Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: GGG Beats Kovalev, Ward and Stevenson

[ThatDude44]

All about what GGG "would" do but will never step up to prove it.

[ThatDude44]

AS SOON as we drop Canelos ripped off bloody head on Oscars table, we are going straight to 175 to batter all these dummies.

You just wanna taste GGG's batter.

GGG would beat Ward and Stevenson easily, but GGG/Kovalev would be 50/50.

So what's the difference between Kovalev and the other two?

Mmmm ..... ?

How can something be factually incorrect if you're Speculating?

You see Ward and Kov side by side, it's easy to see that Ward is taller, and thicker than Kov. If he was 186 two days out for Sali B, then he could easily be 190+ on fight night. The guy says he struggles to make 175 new. He isn't struggling to take off 10 pounds.

Ward has been as high as 190, the one fight weight I've seen and he was a SMW then. And since he hides his fight night weight, it's probably safe to assume he is heavier than he wants people to know.

Which is also why he and Hunter said he'd be HW champ by 30.

Ward weighed in at 190 on fight night against who at SMW????

He was 176 against Dawson 186 against Barrera and that's as big as he has looked. You GGG nut jobs just love shrinking him and enlarging his opponents when it's convenient don't you.

You are taking a page from Khan's book of weight fibbing. If Golovkin was an average sized Junior Middleweight then he would have had no problem making the Canelo fight at 155 or at least attempting to call his bluff since by your reasoning he could make 154.

See,heres the thing,im a huge ggg fan,but when Sanchez comes out and says **** like this,it gets pretty hard to defend golovkin. Golovkin needs to tell Abel to shut his damn mouth,and focus solely on talking about the remaining belts at 160,and the possible canelo fight. There is little to no reason to be talking about anything at 168,let alone the 3 best fighters at 175.

Amen to that. Goddamn, Abel makes it hard work being a GGG fan sometimes.

As far as I've been able to tell Ward and Kovalev are about as evenly matched as you ever get in a high level fight in terms of physical size, age and professional experience. And any arguments about Ward being the 'bigger guy' are kinda moot - they're fighting for the IBF trinket so there's a 10lb rehydration limit in place, OK it's not an absolute limit, guys can continue to gain somewhat during the day of the fight, but it will ensure that they're pretty close. Besides with both guys being in their early 30s now both teams will know that the detriment of excessive weight changes are likely to outweigh any miniscule advantage gained by carrying an extra lb or two to the ring.

It's funny, people want him to go now, cite B-hop. B-hop was over 40 when he moved up, lost to Taylor and had already set his records and unified.

There is no reason ggg shouldn't get to do the same. If these guys like Canelo (whose a MW who fights only smaller guys) and Jacobs stay bent on letting ggg accomplish this with little resistance, so be it.

All the MW greats best fights were from guys coming up from 147 and 154. So this talk about that ggg fights smaller guys is all bs hater Shiiit.

Both guys would have a good 15-20 pounds of weight. Ward probably more. He's bigger than Kov, and we don't have much in the way of his rehydration weight, but it's likely in the 190 area. Kov was 186 aginst Pascal and Ward is bigger than him. 174 was ggg highest weight. So he'd be giving up 15 pounds at least.

However, that 15 pounds isn't a lot. When ggg is done at MW I have zero doubt he will move up.

GGG will have to be good to beat either of these guys, they have real size on him.

Progressive Jedi trying to defend Abel... lol

Yeah they are pretty much equal in age, size, height and reach so someone trying to tell me Ward is the taller heavier man is just ******. No one can complain about weight advantages in this one, the fight will be decided on who is the better fighter on the night not who is bigger or who is draining down to weight class he is too big for.

People don't realize that some industry will now be out to hunt Abel in several exposing ways. Dude went too far saying Tyson didn't dominate his division. "The bosses had enough of him. In the trunk he goes, and if Gennady fights in Vegas next time...there are plenty of holes in the desert..."
