Comments Thread For: Ward: Kovalev Has More Dimensions, A Better Fighter Than Golovkin

[Shadoww702]

well yeah he took about half your life span off due to lawsuits and injuries.

Can't argue with you there.

[Madison Boxing]

Sounds like a guy who has no intention of fighting kovalev, is more interested in calling out a middleweight

[Jubei]

Ward can't possibly stop talking about GGG. When was the last time GGG talked about Ward? LOL Ward is desperate, media doesnt give one shit about Ward as long as GGG is not involved, and that so close to the Kovalev fight, this is so telling.

90% of NSB thinks GGG is the better fighter than Kovalev: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=721103

Guys who have been in the ring with Ward, Kovalev and GGG, ring like Darnell Boone think that GGG is better, and has more power as well.

Ward has never been relevant since the Super 6 and he will probably retire in November, because even a lesser fighter in Kovalev than GGG will make him quit boxing.

Ward knows himself that the loss to GGG would be way more humiliating than losing to the Krusher, because one is a small MW and the other a legith LHW.

This guy is really fixated on a guy 15lbs smaller. And he wonders why he's got no fans

Stop lying. You have no way of knowing or proving this.

"Lying"? Not being able to prove something without a shadow of a doubt is not equivalent to 'lying'. You're going all emo because by criticizing Kovalev (which I've done many, many, many times before), I'm also criticizing your boyhero Ward.

I didn't think I'd need to show that Golovkin is more skillful than Kov, it's pretty much common knowledge, but here's my support:
Articles that aruge who's better.
http://www.*************.com/threads...lovkin.569787/
http://***************.com/index.php...kovalev.27749/

Eyetest:
-Kovalev has been rocked before, Golovkin has not.
-Kovalev throws basic 1-2s for the vast majority of the fight. Golovkin is known for his wide repertoire of punches, including world-class jab and left hook. Kovalev also rarely goes for the body, which is a big flaw in a boxer.
-There are multiple videos that argue about the quality of the Golovkin's defense. There are multiple well known boxing experts who show that Golovkin's defense is great. The +/- stats and opponents' landed punches % also show Golovkin at the top consistently.
You can bring up the Ouma fight 20 times a day, it will not change hard statistics and opinions of multiple boxing experts.
There is absolutely nothing to support Kovalev having great defense. It's average. Try to find one guy who thinks it's better.
-Golovkin has an outstanding amateur pedigree, having won over 300 fights and lost 5. You can twist whatever you want, but the fact is that NOONE with bad, or even average skills wins multiple world championships and an Olympic medal. Kovalev has limited amateur experience.


Hell, even YOU agreed that Golovkin is more skilled than Kovalev:

King in post #7 called that **** too.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

no, what we do know is everyone on here will be crying and call ward a runner and a hugger once he schools the crusher. then if he calls out GGG for 168 everyone will say "fight someone your own size"

thats what will happen. ROFL.

That's why I don't think GGG will move up to 168. Too close to 175. If Ward beats Kov. And GGG beats 168 lbers there is pretty much no one left but each other at a CW.

Ward says he is struggling to make 175, he's not going to 168.

In fact anyone with a bit of deductive reasoning knows Ward couldn't make 168 in 2015 or 2016.

The guy sent that contract to GGG as a PR move, knowing GGG has three unification fights in the works: Lemieux, Lee (but Suanders won), and the winner of Cotto/Canelo, who clearly ducked him but he stil, obtained the title.

Ward knee damn well they wouldn't fight him before getting these titles, and when they said 2017 at earliest, he whined.

That's not every single boxing expert. That's a lie on your part.

Yes I do think Golovkin is slightly more skilled.

[LaidOut]

Damn, Ward is one bitter mo fo. Sad that he can't control his jealousy. And I thought he was a christian man, too.

[Buckfever]

Ward is my favorite fighter right now but I have to say there's something not right with him regarding Golovkin. He just talks about him too much.

[EL_GRINGO]

what does GGG do better than Kovalev? Kovalev definitely has faced better opposition than him and has shown more variety of skills imo

Just to give one small example :
Cutting of the ring
He does that much better the Kovalev as we've seen in the Chilemba fight.
Look at the amateur Career,who he faced and conquered as an amateur,almost won everything.
It's my gut feeling he really let's himself get hit to look weak to get the fights,
I think after GGG vs Jacobs is done we will see the same as with the lemieux fight,a very good defense and i think he will not get hit alott in that fight.
And GGG is definitly not my favorite fighter by a long shot,thats Lomachenko.
So i dont really care if he's better or not but my gut says he is
