    Golovkin's Coach: Andre Ward Must Go to 164 or No Fight

    Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin, has made it absolutely clear that he's not going to budge from his position that a potential fight with Andre Ward will only happen if Ward - the recognized champion at super middleweight - is wiling to meet them halfway at a catch-weight of 164-pounds. Golovkin and his team received more than their fair share of heat in recent days, after placing a catch-weight demand on a potential fight with Ward. The reason for the heat, is because Golovkin was willing to fight both Carl Froch and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the full super middleweight limit.

      Props to boog13man for showing fight hype video directly catching Abel lying his a$$ off. Directly saying lets meet in the middle 164. Every time he opens his mouth I would play the tape. Where are all his other great fighters? Another roger mayweather. Ward makes him

        This ****ing guy literally says they need 164 and then denies it. Unreal.

        Does he not understand that the Internet is a thing?

          Here's a video of Sanchez reiterating the 154-168 statement. He also said Cotto never sparred GGG when Cotto was at Big Bear. He said GGG was to big to spar Cotto. He also said they would fight Cotto at 154. He said Edwin turned down a fight against GGG for $100,000. But he forgets to mention after saying in public 168, they sent Rodriguez a contract for a catchweight of 164 with a 10 lb rehydration clause

          Rodriguez explained further that not only was he dissatisfied with the terms of the fight, but he also felt frustrated about the situation in its entirety and even took a stab at what a catch weight could suggest about the confidence in Golovkin and his team.

          “Don’t send me a contract saying I have to be 10lbs off or come down to a catch weight, I’m a super middleweight and you said you’d fight anyone from 154 to 168 but then you’re fighting guys at light middleweights. If you’re really as good as you say and your team really believes you’re that good then move up and fight me at 168 and stop sending me contracts that aren’t even worth looking at.”

            Well, how can you bash Canelo's team for pretty much asking exactly what golovkins team was asking of ward. Also Canelo is the A side in this fight. Just like GGG was the A side for the Ward fight. They don't need GGG. GGG needs Alvarez.

                  These are the type of people giving GGG advice and guiding his career. It's no wonder he can't get a big fight. There is no direction for his career. Loeffler tried to use the Klitschko model, collect the belts and fight the #1 contender. I guess he never took into consideration that this isn't heavyweight, fighters can change weight classes. If you're going to try the Klitschko approach at MW you have to offer more money than anyone else. That's why Canelo is able to get fighters to fight at his weight.

                    Abel Sanchez's response: "See, what had happened was..." Pathetic! Abel saying "we never made an offer for 164" is like Oscar saying "we never made an offer for 155."
