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

[Redd Foxx]

Here come the GGG fans to either ignore the fact that he blatantly ducked ward, or to talk about something else that has nothing to do with this article but somehow still makes GGG a Demi-God.

They'll come in with their delusional list of broken "facts" that they love to crank over, meanwhile the rest of the world knows what's up.

Great username BTW. Long-live the Hammer.

If Canelos thought he could beat GGG he would have fought him already for a 55- 45 split. Canleo was the B side to fight Cotto so he took less than 50 percent, yet he wont fight GGG being the A side. He knew he had a chance to beat an old, lighter, midget, pass his prime Cotto.

We're talking Golovkin-Ward here you moron.

IF Golovkin wanted to fight Ward, he would've done so at 168, and not at their requested bs catchweight of 164, which was a blatant DUCK.

Second of all, Bumlovin will be very lucky if he gets 35% against Canelo, he's the B side by far.

And third, you're talking of Cotto as if he was a bum, unlike the roster of fighters included all over Golovkin's resume.

When u go up in weight you dont come back down - Andre Ward.

If GGG fought Chavez Jr or Froch at 168 it would have been a good pay PPV wise. Fighting Ward doubt it, just wait an see the Ward vs Kovalev numbers. Ward wanted 50-50 pay but GGG was the one taking the higher risk not Ward. Plus Ward weight drained Dawson, but Ward would not meet GGG at 164. If Canelo wants to meet half way just offer GGG more money to convince him.

GGG fans need to admit he didn't want anything to do with Ward. No shame in admitting he only wanted to move up for the easier fights that paid more money. When it's all said and done GGG didn't want anything to do with Ward. If you say you can't duck a guy not in your weight class you also gotta admit Froch and Chavez jr didn't duck GGG

[HeadShots]

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.

Two Situations were not remotely the same

Was GGG the WBC and lineal champion at 168? And before you Canelo fans say he wasn't the real MW champ, before the fights he was calling himself MW champ. They presented his fights as MW fights. That's part of the reason he gets criticized, because he was fighting at MW trying to say he wasn't a MW.

Was GGG mandatory to Ward?

Was GGG v Ward even a big fight at that time?

Did GGG call Ward into the ring and say let's fight?

Did GGG spend the last four years not fighting and was not reliable enough to make a fight with?

Did GGG ask Canelo to fight but to give him an interim and then back out?

Did GGG vacate a title at 168 but say he instructed his team to make the fight, only to announce a few weeks later you wouldn't fight for 18 months?

Is GGG the younger fighter that is clearly trying to wait until Ward ages to fight?

Is GGG v Ward the hottest fight out? No, Ward is an unknown to most casuals.

Did Canelo have three unification fights lined up when GGG came calling? Nope.

When GGG came calling to Canelo he wasn't suggesting it happen a year or so away.

I get it, WBO is sucking on Canelo's teet! But this is embarrassing.

Yet Canelo ducks GGG with his weak resume. Cotto had a great resume, lost to Margarito, Manny, Mayweather, Trout, never won an elite fight including vs Canelo. Your the moron replying to this comment, then you talk about Canelo and Cotto. Fkn hypocrite.

Except they had Ward pegged for a fight in 2014. And they said in 2017 when they were ready to move up. And still today say it's a fight that could happen.

It's Ward who claims it will never happen. It's Ward saying he'd make zero CONSESSIONS to make the fight.

K2 rightly turned Ward down, he wanted them to drop three possible unfications to sit around until he was read. Lemiuex, Lee, and Canelo would have been a good run leading to a late 2017 Ward match-up at 168.

As we know now, Ward could never make 168. He now says he struggles to make 175.

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.

Lol! Cotto couldn't even say ggg's name without fumbling. Canelo knows what's up.
