I think you're confusing GGG with Canelo... Canelo is the one asking for a catch weight in the division he's supposed to the champ in
Oh I see, how you are OK with coddling Andre CoWard for years with cab-driving tune ups before he has to fight Kova at 175, but you want GGG to fight Ward at 168 with no tune ups at 168...
I love the excuse-making double-standard having fan boys... I'd guess you're a ******* who supports ***** also?Comment

Look at all the GGG fans already in fear of this fight! Why? Because they know that if Andre Ward climbs through those ropes to fight Kovalev in 2016, GGG will look like a Lil' G before Ward even throws a punch! They don't want to watch Ward in a mega-fight with Kovalev because of the courage it would display on Andre Ward's part. The GGG fans know that they can't doubt whether he was serious about fighting GGG, when he accepts the challenge to fight the bigger fighter in Kovalev. As soon as Ward climbs throught those ropes, that argument is over! And GOD forbid that Ward actually wins the fight! OH NO! They're praying hard for that not to happen! The best thing they could hope for is for Ward to A) Not fight Kovalev at all, or B) Kovalev puts a beating on Ward, comes back to 168 as damage goods and fights GGG!Comment

Not really because Ward is 32, and has been having 3 years of tune up fights to fight Kova, while Triple G will fight anyone in his division, and Ward still hasn't been a two-division champion yet... Manny Pac had won how many titles already by 32? Nobody is saying GGG is the best lb for lb fighter of the decade or anything, he's just the best Middleweight champ since Hopkins...Last edited by MisanthropicNY; 05-30-2016, 10:30 AM.Comment

I think Kova-Ward will be Calzaghe-Lacy although I'll admit that Ward is much better skilled than Lacy, he still has to rely on clinching and that doesn't work against bigger fighters who will not be affected by Ward lying his weight on them...
Kova was able to rock Hopkins many times...a Hopkins on his toes that entire fight... Ward is a flat-footed clincher who uses angles and clinching to confuse his opponents and limit their offense..the clinching won't work on Kova..plus Ward's chin is suspect...
I'm taking Kova by late KOComment

These CoWard-defenders are clowns like the FIomos.. now it's activity that counts... GGG should move up and fight Ward because he's active but Ward is entitled to tune-ups for years for Kova because he's been a diva cherry-picker who even embarrassingly had a fight rejected by NSAC...
Ward is nothing special..he doesn't compare with Floyd or Manny Pac, Hopkins, Roy Jones, etc. He's a coddled fighter whose entire claim to fame is beating past-their-prime mid 30s Europeans fighters... Kessler wasn't the same after Calzaghe beat him and Froch is a very good fighter but unless he's working behind his jab, he's just a flat-footed slugger..he couldn't use his jab against Mr. Clinch and never get warned...
Triple G is in his mid 30s and still makes 160 easily...he has no reason to move up at this late stage in his career... especially when Canelo is in his division and is actually a star not a guy who can't even pack small Oakland arenas.Comment

If Ward could still make 168 he probably would be going after belts there.
GGG never offered Ward a catchweight. 50/50 money and weight was just a hypothetical statement on what would be fair terms to make the fight.
And talking about Ward being in so deep in terms of competition ... who is Andre going to be fighting next?
It WON'T be Kovalev, that's for sure.Comment
