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

[ShoulderRoll]

If Ward beats Kovalev (which won't be easy) history will show that Golovkin robbed SOG of a chance to get wins over the two great "Russian school" boxers of his era. All because of GGG's ducking or being a businessman or whatever you want to call it.

It's a damn shame and I don't blame Andre one bit for having no love lost towards GGG.

What if they do fight in about 2 years? Then what?

Oh, so you are indeed playing A-side/B-side? Cool.

Glad to hear you're on board for the 155lb catchweight.

HUH? How about you and I go into business the next 2 years. Here's my plan...You're going to go into the office and work your ass off every day. I will make a single appearance at said office at some point but don't worry no one will notice me. At the end of the 2 years, you'll sign a contract that says we are 50/50 partners in the company. You can remain at your current weight, but I do want my name to come first and the company will need to move to my hometown.

Once again...you're either playing A-side/B-side, or you're not. Which one is it?

Golovkin is a coward. They'll never .

What do you mean? How did I come off as either A-side or B-side? I offered you 50/50. You can even have your name first and you don't have to move. How's the deal sound now?

No A side/B side means meeting in the middle...50/50 @ 164. That was a very generous suggestion considering one guy worked while the other didn't. That's not an A side attitude at all.

If you feel otherwise, give me your pitch to GGG to accept Ward's offer. I'm dying to hear this....

[DoktorSleepless]

it was widely reported that the offer was a 50-50 split, 15-18 months down the road after a few Ward tuneups. It would have resulted in GGG giving up his Canelo mando spot, as well as being stripped of the IBF title.

In other words, it was a ridiculous "offer", that nobody (except for the GGG hate squad) took seriously. It was the same as if you were looking for a new house in 3-6 months, but some realtor wanted you to sign a contract for a house that wouldnt even be built for a year and a half down the road.......

Why do you keep on repeating this 15-18 month crap? The offer was for the first half of 2016. It was only one tuneup in between.

If Ward mans up and fight Kovalev then I don't mind him moving up and away from Golovkin. If there is any reason Ward avoids Kovalev, however, that really looks bad.

He's ok with Canelo/Khan @ 155? lol

I didn't think this was a difficult a concept to grasp. You quoted me with myriad excuses for GGG ducking Ward. I brought up you being ok with the 155 catchweight, you know, since Canelo is the A side. You're fine with that situation too right?
