Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Kovalev Will Be Too Much For Andre Ward!

[kafkod]

That's because his whole career has been tune ups

Yeah? Because just saying something over and over again makes it true, even though it's false?

I know you've only got a limited amount of characters for the thread title but seriously..

I mean, not only is that title inaccurate it misses the the biggest thing to come out of this interview. Sanchez was actually being reasonable and complimentary towards Ward. Seriously, who knew he had it in him?

The title doesn't explain the context very well...that's for sure.

[Larry the boss]

Golovkin had problems with his promoter back in Germany. They also promoted Felix Sturm and kept GGG away from him. Unlike Ward though, GGG kept fighting till he could get out of his contract and relocate to the States.

If Ward wanted so fight GGG so badly, why did he say he wasn't ready when HBO asked them about fighting each other back in 2013?

If Ward wanted to fight GGG so badly, why did he wait till he was put under pressure by HBO to take some meaningful fights before sending Loeffler that bull**** offer last year?

And it says a lot about your blinkered take on boxing that you actually believe that Erislandy Lara would be a BIG FIGHT for Golovkin!

In 2013 Ward was coming off of shoulder surgery and had 1 fight..AND LARA WOULD BE THE BIGGEST FIGHT GGG HAS EVER HAD

[OnePunch]

This is why what you posted made 0 damn sense...GGG gas never even had a big fight nor been inactive so what you posted was nonsense.AND NO BIG NAME OPPONENT WOULD FIGHT HIM??? WARD WAS BEGGING FOR THE DAMN FIGHT AND NOW LARA IS

Ward was like "I need my TuneUp Tour 2015-2016 but then lets fight at 50-50 (even though Ward cant sell 10 tickets outside of Oakland) and after you get stripped of all your 160 titles"


GGG was like

[JUNIABOY]

Very true. If Ward had the same attitude as GGG, he would have fought Kovalev 6 months ago.

When was the last time you heard Golovkin bleating about needing tune-ups before a big fight?

Although very true that GGG doesn't ask for tune-ups...it downplays the circumstance that he's also one of the more active boxers out there. Although, not so much this year since it appears that he might only fight 1 more time this year. Unless they throw in an August fight if the Canelo bout isn't made.

I only come here to talk, you idiot.

If I want to make bets I do that with MONEY, and with a bookie.

Exactly! Straight pussie. You TALK but don't believe that shyt your talking. This is a boxing forum you talk shyt I call you out on it. Now be gone punk

[JUNIABOY]

Uhhh no, if Ward was GGG then he'd probably still be trying to collect all the belts at 168 and offering Kovalev a 171 catchweight while being okay with Stevenson at 175.

Don't compare Ward needing tune ups for Kovalev to anything GGG is dealing with, Canelo is nothing compared to Kovalev. When GGG is in that deep in terms of competition then we'll see.

Weird rebuttal. Ward signed a contract to fight at 175. He can't go back to 168 until the contract is over...& Kovalev isn't asking for a CW...& there's a wealth of competition available for Ward at both 168 & 175...no SMW or LHW is afraid to fight Ward...quite the opposite for GGG. GGG has to chase guys down in order to get them in the ring. Your comparison is off.

Ward was like "I need my TuneUp Tour 2015-2016 but then lets fight at 50-50 (even though Ward cant sell 10 tickets outside of Oakland) and after you get stripped of all your 160 titles"


GGG was like

Stop man, stop,Kovalev didnt complain about the tuneups now did he?? Ward signed and agreement and now they are 1 fight away...why is it every time a stiff challenge come up for GGG there are excuses

[Sweet_Science2]

I'll put up my account that Ward fights Nathan Cleverly or someone worse in his next fight?

The bet was Ward won't fight Kovalev by the end of 2016. Kovaleb ALREADY has a fight lined up for the summer in Russia. Put your account up that Ward won't fight Kovalev by the end of the year?

SO what's up?

[JUNIABOY]

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!

Don't rule it out. One of those 2 things might actually happen...this is boxing. Years of inactivity might have diminished Wards' skills significantly. Hopefully that Ward/Kovalev fight ends up being that 50/50 bout we all wished for.
