soon."

So what? Mayweather owned Manny, yet most still worship him and want to deny it.

Also fixed the above for you

i had canelo beating lara like most boxing specialists and members of this forum, just cuz you had lara wining it changes nothing, in fact you are on a very low minority so it really doesnt matters...
and if you cant accept that at 25 canelos resume is better than gggs at 34 then you are just a fanboy...
like a said wait until canelo reaches his prime and the gap will be even bigger...
and by the way i dont support canelo doing CWs while holding a title, neither the khan fight which i consider a joke...

I won 1 quint here on Canelo beating Lara. Lara dropped that fight at 155 ( he took the money and kept his belt at 154).

[xhiddenx87]

looks like you're the one thats butthurt. you're not accepting the truth for some reason

Ohh right and Ward is saying the thruth? dont make me laugh!

Why he don't even mention that time when Gennady was willing to fight him, oh right promoter/injury/not interested blablabla...

Now all of sudden he is talking the thruth...FOH


Like everybody else, he is trying to accomodate his opinions just to make them look very objective.

i know and i agree...

[aboutfkntime]

one ducker respects another no surprise. making ****** unreasonable demands that were turned down doesn't mean the guy didn't want to fight you. the blame rests squarely on you ward. you turned down the fight when ggg was the b-side. blame yourself. when ggg was the a-side you wanted him to wait 15 months and give you 50-50. which b-side demands that kind of crap? what boxing fan expects the a-side to do everything the b-side wants? oh ward/floyd fans the same guys who always talked about how floyd can dictate and pac should accept 40 million etc...lmao

What an asshat.

AND, you spent 5 years blaming Mayweather for Pacquiao's refusal to undertake random blood tests.

What an asshat.
