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

[Robi13]

It's not gonna look good if he keeps avoiding the dominant mw champ with record defenses, and boxings biggest fight. Remember how Max was punking him after Smith and promised more to come till he sacks up? That's loss of respect

But it looks great for ggg and his record of defenses and knockouts to be against a bunch of lames and bums? Don't have a double standard bro! Canelo did what he did to gain leverage that's all! He said what he said to bike the fight t and have people like you and I talk about it. Now the offer is there, if ggg don't wanna make 2-3 times his highest pay day ever, and become the star of boxing, and all this at age 34... Then I guess he can keep adding bums to his record and keep gaining fans like you who make him out to be a God or something... Beating all bums lol. Ggg need this fight not Canelo don't get it twisted

Golden Boy Prez: Canelo Has One Goal - To Fight Golovkin!

Ok fair enough, GGG ducked Ward. But Ward never had a belt at Middleweight, was never in the same weight as GGG and crucially was not a mandatory fight. There are pretty big distinctions between the two scenarios here.

[MEXfistology]

they wont be talking all that shytt once ggg wins the wbo belt and they start receiving some ggg money for the sanctioning

[Lester Tutor]

dayum.. looks like this week I don't have to do any work.

Disclaimer: Golovkin can do no wrong.

[ThatDude44]

Good question. Why don't they ask him why he ducked Ward. GGG is media protected.

Odd thing about this statement is that a case can be made that Golovkin wasn't even open to the idea of a Ward fight in 2016 because he was hoping to fight Canelo - or at least the Cotto / Canelo winner. That's not to say he would have fought Ward if he hadn't have been WBC mando - quite likely he wouldn't anyway - but the point is kinda moot when there was what appeared to be a much more desirable option available.

K2 made what, at the time at least, looked like an entirely sensible choice.

Yeah, I said in my previous post. They said they weren't interested in Ward.

In fact I said in the post you just responded to that they probably wouldn't have fought Ward anyway.

But yeah, that was an insightful rejoinder. Admirable laconism. well done.

[bambamjackson]

they bash Canelo as he was holding a middleweight title yet refusing to face the no1 in the division, they bash Canelo as after the Khan fight he called GGG into the ring and acted like a big man yet then ran away like a girl, GGG has never fought at 168, he wasn't holding a belt in that division he didn't call Ward into the ring after one of his fights and said he would fight him, thats why GGG doesn't get the **** that Canelo does, if you cant understand that you need to follow another sport
