So sad to hear

how the **** did this guy get so high in the p4p rankings with his best win being friggin david lemieux?

the media cant force fans to believe someone is great, they have to prove it. being handed belts isnt the right course nor is fighting no names

I hope he fights another "no name," my man Khurtsidze, a.k.a. "White Tyson." GGG would win, but if you're gonna fight club fighters anyway, why not Khurtsidze?

I'm a huge of of Golovkin but Sanchez needs to shut the hell up

He's doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing, keeping his fighter in the publics mind, or at least hard core.

People complain about k2 Yet they've been masterful at positioning him all things considered.

Who else could have cornered Canelo--no one on pbc comes close.

What other Eastern European fighter gets the media attention GGG does.

Sanchez starting to be annoying according to him GGG beats prime Ward, Kovalev easy. That will be his next claim when he moves GGG to 168 that they should move down to fight him.

No one said he beats them easy. And he's supposed to say he beats them. Boone also says GGG beats both of them.

So they passed on Ward, in order to fight Cotto or Canelo, and wound up fighting NOBODY! Maybe one day GGG can fight a TOP 10 P4P fighter? Great job K2!

Actually, do got two belts and is likely to get third. Canelo doesn't vacate if GGG is at 168.

bruh.....Ward has a better resume than GGG period....come on dude Ward had injuries and promo issues....dont try and add little stipulations..look at their career as a whole and it shows who is willing to take risks and who is not

Yea, Crawford has fought less too talent.

And Ward got super six, but since his resume is questionable at best. Dawson got KO'd in sparring trying to drain to 168.

Since then, nothing. He was injured in 2013, that's it. His fought at end of 2013. He could have fought but chose not to.

He wasn't injured when k2/HBO pitched him. He wasn't injured when he wanted two tune ups to fight GGG at end of 2016. And yes not now when he claims he'll never fight ggg's.

You ducked my question, dummy:

Who in the Mw top 3 is not ducking him?

So sad to hear

What's sad to hear, that he's considering Zurdo, Degale, etc? Why would that be sad, phony?

[Bronx2245]

Your funny! At this rate I would be happy to see him fight even a top #50 P4Per. Highest I believe was Murrey at around #75.

In reality, Ward was the only one who actually wanted the fight. I never thought Cotto was going to fight him, and I knew Canelo would only fight him @ 155. K2 should've seen that coming. Oh well, where is Billy Joe Saunders on the P4P list?

What's sad to hear, that he's considering Zurdo, Degale, etc? Why would that be sad, phony?

Because they fumbled the ball, doubted themselves at 168 and now screaming they will be better

dont get it wrong if he is finally considering doing what he should have already done than im all for it

Where's the link regarding "K2 pitched him?" Please show me where some HBO exec says that Ward turned down an offer to fight GGG! I've been asking for that from you and Kafkod for a month now, and nothing! What we do have is this:

According to Loeffler , the offer was rejected because K2 had already finalized Golovkin's upcoming HBO Pay-Per-View fight with Lemieux - and the winner would become the mandatory challenger to the November 21st showdown between WBC champion Miguel Cotto and Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Loeffler indicates that their strategy, since last year, has been to unify the middleweight division.

However, during that period they did explore potential fights at super middleweight with both Carl Froch and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

When it came it Ward, Loeffler and Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez made it very clear that a catch-weight of 164-pounds would be required. They also feel their boxer deserves a bigger portion of the monetary split. Roc Nation's offer was an even 50-50 deal.

Golovkin came under fire for his catch-weight demand. Loeffler explained that Golovkin fighting at the full weight limit of 168 would only be considered if the event was financially worth the risk. They felt a fight with Ward would not have generated the same financial benefits as a fight with Froch or Chavez...

"Andre Ward has always fought the best opponents that were available, and that holds true today as well. We want to fight the best and we obviously consider Triple G a formidable opponent. We made an offer to fight Triple G. It was the number one priority on Andre's list."

"We made him an offer, prior quite frankly, to knowing about the fight with Lemieux. But regardless of that fight, the offer was very, very clear - that he and Andre would both have one fight before they fought each other, and they would fight each other sometime in the first half of 2016. So obviously the fight with Lemieux would continue to move forward and the next fight would be Andre in 2016.

"They received the offer and in 36 minutes we got a response which basically stated 'we cannot accept the offer and we're going in a different direction.' In 36 minutes [they turned it down], so that tells me there was not even any consideration given to the offer, because at the end of the day Triple G always knew that he would never fight Andre Ward. He's stated publically, and in writing, that he would go up to 168 to fight anybody but Andre. We put an official offer on the table and we got a 'no' in 36 minutes.

There are no club fighters at this level.

Likely because they know when guys like Sergio, Sturm, Cotto, Canelo, Jacobs, Quillin, won't face you, that your good.

"I don’t think there’s anybody at 168-pounds that’s going to give him trouble either, it’s just a matter of getting more belts and moving on."

He says this now, of course. A few months ago he needed 164 for Ward. Sanchez just can't help but give reasons to hate on Golovkin.

A few months, damn man. No one said they needed 164, Loeffler suggested that to Rafael.

Ward wouldn't fight Dawson at a CW, dragged him down to 168. GGG didn't force Ward down 7 pounds.
