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

[Mr. Luthor]

you do realize that different organizations enforce their mandatory obligations differently, dont you?

you do realize that the IBF and the WBC are 2 completely seperate, different organizations, with different rules, and different enforcement, dont you?

because your posts make it sound as though you dont know the difference between the 2, or how each organization operates.

But hey, knowing and understanding those differences would actually require THOUGHT, which seems challenging for you........

Please direct us to where the IBF said they would strip Golovkin if he didn't fight Tureano Johnson and/or Dominic Wade.

[Mr. Luthor]

Unfortunately for the bs statement/theory that GGG was concerned about his IBF mandatory defense when his camp turned down the Ward offer right after Golovkin vs Lemieux was signed and announced.......

1. Golovkin wasn't the IBF Champion yet so worrying about being stripped of belt you do not own is ridiculous.

2. The IBF mandatory eliminator bout between Johnson and O'Kane was announced in August but the Golovkin vs Lemieux was announced in July and the actually fight was on the Golovkin vs Lemieux undercard.

This clearly means that when Golovkin turned down a future Ward fight, not only did Golovkin not have the IBF title, so no mandatory IBF concerns, but there wasn't even a mandatory IBF challenger at that point because that wasn't decided until Tureano won on the exact same day Golovkin won.

Hmmm???

everyone (except maybe you) knows full well the IBF strips fighters if they dont do their mando.

jesus christ man stop already. You lost the argument. Live with it man......


1. GGG-Lemieux was already made when Ward made his "offer". K2 knew that if they beat Lemieux they would have to do either an IBF mando, or a unification fight next. Period. End of story.

2. WHO the actual opponent was going to be is irrelevant to the fact that a mando was due. If there was no number 1, then the IBF moves to number 2. If there is no number 2, then they move to #3. And this is exactly what happened. After GGG beat Lemieux, Johnson was the #1. When the IBF notified him to commence negotiations, he withdrew with a shoulder injury. The #2 spot was vacant, so they moved to #3 which was Wade, who accepted the fight.

let it go already.

if 168 is "dead", then why are idiots like you always crying that GGG wont move up to 168?

clearly, because 160 is even deader

and yes, 'deader' is now a real word

Also, Ward wants BIG fights, Golovkin is happy with whatever

[aboutfkntime]

Its getting out hand here. People screaming he's a throwback, a boogey man etc etc but he is more maneuvered than anyfighter going right now.

I can't believe what I read on here sometimes.

Golovkin is not even close to a throwback fighter.

He has not done a single thing EVER, to even suggest that LMAO

They talked like he was a throwback fighter, sure.....

Top 3 is very impressive but it means that 2 boxers are ahead of Golovkin. Ridiculous to suggest that Canelo is holding the Lineal title "hostage" when he hasn't even had it for a year.

Canelo's not supposed to be holding the belt at all if he doesn't want to defend it. But no, you're right...Canelo may defend it within a year...here's for hopin'.

And only 2 ahead of GGG?...2 boxers in the entire world is above GGG?...most boxers could only dream to reach such heights. But he needs to justify it more.

[aboutfkntime]

The Wade fight never would have happened, because according to Ward (unless he is lying) he did not know about the Lemieux fight. So it is the Lemieux fight, not the Wade fight, that would have counted as the "one interim fight".

As for Sanchez belief that Canelo was never going to take the fight? Well, thats fine. Alot of people believed that. But it doesnt matter what people "think", you still have to go ahead and let the process play out. And now GGG has the WBC title, which he would not have if he had accepted the Ward offer......

Your whole premise..... that Golovkin is " too busy " to fit Ward into his hectic schedule, is fkn ridiculous.

He has never had a truly meaningful fight, EVER..... and there are no meaningful fights in his immediate future...... NOTHING!

Your " oh no, we are too busy to talk to Ward " premise, would only work if Golovkin wasn't fighting cans.

Every excuse you can think of..... has not happened, so is irrelevant.

Also, Tom Loeffler has stated on numerous occasions that he works 2-3 fights ahead with Golovkin..... which would have been perfect instead of either Wade or Brook..... and could have been slotted in around a potential GGG/Canelo fight..... which did not even eventuate.

Immediately after ruling out Andre Ward, they fought Wade then Brook..... so yea, it really is a no-brainer.

And insinuating that Golovkin is better off with a vacant WBC belt rather than a win over Andre Ward..... is a little remiss to say the least.

What Golovkin did was.... he attended the prom, but when approached by the prom queen to dance Golovkin stated that his dance-card was full..... the problem is, he did not dance with anybody else, he just sat in the corner by the candy machine talking to the fat girl..... WTF?

" holding " the lineal title

jeez you guys are dumb

stop being dumb

154 is 1lb below 155, you silly fk.

when did he last make 155 ?

it is 1lb, you silly fk LMAO

FACT: Canelo will make 154
FACT: you are a silly ****

In boxing terms, 1 lb is a lot you silly trollin' hype man. As it's been said before by other boxing fans, Caneloweight was nothing but a ploy to allow Canelo to maintain his size advantage over 154 boxers while not having to fight 160 fighters because he can complain that he's too small for 160 fighters. This is why weight divisions exist! You think the fans are going to support Canelo if he tries to do 155 again? You need to go back and do more work, hype man. Lots more work.
