Comments Thread For: Ward: Brook Fight Showed People Why Golovkin Didn't Want It

[The Big Dunn]

Three things:
1) When Golovkin is asked about Ward, he says "Next" - which was my main point. The fight's gone for now. Shut the *** up.
2) Sanchez is an assh-le.
3) Ward's answer is PR bull**** for himself. He's using the Brook fight, in which Golovkin did not box, to say that's why Golovkin didn't fight him - because apparently Golovkin can't box. There are dozens of other fights in which Golovkin BOXES beautifully. Yet somehow we're supposed to believe that was a mirage and what he displayed vs. Brook is the extent of his boxing skill? Everyone knows the fight vs. Brook was not typical of Golovkin. Anyone with 2 eyes can go on youtube and say "uh oh, that doesn't look the same as the previous 10". You didn't see Ward saying this after Lemieux fight, did you?

And lastly, he turned that quesiton into self promotion. That's a little b1tch move if I ever saw one.

He didn't always say next. when he didn't you defended it by saying he was just answering a question, that is the same thing Ward did here.

as for his boxing skill-obviously he is going to box better when in with guys that suck. when he is in witha good boxer, he didn't box as well. that is expected, no different than Canelo boxing beautifully in with some but looked terrible in with Floyd.

Self promotion? thats what GGG did when he said his dream fight was floyd at 154. i

If you allowe GGG a pass for things he's said because he was answering a question in an interview, the same should be extended here.

Even though Ward admitted he couldn't make 168 anymore....

this offer he talks about like it's evidence of a huge sack was actually extended to golovkin while he was contracted to fight lemieux on PPV. it was an offer to wait around, essentially. ward fought at 172 and 175 in his next two fights.


if you look at the rhetoric of ward's team, and ward himself, it's obvious they didn't want the fight. golvokin's people didn't want it either, but to act like ward wanted the fight is all types of wrong. the guy crapped all over the fight, and his people sent an offer during the build up of a PPV, which couldn't be more disingenuous.

The one bad thing about so many fighters taking the Brook fight as proof Golovkin was exposed is that what courage some fighters gained from that will vanish the moment he slaughters another top middleweight.

What you're saying is true but its a lot easier for the detractors just to say "Lil Mark Ass Buster G a scurred coward doe!"

Unless I'm SERIOUSLY misremembering things, Golovkin himself has not said anything about Ward since June 2015. Pretty sure you're thinking of Loeffler or Sanchez. Loeffler is doing his good promoter bit 'we'll fight anyone, we'll look at our options' blah blah. Sanchez is an ass, like I said

as for his boxing skill-obviously he is going to box better when in with guys that suck. when he is in witha good boxer, he didn't box as well. that is expected, no different than Canelo boxing beautifully in with some but looked terrible in with Floyd.

Except he said BEFORE he fight that he's gonna make a streetfight out of it. It's not like he said 'well I didn't box well, but it's not because of him, I didn't want to box'.

For example - Sanchez and Golovkin together said AFTER the fight with Willie Monroe that Golovkin let himself be hit. A lot of people on this forum didn't believe them, because it was said AFTER. If you watch the fight, there is some proof of it where he lowers his hands. But that point is still completely arguable - because it was said AFTER.

In regards to Brook, Golovkin mentioned weeks before the fight that he wants to street fight Brook, and he also talked about 'different training methods'.

Self promotion? thats what GGG did when he said his dream fight was floyd at 154. i

Uh, no. Show me an interview where Golovkin was asked about how Floyd fought, and Golovkin replied 'He didn't look good, that's why he ducked me'.

Saying "I want to fight X" is completely different from saying "He looked bad, that's why he ducked me".

We know

Team GGG dropped that ball and are still paying for it

[whatismyname]

That was actually a smart move by GGG... ward would school him

[Sid-Knee]

Yes, Andre. Golovkin was able to look into the future and predict he was going to struggle with a Welter so chose not to fight you 2 years earlier.

Why do you think I always ask triple G for the lottery numbers?? because it makes sense that's why.
