Comments Thread For: Garcia: If Golovkin Will Face Floyd at 154, Then Face Canelo at 155

[Razcal26]

Golovkin would go up to 168 to face Froch, Chavez Jr, James Degale, and Gilberto Ramirez.

But for Ward it had to be 164 or no fight.

That didn't go unnoticed and I won't forget.

Exactly where I stand on it.

I don't care what anybody has to say or the excuses they bring up.

It was never 164 or no fight.

Garcia you idiot, floyd is not mw champ, that is why ggg will drop for floyd. Canelo is mw champ and he should either defend his titles at that the mw limit or drop a pound and go to jm. Its that simple. Funny how just 2 yrs ago the diva cried about dropping to 152 for floyd and said he was weight drained. Now all of a sudden yrs later he is comfortable at 155. Wtf

It was never 164 or no fight. It was this fall (2015) at 164, to which Ward countered with next year (2016) at 168 after a tune up in 2016. Loeffler responded to that by saying early 2017 (presumably at 168) if Andre Ward can still make 168. Andre then claimed "lil g" ducked him, vacated his 168 belt, and signed to fight Murdoch then Brand.

To ShoulderRoll: did any of Froch, Chavez Jr, James Degale, and Gilberto Ramirez. accept to fight GGG so far?
... if Ward wanted that fight that hard, why did he need another tune-up (early 2016) in order to fight GGG? I'll tell you: Ward actually wants $1.5-2million tune-ups instead of fighting GGG or Kovalev... (save this and come back here in 2017)...

BWaHAHaaHAHaahaaHA!!!

Yeah...I stuck my foot in my mouth with that sentence. But that doesn't mean that Ward didnt counter with "a year or so from now". And it certainly doesnt change the fact that GGG offer of 50-50 purse and weight is playing the A side card and remotely near the 155 90-10 offer of Canelo, which is the original point he argued.

Saying 164 or no fight for Ward (while being willing to go up to the full 168 for everyone else because they bring more money) is the epitome of playing the A-side card.

No sir. Demanding all of your opponents come to your special weight class of the bare minimum of the division in which you hold a belt at, and making a ridiculous offer ti the mandatory that you previously agreed to fight, is the epitome of "playing the A side card"

[ShoulderRoll]

Look, they're both guilty of throwing A-side weight around. I can't have any sympathy for Golovkin against Canelo because of that.

Says 154 or 168 then runs from fights at both weights when fighters call him out. Says specially he will fight Floyd or Manny (both men who are naturally smaller then Khan by the way) at 154 and that he can make that weight "easily". Yet now he can't go 1 pound higher at 155 and tells Ward for you I will only fight at 168 SMH
