Comments Thread For: Golden Boy VP: Be Fair, GGG Refused To Go Up For Andre Ward!

It's payback for ducking.

[Gil Diaz]

GGG will Ko Canelo whenever they fight and everyone knows this. All the arguments, dissertations, examples, won't matter once they get in the ring. Canelo walks around at 190, trains for 3 months to get down to 155 and comes into his fights at 170-175 lbs. Then he insists that he is not a real middleweight and people support this madness. I am not sure if Golovkin really turned down Ward, but I do know it is a high risk for small return. Had he killed himself to make 154 and fought Floyd I could understand because of the $$$ he could make. Hell, everybody/anybody would love to fight Floyd regardless of weight class because of the money they could make. I say let Golovkin fight and defend his MW titles against any and all comers, just like Hagler and Hopkins did for years. If somebody at MW beats him, fine, if not then let him clean house.

but ggg didn't go up to 168 lbs, he stayed at mw, canelo moved up for cotto and now is the mw champion. 2 different scenarios

Nope, Canelo is a JMW who fights at 155.

He did not move anywhere for Cotto.

Khan is next.

No middleweight in sight bro.

[aboutfkntime]

Did Golovkin create his own weight class and hold a 168lb belt hostage at 163?

No, he created his own weight-class at 164, and held a SMW hostage.

Which is the exact same thing to a genuine boxing fan, because this issue is about fighters/weight, not titles.

Plenty of titles have been won at catchweight.

GGG said "I will fight ANYONE from 154 to 168".
But when it comes to being more specific, he says he will fight:
Froch or Chavez Jr. at 168.
Ward at 164
Canelo at 160 "no less than that"
Floyd at 154.

If he would have just said: "I will fight anyone from 154 to 168 pounds, as long as I am the one who chooses the specific weight according to the specific opponent" then he would not be in trouble as he is right now. He may be a beast at 160, but he is not believable at any other weight, because he hasn't actually fought anyone of note out of 160. So his "challenge" is just hype. If he was for real, he would have fought Ward at 168 and he would be ecstatic at fighting Canelo at 155.

exactly. its funny how people defended pacs 154 win though at a catchweight but those same dont like canelos.. but for GGG to fight at a 164 catchweight is ok. canelo wanting catchweight no, GGG wanting ward catchweight yes.

only thing GGG fans try to argue is about belts. so what pac and may both fought titles at cactwehgihts. no one *****ed when de la hoya and hopkins fought at a catcwehgiht. its just GGG fans being sour little *****es.

Exactly !

And they would be chasing Cotto as well.

Team Bull**** hoodwinked the fans.

Gennady's Gullible Groupies are dumb as fk !

155 for a mando and 3 MW belts + lineal is just disrespectful to boxing, cong**** on defending that. Here's their 100% correct position re Canelo: vacate and a CW is in play

http://www.boxingscene.com/team-golo...vacate--100824

You are an utter ****** for 2 reasons.....

1) for believing that rubbish. If Team Bull**** thought they could beat Canelo at 155, they would just fight him..... smarten up!

2) that BULL**** "offer" said..... maybe, down the road, in 2017.

Now, that is the EXACT offer that Ward made Golovkin, except he was talking mid-2016, and you dopey asshats stated that was absurd...... how can anyone offer someone a fight next year, how dumb, blah, blah.... that is EXACTLY what you said.

It's one thing asking for a CW coming up in weight vs a champ. Champs demanding CWs in their own division, much more rare and lamer. And nobody demands a CW vs mando. Nobody demands a lowest CW possible. And nobody demands a CW when outweighing the Challenger fight night. Canelo is a whole another level of CW fraud
