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

[kafkod]

I know he said that dummy, when everyone 154-168 was A side to him. Then Hbo pulled him and Ward in, are you ready to fight? Ggg is ready, Ward has some excuse. Hbo is impressed. While Ward is losing lawsuits Ggg is gaining fans and making himself the A side to everyone above Canelo weight.

Good points, but wasted on that fool.

Morons like him live in the moment, like little children. All that matters to them is petty point scoring. And the passage of time, and the way it changes situations and relationships between people, is beyond the ability of their tiny little gnat-brains to process and understand.

uh no I'm not, tf does all this have to do with standards and if that were true, where are ggg standards for not having a single good name in bis resume? Lame standards?

You aren't getting it, I agree that Golovkin's resume is crap. I'm just saying that this guy Paco is a snake,he pretty much lines every Top Rank fighter up for a title, and now he is down right giddy, because Canelo has paid his sanctioning fees. He's to transparent for me to get behind,shady alphabet guys like this only hinder the sport.

I don't see what the big deal is about what was said.

GGG didn't fight Ward because he is bigger and better and GGG would likely lose. HBO didn't want to risk losing their investment in GGG so they moved away from the fight.

Canelo isn't fighting GGG right now because he will likely lose. HBO just signed him from SHO and they are counting on him to replace Manny as their flagship fighter. They are going to milk the investment in Canelo as long as they can.

The best case scenario is the younger and more popular Canelo defeats an undefeated. GGG. Canelo is younger and has the Mexican fanbase. Canelo can sell 250-300k PPV's with just about anyone.

Both sides are making long term business decisions.

Ward asking GGG to fight him at 168 is the same as GGG asking Ward to fight him at 160.


it's completely insane. no concessions on both sides.


the fairest way is at 164. which Ward ducked.


facts.

You should work for the Trump campaign.

Ward called out GGG one hour after it was announced that GGG had a contract to fight Lemieux.....this can be checked out for a fact in the transcripts……second of all GGG's team had been trying to come to an agreement for two years with Ward....the problem was first Ward was in trouble with law suits with Goossen...they were suing each other....Goosen won the lawsuit three times.....then Ward signed with Roc Nation....the first thing Roc Nation said was that Ward needed two tune up fights before they would let Ward fight GGG...then Ward fought one fight at 172 pounds....GGG and his team got tired of waiting for Andre Ward to make up his mind what he wanted to do...then look at the numbers....Ward fought in his own home town and he could not put 4000 people in the arena....Ward fought at the Citizens centre and there were only 3000 people....every single word I have put here can be checked out by anybody simply by looking at the transcripts....and if that is not enough for you then here is a video by Tom Loeffler.....either Loeffler is lying or Ward is lying....only problem with that is that the transcripts will back up Loeffler and not Ward...

When did GGG ever fight in the smw division and when was he ever Ward's mandatory?

When did GGG ever invite Ward into the ring and tell the boxing world that you're going to fight him next only to relinquish your title and run back down in weight?

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

GGG didn't win a super mw title and invite Ward in the ring to challenge him in front of packed stadium of fans and many ppv viewers - that's where the criticism is warranted for the red- headed COWARD!!!

The Great White Myth
Gennady Golovkin has more clout in the sport of boxing than Andre Ward... And the saga continues.
