Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Eyes Andre Ward - If Both Keep Winning

[CaneloMaidana]

Head to head, I would pick Kell Brook to beat and likely stop Alexander Brand in a 12 round fight set at the SMW limit.

No you wouldn't. Golovkunt is scared.

I don't think you understood the question. Obviously GGG is not as big a star as Floyd, but we're not talking about him fighting Floyd. The fight we're talking about is GGG-Ward. So in that fight, GGG is the A-side, right?

It's like how GGG haters say GGG should have accepted a 90-10 split, and a catch weight, against Canelo, because "Canelo is the A-side and he calls the shots."

But... Canelo isn't as big a star as Floyd, either. So that doesn't matter. What the Flom0s say matters is who is the bigger star in a given fight. Canelo is a bigger star than GGG, so he gets to call the shots. GGG is a bigger star than Ward, so he gets to call the shots. Right????

if ward beats Kov, he and ggg will be at the same level none of them should be call the shots

[Shadoww702]

He has moved up one pound before in his career. A couple times, maybe more. But you know, moving up one pound only classifies as you as being in that division if you're Canelo. If you're GGG you're just a middleweight + one pound.

But did he fight a SMW Champion???

[Boxing Logic]

When Ward beats Kovalev, he will become the P4P #1 fighter in the world!

True! I agree. But P4P ranking doesn't matter in negotiations according to you guys. Because you guys said GGG should accept a 90-10 split against Canelo, and accept a catch weight. And yet, GGG is higher ranked pound for pound than Canelo. So clearly when it comes to negotiations, you guys value financial mite, not pound for pound ranking.

And yet now with Ward, you bring up pound for pound ranking.

Do you see now why normal boxing fans don't take the haters seriously? Maybe it's not you but overall they can't keep their story straight.

When the topic is GGG-Canelo, they say "Canelo is the A-side because he's a bigger star, it doesn't matter who the higher ranked pound for pound fighter is!"

When the topic is GGG-Ward, they say "Ward is the A-side because if he beats Kovalev he'll be #1 pound for pound! Being the bigger star doesn't matter!"

If you were a GGG fan, what would you think, honestly, when you see inconsistent arguments being used as a way to always be critical of him, and favor whoever is against him?

Golovkin isn't a PPV fighter, neither is Ward. Situation isn't the same as Canelo-Golovkin not even close.

Canelo is a PPV star he brings the money. Golovkin doesn't he gets the around the same purses as Ward. You moron.

[SUBZER0ED]

Well Ward already said he won't go back down to 168 for Golovkin.

Ward will go back down if he loses to Kovalev. He'll want to regain lost ground; what better way to do that than go down to 168 to face Golovkin?

[Shadoww702]

But he ain't fight Bandu Jack or James DeGeale or Lucian Bute so he ain't clean out the division but he is the best in the Super Middleweight Division and he prove that he will do better against Kovalev but I still say Golovkin don't want that work it's just a PR move because he is fighting Brook

Kovalev > Bandu Jack or James DeGeale or Lucian Bute X1000 = TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!!

Jack - KTFO **** Edwards, MD Marco Perrian Water,

Bute - KTFO by Froch. Who was schooled by Ward. OVER rated.

DeGale - Decent but would never beat Ward.

I would take out ALL my $$$$$ and put it on Ward if he fought those guys and was even CLOSE to a 1-1 favorite.

GGG will fight EVERYONE from 154-168 but Ward had to be 164. That is for a REASON!!!! His ppl knew he had slim odds to win at 168. 164 at least gave him a fighting chance.

[Shadoww702]

Ward will go back down if he loses to Kovalev. He'll want to regain lost ground; what better way to do that than go down to 168 to face Golovkin?

I can see that! As a mater of fact that's the only option for Ward then. But GGG will not move up! 164 is as high as he will go...Against Ward.

[Mr. Luthor]

saying things like this make it obvious that you havent the slightest idea how the boxing business works. Kovalev lost NOTHING by accepting the deal. If the fight happens, great, and if not, great. Kovalev loses nothing either way. GGG would have lost both his IBF title and his WBC interim title had he accepted the Ward "offer".


If you want to claim K2/GGG ducked Ward because he might lose, then fine, whatever, thats your opinion. But to claim he could have accepted the same situation Kovalev did, well that just makes you look ******.........

Stop embarrassing yourself.

GGG would not have lost any of his belts because the Ward offer was for both boxers to have 2 fights leading up to them stepping into the ring with each other. That in no way, shape or form would stop GGG from having those fights at 160. The tune-up fights were/are for Ward to knock off the ring rust, not GGG or Kovalev. Now with that information, please explain why Brook isn't being stripped of his title since a lower weight champion can't accept a fight against a higher weight boxer? I guess Golovkin is the only boxer that can't agree to future fights against boxers from other divisions without being stripped of his current titles.
