Comments Thread For: Provodnikov: Golovkin Blows Out Canelo, GGG-Ward is The Fight

[IllegalDeath]

Honestly Ward had a chance to accept it at 164. 164 is the Ideal neutral weight for a champion at 160 and 168 to fight with advantages to none. However Ward didnt have confidence in himself to beat Golovkin without having any unfair weight advantage in his favor.

I'd take Lara, Trout, Jacobs, Saunders. We likely see Golovkin move to 168 after fighting the latter two and facing Zurdo and maybe see him and Ward meeting somewhere between 168 and 175. Don't honestly think Ward can still make 168 and that struggle to make 168 might cause some arguments here and in negotiations. Hope they make the Ward fight though so we can put an end to that discussion.

One's a middleweight the other ones a light heavyweight......Promoters and idiots only deal in names ...divisions for good reason.

He was SMW when it was relevant , now its not of course.
GGG offered a 164 CW maybe if he said "168 lets go" we could've seen the fight
I love GGG and don't care much about Ward and i was sad to see the fight go away like that , it was a fight i would've fly to the US to see in real life have butterflies for 4 weeks before the fight , read every article and consume each minute of media , instead i got a god damn ginger running around dropping belts and GGG still looking for Elite comp to fight him.

GGG would be at a size disadvantage , but thats almost ALWAYS the case when fighters go up in weight to fight a single mega fight , thats how it goes , Krusher will be bigger then Ward as well , he barely makes LHW now.

I definitely want to see GGG vs. Ward/Kov in the future, but Ruslan is severely underrating Canelo. He's big, tough, and skillful. Don't think that Golovkin walks through him as easily as he says.

[Oldschool5]

Not sure GGG walks thru Canelo that easily, but the Ward fight aint happening. That ship has sailed. Canelo likely fights Lemeiux then GGG. Just my opinion, the way everything is going not sure we'll see a big fight anytime soon.

It's a shame Ward ducked GGG and was only available when GGG wasn't... that is to say, years in the future. GGG's people finally called Ward on it by saying come down 4 lbs, split the difference, make it 50-50 toward each guy's weight class. Ward responded by going north. Ward never really wanted it, always ducked the reality.

The full 168 limit for a bum like Chavez Jr or a youngster like Zurdo even 172 for a retired Froch but Ward 164, LOL... Who's ducking who? Lil G should grow some balls and dare to be great instead of being satisfied crushin bums

Golovkin is a coward. Fake weights.

No way , its ALWAYS harder to go down in weight in todays boxing , Ward wouldn't be able to do it without draining his ass (see the Chad D fight).
