Comments Thread For: Roach: If Golovkin Beats Ward - He's Pound For Pound Best

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, in order to claim the status of being the pound-for-pound king - IBO/IBF/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) would have to beat an opponent on the level of Andre Ward (29-0, 15KOs).

We all agree. But that train has passed. Ward moved on to face Kovalev. I doubt he'll come back down to 168 unless the payday is worth it. And there's only two people in boxing that can offer that type of payday to other fighters. That's Canelo and Joshua.

Well, yes Freddie. If Golovkin fought Ward and won P4P #1 would be reasonable, but he hasn't and ain't looking like he's gonna so what exactly is your point?

At 164 tho,

Ward is gonna fight for the real p4p king right now vs Kovalev

Then tell Wars to stop moving up just to avoid Gennady lol!! That coward will end up at HW by next year.

There won't be anything left after Kovalev's done anyways. Find a new boogeyman for Golovkin.

Well that fight never happens, so I guess Golovkin has to settle with Canelo. Who knows when that fight happens. That's a bigger pay day than Ward anyways and still, Canelo is just as big of a name as Ward, so Canelo's a better option at this point anyways. Canelo would be a good name, which Golovkin needs badly, and soon.

Why is Freddie talking about this when Ward is up at 175 now. If ward came back down it would affect him negatively so it wouldn't count. That ship has sailed.

Boxingscene and this Chaikowsky again report on an old interview from Roach, which is from 2015 to get some clicks, Boxingscene is no different than alot of cheap media out digging out old **** to entertain the haters + fans:

In May of this Year Roach said GGG is P4P #1, after seeing him fight again and realizing Ward is 2 weightclasses north.

That fight has "And WINNER by DECISION..." written all over it.

That's because 99% of REAL experts knew Ward would win. 164 at least gave him a better shot of winning. Anyone can see that.
