Comments Thread For: Sanchez Warns: Golovkin Will Be Much Better Fighter at 168!

[Progrssive_Jedi]

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.

First off, Chavez ordeal was not in last year. Two, they exploit other fights when no unification was available. When Ward pitched k2--to fight in a year and a half--GGG had just set up Lemiuex and was lined up for the WBC and talk of WBO with Lee.

Can't you do your own research. Here's one of many-- http://www.badlefthook.com/2015/6/16...sts-andre-ward


Loeffler talks about it here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/t59u0mCCrPo

And after Ward's last fight when asked why he turned GGG down but then called him names later, Ward said this, "It's not ggg's day." Comp,entry ignored the question.

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.



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.

So Dominic Wade was a legit opponent with only 18 fights? I don't want to hear about no mando! Was Dominic Wade a legit opponent with only 18 fights? What level is he on?

Why is any of this sad, ****** fcuk? They move up when ready

I explained it already dummy. If you dont wanna read my posts and just rely on ignorance then run away and go play with those on your nuthugging level

Lara fights all garbage, while Andrade and J-Rock steadily call him out. But, but, but.

I wonder why these haters don't hate on Lara, oh I'm guess because he's not relevant.

Ward has fought one top ten fighter in four years. But, but, but... His next opponent is poised to be ranked 15th--yea that's a tune up for Kovalev, you ****ing kidding me.

First of all take pussie g nuts out your mouth damn. Lara has a Much better resume so what does that say about pussie g resume?

The difference between people who like Lara and boxing period aren't making f@ggot ass excuses like your bytch ass does. I would Love to see that fight.

You think if Andrade wins that takes the pressure off pussie g. Andrade whoops pussie g ass as well. And lil g will duck him believe that.

There is a reason your f@ggot ass doesn't want to see that fight even though Lara would be the best fighter on his resume. AM I LYING?

If you don't want to see him fight Lara because it will be boring and a sure knock out ? What the fuuck do you think of All pussie g previous opponents who aren't as good as Lara?

I KNOW YOU CAN'T ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.

It was a moronic explanation, was giving you another chance. But chances are that's the best you can do

You ducked my question, dummy:

Who in the Mw top 3 is not ducking him?

Daniel Jacobs is Golovkin's WBA mandatory, yet Abel Sanchez and Tom Loeffler (unless pressed) continue to act as if the man doesn't even exist.

Wonder why? Because Jacobs is a 29-year old, 6' tall, full-sized middleweight switch hitter, with pop in both hands and clear top-level boxing ability. Jacobs has been clipped before, so that's an opening, but Golovkin fighting with his face-first style, against a guy who can box, can punch, and is as athletic as Jacobs is is a recipe for Golovkin's hype to be ruined.

So Dominic Wade was a legit opponent with only 18 fights? I don't want to hear about no mando! Was Dominic Wade a legit opponent with only 18 fights? What level is he on?

And who the hell cares about what you want to hear? You think he should give up his IBF belt because some idiot on boxingscene 'dont wanna hear about no mando'?

Do you see the Golden State Warriors b1tch and moan when they have to play the Knicks? Some ******ed fans on his site.

[hitking]

This is pathetic enough on its own. GGG's online attorneys coming to defend it makes it worse.

Enjoy this sad statement? Wtf? Later ******
