Comments Thread For: WBO Prez To Canelo Critics: Why Did Golovkin Reject Andre Ward!

[Nomadic]

wouldn't ggg fighting a real fighter for his FIRST TIME! benefit us fight fans? Why you defend this man so much? He owe you money?

Why am I still laughing...lol

[Thraxox]

GGG never avoided him, stop it redd foxx, lol.

Canelo wants a lightweight Pacquiao first to prepare him for Golovkin......

[Robi13]

It would benefit both as Canelo is at his lowest, seen as coward. 300 ppv, i think bradley vs pacman 3 did better, and Canelo is suppose to be the top draw in boxing.

yes benefit both, Canelo is 26!!!! Ggg 34! Don't you want to see the fight? Or you wanna negotiate for ggg? The fight offer is there my friend ggg team whining and complaining when they have everything to gain. The world would see ggg as the star! He can then make more money then the hit he would take for this one... Ggg needs to sign. Don't defend him! Send him a Twitter and tell him we don't want big dram show, we want fight signed lol

[HeroBando]

Can't bash G when his team they will fight Froch at 168 but not Ward. They already admitted fear and defeat. Ward at 164, but that will be 2017. That's a Duck Roger move.

You mean how Ward was up for 160 for Floyd but not 164 for Ggg, admitting defeat. Needs more weight advantage

[Robi13]

Why am I still laughing...lol

ggg fans are all negotiators bro! Smh!!! Sign and get it on, he stalling and only getting older, the more time passes the less money he gonna get offered, mark my words but if and when that happens, hope it doesn't, hope he must signs and we see the fight. But if it goes past sept 2017 and ggg is now 35, he gonna get offered 10 mil no percentage and he declines and then everyone gets on Canelo but guess what? That's business and big gramma show being a big drama queen and his team isn't doing him any favors.

It's like you haven't heard, these guys are not ready till September next year. If you wanted it yesterday, you know who to blame

[Citizen Koba]

Your argument weak on so many levels, first of which is quoting Ward rather than Golovkin's team calling out guys at 168lbs but refusing to fight there. Their whole lie was "154 to 168" but only if the opponents leave those weights.

Dawson offered Ward a fight at 168. He was the one who came up with that idea and Ice Man even verified it. You vilify Ward for a decision that Chad made? It's called taking responsibility for your actions.

There's a reason that everyone believes Ward in this situation and there's just a few hardcores who cling onto the idea that Golovkin actually wanted this fight.

Team Golovkin said they weren't interested, there's no real controversy over that I think. The whole 164 thing was prefaced by 'we don't really want Ward right now , but.. '. Some have said it's because GGGs a coward, which is possible, but I don't know the man so I can't say - though it's not a trait I associate with pro boxers. I think the point that has many people riled is simply that GGG apparently claimed (or at least Sanchez did) that they could beat Ward and then didn't take the option of fighting him when it was available, whatever the reason. Fair enough - talking big and not backing it up is never a good look.

However, I don't attach any blame to Golovkin for not fighting Ward any more than I do to Canelo for not (yet) fighting Golovkin. Whatever his words in the past his only obligation to fight GGG evaporated when he gave up the strap. Likewise Golovkin never had any obligation to fight Ward whatever he or his team may have said about 154 - 168 - the unspoken caveat of such statements- like 'i'm not afraid of anyone' has always been 'if the money's worth the risk'. Still, just as Canelo would have been well advised to drop the strap and keep his mouth shut about Golovkin, Golovkin may have been better advised to just STFU about 168 whatever his (or Abel's) intentions at the time.

it's only set for sept of 2017 because ggg declined 155, tried to use mandatory stance as leverage so Canelo vacated lol. We know why it's taking long and it ain't cuz Canelo

If Canelo didn't want the belt he shouldn't have paid the sanctioning fee, or should given it up on the spot. Or at least they should have offered a Cw when ordered to face his mando, start at 155 settle on 157. But they weren't gonna make that bluff, body not ready

if ggg and his team weren't idiots, ggg would have a significant name on his resume and we would know if he is really that good or hype so what's your point?
