Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I'm Surprised Brook Accepted, He Earned My Respect

[DadeCounty305]

Of course he's surprised. Because he clearly wouldn't do the same.

Ward didn't want to fight GGG. All Ward had to do was meet him at 64. That's fair. People forget Ward fought at 175 in the olympics. He's a natural LHW.

Why isn't he meeting Kell halfway? He can make 154 quite easily apparently.

And we surprised that you made a serious offer to a welterweight!

[Fetta]

I'm more surprised GGG accepted

[Dr.Cool]

So G said he wanted Eubank but never even bothered to make any offer in writing. He didn't even say he tried to make a fight with Jacobs. Lara has been saying he wants G at 160 for a while now. Ward called g out and even sent him a contract. G and Loeffler admit they told him no, but maybe in a couple of years. Canelo said he would fight him, just not at 160. So who has G made any real attempt to fight? Lara, Andrade, Charlo 1, Charlo 2, and J-Rock are all at 154 but instead of trying to get one of them he goes to a lower division! Golovkin is scared to death to get in the ring with someone who has a realistic chance of beating him. G doesn't have to move up, he could fight the best from the SWW/JMW division. But instead he doesn't try to make any fight until Wade (who had never even been in a fight scheduled for 12 rounds!) is made mandatory and says he has to fight this joke. Now he says no one at 160 or 154 will fight him, despite being called out and despite never trying to make a fight with anyone with a chance. Everyone is scared of me too. I know because I have done just as much as G to get the best in the ring with me.

That isn't true at all. Ward sent G a contract, G and Loeffler immediately said "NO". They could have made a counter offer. But they said they wouldn't even consider fighting Ward until 2017. Those were the words of Loeffler. Ward did fight at 175 in the Olympics because he wanted his friend Dirrell to win a gold along with him. G kept throwing Ward's name out there and said if it was 50/50 they want it. Then Ward said ok, and G said no, no no! And this is why so many dislike g. Because he throws names out and then turns them down and says they are scared of him. It is said. If g and Sanchez and Loeffler didn't run their mouth so much and then refuse to back it up over and over again, G would probably be the most popular fighter out there today. Ward made an offer and G said no way. Twist it anyway you want but those are the facts.

ward turned the fight down when he was the a-side. we know this already so why are you pretending? then when ward was the b-side he pretended to be the a-side. no other fighter would be called a duck for failing to agree to b-sides demands so just stop. could ggg have tried harder to fight ward? sure he could have but don't pretend like ward wanted teh fight when he didn't do anything substantive to make the fight.

This clown went from the Boogeyman to Casper the Friendly Ghost all within a year.

When did Ward ever refuse to fight G??? And why do you have to make things up to justify G? G didn't refuse because of any demands. Loeffler admits that Ward sent him a contract and Ward wanted to negotiate but they said no. If G was willing to take the fight he would have made a counter-offer. But of course the only way to try and say G didn't duck Ward is to lie. Refusing to negotiate and just saying no way isn't something a fighter does if he is willing to fight someone. Loeffler said if it was 50/50 they would fight Ward. Ward said ok and even sent them a contract. Then G and Loeffler said no. They didn't say ok but only at 164. They didn't say yes but we get the lions share of the purse. He said no. Ward cleaned out 168. He fought all the best. Then he was inactive for years due to injuries and problems with his promoter. So when did he refuse to fight G? Now I guess Ward is fighting Kovavlev at 175 because he's scared of G. lol. You G fanboys are really grasping at straws now. G can continue to be the king of mandatories and fighters two divisions lower. While Ward tried to get G and couldn't and is stepping up to fight the best lhw.

He's surprised cause the best 4 MW challengers ducked him openly just now, so who'd expect a welter to want it, right

Is this how all of you keep defending this ****. Ok cool they don't wanna fight him (Saunders, Jacobs, nelo) so u fight a fckn WW. If he such a small MW why not canelo 155. This fight is not a unification so its not bout the belts, that excuse comes about when threats are perceived, then "we unify belts". People like u and others defend his unwillingness to be great or take risk but I read comments trying to discredit ward, Floyd. Is it racism or just plain hate. Actually some think this is a good fight like yourself but called khan/nelo a sham. Shameless like Lara said "GGG and Nelo are twins...
